I am a Realtor in Corona, Rancho and the surrounding areas you mentioned. My children go to catholic grade school ( k-8th) because I think that is the only way in my opinion they will be groomed to understand some modesty and reverence to God. Rancho has it's benefits such as a good reputation for public schools. Corona is pleasant neighboring city to overpriced Orange County . Chino Hills has it's very nice benefits as there are many neighborhoods wrapped around a few beautiful golf courses.
Please feel free to call or email me directly should you need an informative, patient area Realtor. :)

Riverside County better areas Corona, Norco, Gavilan Hills, parts of Lake Mathews, Temecula, Murietta, parts of Woodcrest and Orangecrest, parts of Eastvale (high winds, working towards cityhood) Avoid unincorporated areas of counties, cities provide better services. Avoid Rubidoux, Moreno Valley, Beaumont, Banning, Hemet, Menifee, Perris, LaSierra, Lake Elsinore and Sun City. Poly and King high schools are best in Riverside city district. Temecula and Corona/Norco schools very good, avoid Jurupa Valley schools. St. Catherine's parish in Riverside is largest and still has schools including Notre Dame HS. Public schools are overcrowded, lacking funds and some charge for bus service, approx $300 year with sibling discounts. Woodcrest Christian school very good. High tuition in private schools. Highly recommend a master planned community that has elementary school within walking distance.
San Bernardino better areas are Rancho Cucamonga, Alta Loma (fire danger) Chino,Chino Hills (fire danger), newer parts of Yucaipa ( fire danger), Redlands. Etiwanda has new homes but built in vicinity of high voltage power lines. Avoid Ontario, Rialto, Colton, Highland, Fontana, city of SB, any of the high desert communities. Major area freeways are 91, 10, 15, 215 and 210 all gridlocked nightmares during commuter times.
I would avoid LA county completely unless necessary. Diamond Bar, Claremont, Walnut and San Dimas are better communities. Candlelight Pavilion dinner theatre in Claremont is excellent! Any canyon or foothill community has higher risk for fire danger. Santa Ana wind season is Oct to Jan.
Very diverse population, high influx of illegal immigrants placing a strain on social services. Inland Empire has very high foreclosure rate with high crime, drug and gang issues. Smog and heat are prevelant during summer months but winters are mild and pleasant. Expensive place to live. Good proximity to major entertainment venues, shopping, restaurants, etc. About an hour from beach/mountains.
Would very much suggest you rent first and explore better communities based on family's needs. I would suggest Temecula, Chino Hills and Corona/Norco areas to start. Beware Mello-Roos supplemental tax in some master planned communities, your realtor can advise. Best wishes to you.

We've lived in Chino Hills for 13 years and love it. It is a younger city compared to the others. Lots of young families. Rolling hills, suburban, quiet, friendly, community oriented. In addition to lots of sports programs for kids, the schools have a fantastic music program. One high school band is ranked 14th in the nation, and other high school bands are well recognized throughout Southern California. There is a large Catholic church in the community, but they don't have a school. There are a number of good Christian schools in the area.
Rancho Cucamonga, Alta Loma, and Etiwanda are neighboring cities - all good communities. Alta Loma and Etiwanda have the better schools of the three. Located against the foothills, they get pretty windy (gusts 25-40 mph are pretty normal).
Something to note about Diamond Bar, Upland, and Claremont is that they are all in Los Angeles County, which means higher property taxes than San Bernardino County. Diamond Bar is a good community with excellent schools, although a bit more crowded than I like. Upland and Claremont are older communities, but have some really beautifully restored areas. Claremont probably has more retirees.
When moving here, consider traffic and your commute to work. 10 miles in other cities may take 10-15 minutes, but may take 20-45 minutes here depending on traffic and the route you take.
Good luck with your search.

Of the cities, you listed, I'd say the nicest are Chino Hills, Claremont, and maybe Rancho Cucamonga and Corona. Rancho and Corona are a bit more north than the others and kind of in the middle of nowhere so I wouldn't recommend them.
Claremont is a nice area with the private school Claremont Colleges in the area, and Chino hills is a good area as the previous poster said. La Verne is also a nice city close by Claremont. I'd say the cities above especially Diamond Bar are closer to LA and orange counties if you're thinking about where to work. Rancho Cucamonga, Alta Loma, Corona, and Etiwanda are further inland and probably hotter areas.
Cities I would stay away from because of some bad neighborhoods or just grasslands would be Pomona, many parts of Riverside, and many parts of San Bernardino County like Colton, Yucaipa, etc.
As far as Catholic Churches there are many in southern CA so it shouldn't be hard to find a parish if you look it up online.

We have lived in Chino Hills for 7 years now and out of all those citys listed its probably the nicest to raise a family. Clairmont&Chino are older citys(not sure if they have alot of the younger population)Rancho Cucamonga and upland both have alot of newer areas that are nice, but they are farther in the inland empire. Diamond bar seems nice but I do not know much about that area. You dont want to go too far into the inland empire as it gets uglier and has more crime. Chino Hills is a fairly new city and most areas of it are nice and there are alot of parks and open areas. The schools are good in most areas of CH and there are alot of young families and community sports teams. Look on the city web site at www.chino hills.org fpr more info.
Tell me about neighborhoods of Chino, Chino Hills, Rancho Cucamonga, Alta Loma, Etiwanda, and Corona
