Heritage has been an amazing school for my daughter. Everyone has been so friendly, welcoming, and kind to her. The education she is receiving has been wonderful, and I'm truly grateful that I chose Heritage for her to attend. I absolutely love the staft and appreciate the new superintendent and all they are doing for the school. I also believe that any parent fees can easily be managed by contributing some parent volunteer hours. Overall, I couldn't be happier with Heritage. I love this school and am so thankful for the positive experience it has provided for my daughter and our family. read more

Will Definitely NOT be recommending. To start the only way your child will ever get any attention from the teachers, staff or receive an award or recognition is ONLY if you make hefty donations through the year or are part of their PSG CLICK, which is a joke. They make all parents buy uniforms and require students to have uniforms on all year yet all staff and mainly PSG staff come to school without uniform and skimpy shorts and outfits. They talk about Christian guidance, yet their teachers have visible tattoos for elementary school children to see. The ONLY people in charge at Heritage are PSG staff, and the parent participation hours PSG they decide how much time they give you and if you meet their quota. It doesn't matter how much you participate they decide to milk you and still make you pay the $300 parent hours fee at the end of the year, well that is if you are not on PSG team or a hefty donator. PSG meetings are a joke they are never on time, just eating on camera and they don't even make an effort to give their zoom meeting ID to parents, it's very unorganized and unprofessional. If your child is from the PSG they are guaranteed to succeed and made feel special, if you don't donate your child is on his/her own. Teachers won't even acknowledge your child if they are not from one of those donating families or PSG families. My experience was awful and my child's worst, my child was ignored all year and fell behind and was borderline all year, the teacher never showed care or compassion and didn't care about child growth or progress. Very DISSAPOINTED AND WILL NEVER RECOMMEND. read more

Save your money or keep researching actual Christian schools that care?! The employee turn over is unbelievable! The staff talks about parents to other parents (witnessed this personally). The Principal is awful! Their safety awareness is non-existent! I have witnessed the gate propped open on several occasions which is INSANE considering their location and the current environment we live in today?! There is a few teachers that are AWESOME like Mrs. Reyes and Mr. Whitmeyer. I decided to write this hoping to save other parents from enrolling then reflecting over the years only to feel like as a parent I made the wrong choice?! There has to be better private schools in Bakersfield, Ca.? Best wishes read more

Save your money. My child attended Readyland, and I was not impressed. I went ahead and tried Heritage hoping for better - it's just an extension of the poor quality of care and service. If your child tells you something and you attempt to talk to staff or the principal, they just blow you off, and you become the enemy. I find it hard to trust these people with my child. I have had several problems and my child has had several complaints. I do not recommend this school at all. read more

I do not recommend Heritage Christian school at all. Save your money. The principal Mr Hopper does not want to do his job. He single handedly decides if students are allowed to go to the school. It is suppose to be Christian school. The school only wants students that are perfect. The students where school is easy and no behaviors. Students can have minor behaviors they may still be asked to leave. The principal will be the reason Heritage goes bankrupt. Heritage is just as bad with employees. One employee was married and got pregnant with her third child and she was laid off to spend more time with her family, that is what the school told her. Another student dropped and weeks later during summer received a phone call to not return. I told the principal it was not appropriate to ask the student not to return weeks after he dropped and already decided to not return. read more

I sent my child their and I absolutely hate the principal. He told me stuff that was not true and when I tried to talk to him all he did was talk in circles. Plus the amount of work that the middle school teachers assigned is outrageous! It's not worth the money or time. You have to pay a book fee but you don't get to keep the books. Don't make the same mistake I did and send your children there! Plus the amount of missing work kids have is just ridiculous. read more

I've had all four of my children at Heritage and I can say there is no other place where my kids are more loved. The teachers and staff pray over these kids daily and work tirelessly to ensure the best education. Heritage was a safe haven for my family right out of COVID. We have truly gained a second family from being here. Totally recommend! read more

Heritage Academy and Readyland Preschool is an amazing school. Teachers are committed to providing the best Christian education. I have 2 students that are attending the preschool, they have been loved on and encouraged to do their best. I love how the staff is dedicated in providing a safe environment and show how much they care about all students. read more

I have two children attending Heritage Christian Schools. The staff are attentive to my children's needs, providing a safe and loving environment where they have grown, both academically and spiritually. They receive a wonderful education in a Christian setting. Mr. Hopper, and all of the staff, strive for excellence, where each student is recognized as an individual, with individual needs and strengths. read more

I had children attending Readyland and Heritage for 20 years. Readyland is fantastic, but Heritage is not the school it used to be 20 years ago. I no longer recommend this school to anyone. The administration does not know how to run the school and decisions do not make sense. My son told me, "please don't let my brothers go there for Jr High, I was behind when I started high school because of Heritage Jr High." It's unfortunate because it used to be a wonderful school. read more

Not very good. I would definitely not recommend to others overall I would definitely stick with a school like saint francis or homeschool

Have been attending school K till 4th grade. Staff is always helpful and ready to answer any question no matter how silly it my seem. Very comforting to know my child is cared for and all want the best education for her. Never Amy problems read more

I was at a lost finding a great school for my son to attend. We live in area with an awful public school and there was no way he was going to it. Then I stumbled across Heritage Christian School. It was affordable and after going multiple times to talk to the office and teacher I knew this was the right place for us. The curriculum is what drew me in; my son is learning so much, and I knew he would after meeting with his teacher. She was very informative from the beginning. What will keep us at this school long term is the community. This is a dream school to me. There are always activities and happenings going on. It really keeps my son excited about going to school. He was a very shy kid and I wondered if he would have trouble making friends. But they have created such a warm environment my son loves all of his classmates. I can not stop saying this schools praises! I highly recommend this school. read more
