Once she arrived, she unlocked all of the doors so that we could begin our assigned duties. While preparing the work area, we noticed that various school materials had been left on the carpet. When we asked Mrs. Berg why the items had not been removed, she stated that the parents had not moved them and told us not to worry about it. We proceeded to apply the floor stripper as part of our work. After the stripper had already been applied, Mrs. Berg returned and instructed us to remove the materials from the carpet. We explained that we could not safely do so because the floor stripper made the floor extremely slippery, creating a safety hazard. We continued working to prevent the stripper from drying, as allowing it to dry could damage the floor and create additional problems. Mrs. Berg then instructed us to stop working so she could speak with us. We informed her that we could not stop at that point because the floor required continuous attention to avoid damage. She became upset and requested to speak with a supervisor. At that time, Jose contacted our supervisor, Ellen, by phone and handed the phone to Mrs. Berg. During the conversation, Mrs. Berg dropped Jose's phone into the water. Jose informed her that she had damaged his cell phone. A short time later, Ellen called back. Mrs. Berg forcefully grabbed Jose's phone and ran into the office while speaking on it. Approximately five minutes later, she returned the phone to Jose. Following this incident, Jose instructed the crew to stop work and begin packing up the equipment. Mrs. Berg then stated that she was going to call Immigration and claimed that her husband was a police officer. She proceeded to call the police and falsely alleged that Jose had assaulted her. Jose immediately stepped outside the premises and waited for the police to arrive. Mrs. Berg stated that the school had security cameras. If Jose had actually assaulted her, the camera footage would have confirmed her allegation, and he likely would have been arrested. However, no such arrest occurred because the allegation was false and unsupported by the evidence. This shows the erragance Mrs. Berg then stated that she was going to call Immigration and claimed that her husband was a police officer. This report accurately reflects the events witnessed by the crew during the incident.

The school staff office, teachers and Principal Mr. Ramirez, has welcomed my family with open arms. I love this school!! We enrolled our daughter to K, and she has bloomed very quickly. She's speaking up more and giving new ideas. I'm very impressed. Yes, the school hasn't opened yet, but that hasn't stopped the school from teaching. I would LOVE to give this school a highest score for all their hard work and keeping the parents up to date. Thank you St. George for everything.

The school breathes it's faith with service projects like Double Bag Lunch, the Winter Shelter, blanket/shoe drives to name a few. The school offers many extra classes to expand the students horizons and also provide support for those who are falling behind. The extracurricular activities aren't limited to sports. They have many academic and service focused clubs and also have an amazing drama program that puts on musicals twice a year. Father Rich and Mrs Marquez are extremely dedicated and their commitment to the schools mission statement is unwavering. My family was welcomed with open arms from the beginning and have grown to consider the HNM parish and school family as my own. Many families come from 10+ miles away to be a part of this wonderful community. The school could improve in a few areas mainly in incorporating modern day conveniences that help working parents balance their responsibilities (online payments, more consistent communication and fundraising credit for SCRIP overage purchases). The school should also consider doubling up on some of its classes to lower the student:teacher ratio as it begins it's expected renovation/expansion project.

No school is without flaw, but it's nothing that you wouldn't find at any school. My daughter loves her school and church community.

Hello Reader! If you…read morelike you are able to read my original review of this school, I submitted the review on 05/03/2019. Just 4 days later my whole life fell apart. However, I would not know this until many days later because I was in a coma fighting for my life. I woke up at Pomona Valley Hospital on 05/15/19 and I had no idea what had happened. As I became more conscious I learned I was driving my Son home from school; when a young man under the influence of alcohol and drugs crashed into me. My amazing Son Julian was killed instantly and I was badly hurt and unconscious. Virtually everyone who saw me at the hospital told me they were sure I would not make it. My Femur, Tibia, Fibula, Calcaneus, Sternum, Ribs 5-7, Mandible, and Nose were broken. Both my lungs collapsed, I had 2 strokes, and got pneumonia while at the hospital. The day of the accident my wife Jessica called Pastor Lincoln. He immediately started a prayer chain, and had Church/School Officials go to Pomona Valley Hospital to console Jessica and see my condition. They brought water and snacks for my family and prayed for us. I was told Mrs. Lee held my hand and prayed for me for about an hour. My Son Julian's Teacher Mr. Pate came and gave condolences and valuable advice to my Wife. A lot of people from Calvary (most we didn't know or didn't know well) came to the hospital to give support and prayers. It was immensely remarkable. It was my first lesson in TRUE GENUINE CHRISTIANITY. Pastor Lincoln helped my wife with Julian's funeral arrangements and planning. School was actually cancelled the day of Julian's funeral which was held at Calvary Church. I have a lot more to say and many others to thank. However, it is hard to concentrate fully and put everything to words. I'll make it simple, deciding to have Julian attend school at Calvary was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I have met some of the most spiritually beautiful people I have ever encountered. I really believe with all my heart the only reason I am alive, is because of the prayer chain Pastor Lincoln started. Seriously, Calvary Baptist School and Church is absolutely amazing and Godly to the max. Thank you for all you have done for my family and myself.

Since we started school right out of Covid, we were very understanding with teacher absence, changing howework and study policies, screen time, and remote learning. Over time, we noticed that both student attrition and teacher turnover is very, very high. We have gone through 2 principals, 1 music teacher, and 3 DLI teachers have come and gone. The school uses Class Dojo for teacher-parent communication. DLI: Kinder, First, and Third grade have excellent teachers. DLI is not offered for TK. Not all DLI teachers are native Spanish speakers. The model is supposed to be 50% English, 50% Spanish, but is closer to 80/20 when you factor in that PE, music, and art and garden time is conducted in English. Parents have asked for more Spanish books in the library which was granted with some resistance. Parents have asked for Spanish book clubs or after-school learning in a fun environment to promote Spanish speaking, as of this review neither have been implemented. In-class screen time is a little high in my opinion, almost all reading and testing is performed on an iPad. Starting the morning with screen time is not ideal, but I also understand the teachers must made do with the tools they are given. The school curriculum is not very rigorous. I have two high performers, yet much of learning takes place at home. Music and track are offered starting 4th grade. Robotics was offered for the first time during Spring '25 for 3rd grade and above.Because the DLI cohorts stay in the same group as they go from grade to grade, we have gotten to know the other students and their families very well. Tutoring in math and Spanish is very limited and not available for all students whose parents want them to improve. From a school culture perspective, the environment is extremely welcoming. We have used on campus therapy/counseling services offered, and the same counselor did not return the following year (we only used it 2 school yrs). PreK: State funded and on-campus. Has it's own enclosed playground and pickup/dropoff gate. Children have 2 in-class restrooms. Amazing group of teachers! Mrs Madisenne and her team are top notch, extremely patience and kind, and they host MONTHLY parent-student activities and 2 singing performances (winter and spring). PreK was our favorite time at MTV. PFA: IG handle is mountainviewPFA There is so much drama. The same officers cycle through different positions from year to year. The officers are not open to new ideas, do not follow their own Bylaws and Principal Hawkins does not enforce them. If you are an actively involved parent, please plan accordingly. The same events and fundraisers take place year after year: -APEX run -Popcorn/cookie/cheesecake sales -Trunk or Treat -Christmas Boutique-huge effort with little return -Read-A-Thon -Kona Ice - every Friday after school when the weather is warm -Various local "family dine out" nights scattered throughout the year -Dances and Movie Nights have not been consistent over the years Overall I give the school a C- It's saving grace is the sense of community. The decision to leave MTV was made after careful consideration and deliberation, especially since we made very strong friendships. We were not given an exit interview.
