I have two kids at Coleman right now and absoluetly love it. It's a wonderful little neightborhood school with an amazing PTO and sense of community. Don't be dissuaded by scoring on this website. The reality is that there are a lot of English Second Language kids who struggle to keep up at times and that can ultimately be reflected in scores. That said, this school provides an enriching learning environment that challenges everyone as well as resources to help everyone with their individual learning needs.

We live down the street from this school, and my two kids love it there. The building (more like a mini campus) is new with gorgeous yellow classrooms surrounding the library and playground. The teachers are supportive and the principal is right on top of things. Parent involvement is extremely high and keeps everyone involved. Neighborhood is beautiful here.

As the parent of three kids who attend this school, I can personally attest that it has a fabulous teaching staff and the parental participation is incredible. The school is very ethnically diverse which gives students a real taste of real life. Most of the schools in this area (Marin county) lack this aspect and thus lack many life lessons, such as tolerance, learned as a result. It is a small school with an incredibly big heart.
