An Amazing Christian School!…read more Our kids have been attending The Rock Academy for the past three years, and we couldn't be more grateful for the experience. It truly is an amazing Christian school where students are not only receiving an excellent education, but are also encouraged to grow in their faith, character, and relationship with God. The teachers and staff genuinely care about their students and go above and beyond to create a loving, supportive, and Christ-centered environment. We have seen our children grow academically, personally, and spiritually during their time at The Rock Academy. What we love most is that the school feels like a community--a place where faith, education, and strong values come together. We are so thankful for all the teachers, staff, and families who have made these past three years so special for our children. We feel truly blessed to be part of The Rock Academy family and highly recommend this school to any family looking for a Christ-centered education.

This school doesn't just focus on the high importance of academics, but also its moats our children's faith as a believer in Christ. Their mission statement is to develop and encourage Do Something Christians, Dynamic Communicators, and Deep Thinkers, and I've seen it accomplished in those who have graduated. I believe they also have a very high college acceptance rate of over 96%! Lord willing, I hope all three of our children graduate from this amazing school and their top notch programs! Thank you Rock Academy!

This school, KUMEYAAY ELEMENTARY, in Tierrasanta, IS the WORSE ever…read more I've lived in San Diego for almost 20 years: never seen anything like this piece of work! What a pity, when we moved to beautiful Tierrasanta (which we LOVE), my family got stuck with this excuse for a learning establishment. BTW: my children attended elementary school in Clairemont, and it was a 'shining star' of a school, compared to Kumeyaay. They have hundreds of rules, OMG ( ! ) I don't have alot of time to go into details (there are many more) but the primary two are: #1. RAISE MONEY $$$, constantly! Yep, this large school, in (above San Diego-average) wealthy Tierrasanta, Thier motto seems to be: COME UP WITH NEW (and IMPLEMENT immediately) WAYS TO RAISE MONEY. Constantly. Weekly. ...including asking young school children to call parents with 'cute' messages of, basically, please HELP US with money.... so a new (MONEY-raising) EVENT, every week or so, is par for the course, and still another message (along with a thick RULES book) to the students: "NO HAVING FUN!" (unless you mean FUNd-Raising). Ha Ha. Ahhhh Arggg! (I can't help but start humming, if not singing, the P. Floyd standard, "Another Brick in the Wall," whenever I have to go on their campus :) #2. AND, especially, "NO HAVING FUN around HOLIDAYS" Here's the jist: unlike before-praised, Clairemont (and most other elementary schools), they don't do holidays, here. Well, barely! Two examples (a) Halloween (no Carnival, nothing), they let the kids "parade around" in NON'scary" costumes/NO MASKS" and "no costume shoes" early first thing in the morn, only, and then take EVERYthing off -- before school started. NO carnival, Nothing. (b) Christmas (oops: "winter season- days-before that 25th thing/deal): Nothing. Unlike Clairemont school, who had a dance/play/etc., before un-nameable holiday, I did not see an flyer, receive any communque (my son had nothing to report from the first 2 weeks of Dec...no activity; no event, NOTHING. "Celebrating ANYthing (oh whoops: except if MORE $$ is involved --- please see # 1,above) ist Verboten at Kumeyaay Elementary !!" P.s. I wrote the above review, late last December, after that, y'know, one-day holiday-thingie, but now that I've posted it, let the fun begin. Let the Coyotes howl: P.s.s: "Ah, the truth, what a thing it is! I sacrifice so much for it, with people: I forego, for truth's sake, discretion, tact, polite manners, elegance, grace, poise, balance, good taste, conformity, image-role, fashionableness, hypocrisy, and lots of other things--amass sacrifice, at truth's altar. God! is truth worth it? I hope it is. It better be,.." -MARVIN COHEN

If we didn't have to move she would still be going here. The only thing that I didn't like was how small the school is and the parking but besides that it's wonderful elementary school. The teachers are really involved in the care of each and all their students. I also love that they had an afterschool program and a huge fair every year. We are planning on moving back closer just for this school and fair. My daughter loved her teacher "Mrs. Repaire" in the year of 2024 kindergarten English class. Thank God we never met the former teacher which we heard in 2023 was a nightmare, "Mr. Kruel" his name says it all and we heard he got fired also for being mean to the the kindergartners.

Our family had a deeply troubling experience at John Adams Elementary School during the 2023-2024…read moreschool year, specifically with my son's kindergarten teacher, Mr. Kuehl. From the very first weeks of school in August and September 2023, my son began expressing distress about his classroom environment. He often told me that his teacher yelled at him and his classmates. I tried speaking with Mr. Kuehl on many occasions, but he was often irritable and dismissive. I once arranged to quietly observe my son's class; the teacher appeared visibly upset that I was present, stating that my presence "messes up the classroom dynamic." The principal, Ms. Decy Piña, later insisted that I volunteer at lunchtime instead, rather than in the classroom. My son also reported telling Mr. Kuehl about another student hitting him, only to be told, "I don't care." The most upsetting incident occurred when my son came home crying, saying that Mr. Kuehl grabbed his lunch pail from his desk, threw it on the floor, and then yelled at him to pick it up. He described feeling both sad and scared. I contacted the principal immediately after this incident, and my son was excused from multiple days of school until a meeting could be arranged with both the teacher and the principal. At that meeting, Mr. Kuehl denied all the allegations. The environment was tense, and I found his demeanor to be defensive and hostile, further reinforcing my concerns about his ability to regulate his emotions around young children. Principal Piña sat through the meeting emotionless. This was my son's first year of kindergarten -- it should have been a positive learning experience, but instead, it was a nightmare. Not only were we navigating our first year of school, but I was also seven months pregnant, dealing with the stress the school brought on. We ultimately decided to transfer my son to another school because Mr. Kuehl was the only English teacher. If we stayed, he would have been placed back in his classroom or moved into a dual-language class, which was not the right fit for him. A few parents privately expressed concerns about this teacher to me, sharing that they knew of students who had been moved out of his class. After we left, another parent reached out to tell me that her son, still in that classroom, was experiencing the same, if not worse, treatment. I never received an apology. I contacted the district, but they simply forwarded my complaint back to Ms. Piña, who never followed up with me. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this school without significant changes to staff training, communication, and accountability. Young children deserve a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment, unfortunately, that was not what we experienced here.

I started my own business and have done well for 40+ years. As to the fact that it is an "all boys school" that simply meant, less distractions.

Discipline, morals, ethics and fantastic Three R's. very worth a look. Take a tour and you will be pleasantly satisfied.

I wish i could rate this 0 stars!…read more I had the WORST time here! I joined in 9th grade a couple of years ago and the bullying started only 3 minutes in. I got called slurs on a daily bases multiple times a day by many different kids. I was bullied so relentlessly that i couldn't even make it past November Break my 10th grade year and that was after wanting to leave the school 2 weeks into my 9th grade year. I had one friend who watched someone come up to me and say that i should go to bible study group so that they can "fix my problem" referring to the fact that I'm gay and then that friend brought me to that bible study group where they tried and failed to convert me. After this I only had two or three friends out of the whole school who didn't betray me the rest of my time there There were many other worse things that happened at this school that I will get into during therapy but not a yelp review I HIGHLY suggest that if your child is not a football playing asshole then DO NOT send them here ESPECIALLY if they are queer or different in anyway cause they will picked on until they can't take it anymore! Leaving this school was the best decision I've ever made for myself, my mental health, and all over well being as a person. The teachers I had were the only good part of this school and I will stand by that till I die. I highly suggest rethinking this school if its on your list to check out!

It's clear that students are not just taught academically, but also guided to grow socially and emotionally.
