Great school, great teachers! They teach Spanish and English. All students get along well and follow the rules correctly. They Also have the after school program, they play, do activities, sports and homework! They care for your child.

Do not send your student here unless they already know everything you would expect a school to teach them. The teachers and staff are overall unwelcoming and not interested in helping your child succeed.

Esperanza is a dual language school that focuses on bilingualism and biliteracy. This school is warm and welcoming and they genuinely care about students and families. The school has an incredible library with spanish and English books for students and families to check out. The librarian focuses on K-3 classrooms to provide guided library time. Art volunteers come to give art classes. There is also a technology, PE teacher and garden teacher. This school is a gem.

Now in its sixth year, Esperanza Elementary in Oakland is a dual-immersion program. Native English and Spanish speakers learn together in the same classroom. In K-2, literacy and math are taught in Spanish; science and social studies in English. In 3-5 it is the opposite. The school is located in a low-income area, with many of the associated challenges, but as a teacher there last year, I must say that it is a gem of a school with a smart, dedicated, hard-working staff and wonderful children.
