We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Rosa Parks community. The dynamic Science, Dance, Arts, core curriculum, and after school programming are all top-notch. The school has a thriving Science lab and curriculum; my son has taken in after school enrichment: Art; Yoga; Toyology (making toys based on Science concepts); Soccer; Chess; Cooking. The physical layout of the school is charming and welcoming. It's a special place.

Berkeley has a lot of great elementary schools in my zone, they are all great but Rosa Parks really stands out. My son is now in 1st grade. The principal, teachers, staff and parent community bring together a really positive learning experience for my son. The campus which is very atypical for most school provides a great atmosphere. There is a lot of parent involvement including having parents come in to lead song sessions and Yoga demonstrating that it takes a community to help our children grow up strong. and for those of you who look closely at test scores. Rosa Parks had some of the highest increases within the state of California. I can't wait for my daughter who will be in Kindergarten at Rosa Parks next year.

My child is a Kindergartener at RP this year and we LOVE it. I have felt nothing but welcomed by the teachers, principal, and other parents. This school is the best kept secret in the Berkeley Public School System! (Oops ... Did I just let the cat out of the bag? Lucky for us ... we're in!) Your family will be happy to be a part of this community if you are picked in the lottery system. YAY Berkeley Public Schools! ~ A proud RP Parent and Berkeley Native

We are so lucky to be a part of the RP community. A 5? Really? Rosa Parks is sort of like an amazing vacation spot that hasn't been discovered yet. :) It will be soon ... and we get to be there. So fortunate. The teachers and administrators care about the children beyond their "standard testing". These kids get prepared socially and spiritually as well ... while developing conscious minds and caring personalities. Kudos to RP!
