    Absolutely HORRIBLE the food is disgusting and when I went here, the staff was so mean. Do not recommended taking your kid here.

    On school days, between the years 1977 and 1982, you could find me dining my lunch hours away in…read morethe assembly room-cum-cafeteria at Cole Elementary, home of the Bulldogs. (RIP, 1981, mascot "K.C.". The sure-footed English bulldog strutted the school's halls for many years with his adoptive owner, School Principal Mr. McTeer, who, unfortunately, may also require an RIP.) Excluding holidays and sick days, that's about 196 days of patronage so the 1 star rating is not prematurely appointed. Indeed I gave Cafe Le Bulldog many chances to tidy up their Sloppy Joes -- and their service. Although a fan of the tater tots, spaghetti with garlic bread, and chocolate cake, I received more than one too many overcooked vegetable and one too many spoiled or leaking half pints of Vitamin D milk. The cole slaw (potential play on words neither recognized nor utilized in my 5 years of attendance) was bogged down in mayonnaise; the weiner wraps were unredeemed by the most generous application of mustard and the Sloppy Joes were, not unlike Irritable Bowel Syndrome, a chronic disappointment. Being the young connoisseur of starches that I was, I compromised by scraping the gloppy brown diarrhea-like matter off the bun and nibbling in a circle around the stain the best I could. The cafeteria was ruled by a stern hostess who received the unfortunate moniker "Raisin Butt". I suspect agriculture as much as anatomy played a role here, for raisins were -- and still are -- a major food export of the San Joaquin Valley. Many of us toted raisins in our lunch boxes and we would receive even more raisins in our trick or treat bags on Halloween. Finally, as very few of you will remember, Fresno (big city neighbor of Clovis) is the title of a 1986 TV mini series about dueling raisin estates, starring the illustrious Carol Burnett. Needless to say, there was a draconian flair about the cafeteria which sometimes made the entire dining experience -- from the process of securing one's seat to ingesting and digesting one's food a little bit terrifying. In fact, I'd like to start a research project to determine just how many of today's adult IBS sufferers were produced at Cole Elementary during Raisin Butt's reign. Once you sat down you stayed in your seat. Hot lunch kids weren't allowed to mingle with the bagged lunchers. Boys weren't allowed to mingle with girls. Or at least, boys were relegated to one side of the table and girls the other. Food was not to be shared or exchanged, although I witnessed many a pie given up under the table for the right corn dog. If a ruckus could not be pinned on the responsible party we all paid dearly -- well above our $1.00 lunch ticket price -- by observing a silent lunch hour. And if a ruckus COULD be pinned on the responsible party, well... one time I opened my Bee Gees lunch pail and a spider dashed out from beneath my cellophane-wrapped sandwich (my Mom the joker!) and, naturally, I was startled and screamed and was ordered to sit on the stage, facing my 200 or so dining companions, all of whom were so very...childish, and finish my lunch which, in the later years (minor footnote), always included a Capri Sun. This experiment in public humiliation made me cry a little bit but it also made me stronger. Now when I frequent a restaurant alone, and look up from my meal to catch a fellow patron's lingering gaze I scream, "What in the goddamn hell are you looking at?!" from my quiet little corner. Still, despite the challenges and unpleasantries of lunching at Cafe Le Bulldog, and despite the appeal or lack of appeal of the day's prix fixe menu, there was always a long line to get in. They did a stellar repeat business; I often saw the same faces ahead of or behind me in line, across from me or at the next table over. Some of their names I knew; others I did not. I had a lot of dining partners here over the years, none of whom I've retained as friends, colleagues, love interests or playmates. Mostly I just watched the minute hand tick on the clock mounted above the exit door. Which reminds me... Time for recess.

    Top notch teachers, coaches and principals. Staff really cares about their students. The campus has…read morebeen going through renovations and is only getting better. Parents are encouraged to stay involved in PTC and other volunteering activities. Children are supported by after school activities and academic interventions when needed.

    A small town Christian school with leadership and staff that loves Jesus! I'm down for that! I…read morehave 3 kids here, now about 7 years. As a long time yelper, i can honestly say, this place is pretty good. I mean does it have room for improvement, sure, what place does not but that's the beauty of growth. Teamwork makes the dreamwork!! Let's go warriors! Looking forward to another great year.

    Prior to putting my two kids in Clovis Christian school I homeschooled them. I put them here…read morebecause I thought it would be a safe place for them with biblical based standards. The principal, Mrs. Bonjorni is a bully and displays favoritism on how she treats some children. This can be verified by other parents. The children's tablets were not protected from access to inappropriate websites. A boy in my son's class told him about a website and then said don't look it up and out of curiosity he did anyway. I couldn't have been prepared that at a Christian school my son and all the 3rd graders in his class would have unsupervised access to adult websites and than the heartbreak and hard conversations I had to have with my 3rd grader. He was exposed to an inappropriate website at a Christian school with the schools tablets. During Friday freetime he was with a group of boys who also seen the website. One of the kids told his dad who told my son about it and they confirmed the name of the boy who had told him about the website, but parents were never notified of that. As a result some parents assumed his knowledge of the website came from home, which it did not. It was verified by a witness whose dad told the principal about the young boy who told my son about it. Soon after My daughter began to be mistreated by the principal with rude comments. The day before the last day of school Principal Mrs. Bonjorni yelled at my daughter for wearing jeans instead of swim clothes on water day. A teacher let me know about the situation so I went to the school to pick up my kids. I confronted Mrs Bonjorni and that very same day she fired the teacher out of pure evil and retaliation. There is no accountability here, especially since the owner of the school is the principal Mrs. Bonjorni. The port-a potty restrooms were unsanitary. The walls would be smeared with poo and very hot and at times had no toilet
