The parent who gave the 1 star review had to be taken to court to get her to pay her children’s tuition. The negative review is simply retaliation for this. She also kept her children at the school for the entire academic year. If she felt her children were not protected why would she keep them there? Also, her children have come back to visit & spent the whole day in that “horrible” teacher’s classroom. I guess he can’t be that bad.

Three of my children attended here, and we unfortunately encountered two horrible educators. The worst would yell profanities at the class when they struggled in testing, harass students with different world views, slam books on their desks, and tell them they should "go home, look in the mirror, and feel ashamed of themselves" when the ENTIRE class struggled in learning. The school principal Mrs P was made aware of his behavior, and did absolutely nothing. Shame on you, Countrywood, to fail in protecting your children.

I can not say enough how thankful I am that our family found Countrywood. While looking for a school that offered before and after school care, I started researching private schools in the area and came across Countrywood in Chino. It is an extremely small school (aprox. 36 students TOTAL this year). It goes from Pre-K all the way through 8th grade. You will have a hard time finding teachers or staff that care this much about each and every child there. The amount of one on one attention they receive is incredible. It really is like one big family. The parents are awesome too and so involved. Countrywood is NOT a big or fancy school at all... It's a very modest campus that is full of heart. They're obviously not in business to make millions.. they are there to offer a great education at an extremely reasonable cost. Let me put it this way, at one point I was spending close to $7,000 a year in before and after school care, along with summer day care for 1 child, and now at Countrywood I'm spending A LOT less. And the best part (for us) is that they are year-round. They are even open from 6a-6p when school is not in session at no additional charge.

Both of my children attended this school and received excellent educations. The teachers work with each student at their own levels. Both kids were well ahead of others when they entered into high school.

Countrywood is an excellent academic year-round private school. My daughters have been attending this school for 8 years and they are getting a fantastic education. The school is small so my girls have never been in a class larger than 12 students so I know they are getting the attention they need in the classroom. The whole staff is excellent and is a second family to us. The school is located near a busy street but the school is fenced with a sturdy fence and the kids are always supervised. The computers are older but very functional with educational software. The school lunches are always served with vegetables and milk. They provide great after school care and off-session activities, which is great for working parents. There is a lot of parent involvement in helping with school activities. This school provides an education that surpasses public schools at an affordable tuition rate. Take it from a parent who has children attending this school not from someone who visited the school once.

I previously attended Countrywood Elementary following my sister and brother. I am currently studying for my PhD at the University of Georgia, where I received a scholarship to attend. Countrywood was probably the biggest benefactor in my social adaptation and fast learning skills. While my experiences varied from peer to peer, I was always able to (and frequently engaged in) study far beyond my grade level, having entered into Damien (a prestigious high school) well past Algebra. The teachers were always so kind and interested in my growth. While the school was small and the resources appear meager, it is not the case. I always had access to the newest books and book fair was ALWAYS a wonderful time at the school. I recall science day being quite challenging. Absolutely visit the school and meet the teachers, you will be far from disappointed.
