My kid has made great friends and comes home happy everyday. Teachers are really nice. The DLI program has been an incredible experience for our child's world view. Never had any issues with bullying or worried about my kid's safety. The Great! Schools.org ratings don't do this school justice.

My child has been here for two years now and I haven't had any problem with the school. The staff including the principal are very approachable.

This is my child's second year at this school. At first, I was very skeptical enrolling my son in this school but I'm glad I did. He started TK last year and the teacher was exceptional. The principal is very approachable and caring. And the free after-school program, who can beat that?

I just moved here from Fremont School District. I was very concerned that my child would get inferior education because of the low score. So far, I couldn't have been more pleased. Her teacher is warm hearted but keeps firm discipline in class. The grounds are clean, the class room was large and beautifully organized, and her homework (yes, even in Kindergarten) looked professionally crafted. Plus, free on campus after school child care program? What?? Best kept secret in Newark. As for the low score, I say give it time. All great schools started not so great at one point. It takes time and strong leadership to make it happen not to mention communities that care. On my end, I'm impressed with what I see so far.

My son has the best first grade teacher. I am happy with the communication with the teacher and I. It shows she cares and wants my child to achieve his very best potential in his academics.

This school is the best, bar none! Students are treated with respect and teachers care about education. These kids are prepared for the next levels of education and are offered extra help whenever needed.
