While childcare can be stressful, I always trusted the Vista family. They did everything they could to safely stay open during Covid. I hate seeing the rating so low from some folks that had a very limited or one-time experience. My kiddos were well prepared for Kinder and thrived, especially socially, at Vista. If you're in it for the long haul, Vista is so great. I'm glad my babies made core memories and lifelong friends there.

This elementary school is a very good place for your student to attend. They are right next door to…read morethe boys and girls club, which makes it easy to get an after-school program. The Principal and administration are well involved and genuinely care for all children. When we were involved in a car accident recently and didn't have a rental car yet, the Principal offered to come get my child so that she didn't miss any school-- either he or the Nurse would have come-- now that's going above and beyond to ensure that your child's education is met! These people will work well with any parent, so if your student goes here, or any school, talk to the staff and see if they can help. My daughter has experienced being bullied-- this school doesn't tolerate this at all. They have proactive anti-bullying campaigns and handle all situations right away. They participate in PowerSchool which tells me everything daily from missing assignments to attendance, and up to date grades. The teachers email weekly and communicate back and forth with me whenever we may need to communicate. Currently, Ms. Nelson, 3rd grade is my daughter's teacher. Being a single dad of 4 children (1 college, 2 high-school, and one elementary) I appreciate the teacher communicating with me via email and working with me on my child's education and overall concern for her well-being. Ms. Nelson has been a great person to work with this year. Thank you Meridian Elementary for showing myself and my child unconditional caring and support. YOU ROCK!

Bullying at this school has become an issue and not addressed. Each child is seen as profit so…read moretherefore if one child is bullying they will allow the child to stay and persist in bullying rather than remove the bully from the school. Being a private school you expect more, because each child is so profitable from the monthly income they bring into the school, they will keep a bully vs removing them. Both of my children were bullied, the principal would tell me it will be talked about every time I came for help to protect my child. The bullying continued, so bad my children had to be forced to go to school to not get behind as they felt they endured mental abuse. The rate at which students are leaving this school for another school is high. The principal allows the best students to leave by not addressing the problem students. Every student causing problems can stay and persist in problems rather than being removed permanently as the parents talk in groups about how everyone pulls from the school because the principal is allowing the problem students to maintain bullying. My son now has to be removed from the school because he is crying himself to sleep. the child harassing him has been allowed to do so the entire year no change only empty promises. If your child is harassed, you'll be forced to leave because the harasser will never be asked to leave. Shameful

I am genuinely heartbroken that I have to write a review like this, but families deserve to know…read moreour experience. We were excited about The Ambrose School. During our tour, they expressed how much they loved our child, how well she would fit, and even told us there was an open spot. All we needed to do was complete the application. We did exactly that. The application asked detailed questions about our specific Christian faith and the church we attend. Within a week of submitting it, we received a cold, impersonal email informing us that our application was being terminated and our fee refunded. No explanation. No conversation. No willingness to clarify anything. Just a closed door. When I reached out and respectfully asked for the reason behind their sudden reversal, we received complete silence. Not even the courtesy of a reply. Based on the timing and the nature of the questions they focused on, it is hard to see this as anything other than religious discrimination. What makes this even more painful is that our child previously attended a nearly identical "Classical Christian" school in another state--with the same curriculum, same values, same books, same structure--and thrived as a straight-A student. She was everything they say they want in a student. Explaining to her why Ambrose had suddenly changed their mind was absolutely heartbreaking. Their academics appear strong, and I am sure many students receive an excellent education. But our experience revealed something far more concerning: a lack of transparency, compassion, and Christlike behavior. The way we were treated was dismissive, exclusionary, and completely out of line with the values they claim to uphold. Families deserve honesty and respect. Sadly, we experienced neither.
