Sonrise Christian School is a welcoming and well-rounded place for kids to grow both academically…read moreand spiritually. The teachers truly care about their students and go the extra mile to provide a safe, encouraging, and structured environment. The smaller class sizes make it easier for kids to get individual attention, and the staff communicates well with parents so you always feel included in your child's progress. What I appreciate most is the balance Sonrise offers -- strong academics paired with a faith-based foundation and values that carry over into everyday life. It's not just about getting good grades; kids also learn character, responsibility, and respect for others. If you're looking for a school that supports both education and personal growth, Sonrise is an excellent choice.

My experience with the administration's handling of bullying was deeply disappointing. This school…read morealso lacks diversity and falls short of creating an environment where all students feel safe. During the first week of my son's 2nd grade (SY 2025-26), school opened without a permanent class teacher for them. Different substitute teachers came in each day that week. This was my son's second year at Ben Lomond and during that first week he was repeatedly bullied by a boy who sat near him. This boy would hit my son on the head with a pencil and other objects. I never received a report about this. Later that week in the cafeteria, the same boy told my son and his friend that if they didn't bow to him, he would slap them. My son refused and the boy slapped him across the face in front of several children. Unfortunately, no school staff witnessed the incident. My son was scared that he confided in his older sister instead of me. After learning what happened, I immediately reported the incident to the principal, Mrs. P****, via email so there would be a documented record of both the incident and the school's response. I also provided names of student witnesses. She called the following morning and said she would investigate. Later, my son told me the principal came into the classroom and personally witnessed the same student hitting him on the head with a pencil. Despite seeing this behavior firsthand, the only action taken was moving the student to a seat closer to the teacher. After that, I never received a follow-up phone call or email, NO explanation of the investigation's findings or a plan to ensure my son's safety. I had hoped the boys would at least be placed in separate classrooms, but they remained classmates for the rest of 2nd grade and were even assigned to the same class again in 3rd grade. Later that year, the same boy brought a toy gun to school and told classmates, including my son, that it was a real gun. Although it turned out to be a toy, the incident deeply frightened some students. Only after that was he removed from the school. As a parent, I expected clear communication, and a concrete plan to protect my child after reporting about a bullying. Instead, I was left to rely on my son's account with little to no communication from the school. I ultimately withdrew my son midway through 3rd grade, and it was one of the best decisions I made for his well-being. No parent should have to wonder whether their child is truly safe at school.

My son had a class with this other student and both my son and niece were enrolled in the after school program/childcare located in this school with that same student and when all of this was had happened I went to the school and it was all brushed under a rug. The principal before him Mr. Young cared a lot more for the kids and was extremely active on campus. It's unfortunately that he left. But with this new Principal I didn't feel my son and niece were safe at this school but I did what I did as a parent to protect them and I didn't feel their safety was a concern of his.

My niece attends Royal Oak middle school. This is her first year and it's been nothing but a…read morehorrible experience. They allow bullying at this school. Her dad has talked to the school, principal, counselors and teachers with absolutely no help. They know who the problem kids are and they do nothing about it. Her dad even went to the school district for help. They told him, go back and speak to the school because they know the student. My niece is autistic and was put in a regular class, expected to fend for herself. The year started with bullying, now they torment her and the school and the district sit in their offices with their arms crossed and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Special needs children are covered under the disability act. They have the right to attend school like the other kids. I guess the only way to solve this is to take legal action and get the media involved. Maybe then they will go into damage control!

I have the privilege of presenting at Career day every year at this school. It is remarkable that…read morethey have such a well organized and wonderful career day for their student students. I certainly didn't have one like this when I was in middle school. I hope it inspires 6th through 8th graders to dream big and start thinking about what they are passionate about and start working hard towards those possible futures. Sierra Vista has two leadership tracks for students who are interested: one is ASB which is mostly in charge of rallies and school functions and the other is WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) which is designed to have 7th and 8th graders orient and welcome new students including 6ty graders. Both sets of leadership students had important roles on today's career day. The WEB students designed all the Peanuts and Snoopy themed decorations of the event and gave a speech to welcome the presenters to Career Day. The ASB students guided the presenters to the Professional Development room next to the school library as well as to their respective classrooms. These leadership students were very polite, respectful, and did an excellent job representing their school and making the presenters such as myself feel welcome and glad to participate. Well done, Sierra Vista, to the whole team that made today happen! Thank you to the guidance counselors for overseeing and planning the day and to the PTA for providing the breakfast and lunch!! I look forward to next year!
