Great small community. Great parental support; strong PTA. Amazing after school programs. I truly appreciate having the Y for daily support. I love the enrichment classes: gardening, ceramics, music, and PE.

We have loved our first year here. The school is intimate, we know many by first name. There is a lot of teacher/student support, great communication via web site and emails, tons of parent involvement, a wonderful Principal and dedicated staff. We feel very lucky our student is here!

Love it, small size, nice community feel, has been good for my daughter. I wish it has more outdoor space, technology, and an occasional uninspired teacher.

We have two kids here. One moved from a Catholic school where she was until middle of third grade. The younger one is in K. We could not be happier. We have an amazing principal. He is an educator, energetic, committed, compassionate, and present. The community is great and has a strong PTA. The teachers are dedicated, experienced and very effective. The school has an unparalleled art program without losing focus on academics. My children are thriving and learning a LOT! Go Dragons!

Overall, New Traditions is comprised of a great community with highly involved families, along with an ambitious, goal oriented principal with a proven 8 years record of improving the school scores level to the top of SFUSD schools in the city.

We love our neighborhood school. We love the active parent community, high diversity of students, and the creative bright teachers and friendly principal. Our son had a great experience during his kindergarten and 1st grade years at New Traditions. The teachers were fully engaged.and catered to all of the kid's needs in their classroom. We look forward to the years to come at this up and coming school.

Principal was useless. Just absolutely no idea on how to successfully administer a school that should service and respond to a diverse, culturally-enriched student body.

We love this school! It's a warm, caring, compassionate learning environment. My child is thriving here. While this was not our first choice schools, we could not be happier.

New Traditions is a wonderful school. My child couldn't be happier going there and is learning so much. The school community staff and parents are warm and welcoming and dedicated to improving the school.

We love this little school! I have a 2nd grader and a kindergartener at this school and I have only seen the school improve over the years I have been there. The parent community is warm and inviting. The principal is a rock star (principal of the year!) - she keeps our test scores rising while maintaining the arts enrichment throughout the curriculum. The school is truly diverse by languages, ethnicity and family composition. I love that it is small and that we all know each other - it's like a small town school in the big city. My kids look forward to going to school every day and adore their teachers. We couldn't be happier.

I couldn't be happier with this school for our daughter! She started in kindergarten last year and is now a first grader and LOVES going to school every day. The school is small and really inclusive of everyone. She knows children in all grades and there is a real sense of community within the school - students, parents, teachers. There is significant parent involvement and the faculty and principal are really dedicated and involved in the school community. The best part is the arts focus! Every WEEK, my daughter has music, drama and art classes and there is a variety of after-school programs for a fee (Spanish, chess, drama, ceramics, piano). Fantastic school!
