Not just academically but a lot of extracurricular activities for students to get involved Dance, Theater, award winning music programs, competitive sports. the counseling team is amazing. They are there for the students. Always available to help and guide. The Principal, Dr. Ahern is constantly on campus and keeps us parents on the loop on what is happening at the school. He does monthly coffees and parents are always welcome, our ideas and input are heard. Parents have plenty of opportunities to volunteer, something we never got a change with middle school. The school is on top of bulling and any issues that arise, i am sure there are drugs like any other High School, it depends on the parents being aware and involved with their children. The school wants students to succeed. During Covid the school and the school district have been on top of testing and safety protocols. Parents and students are involved and opinions matter. Glad the students had the option to go back to school, i wish it was done sooner. Lastly, it is locate on the beautiful foothills of Mt Diablo! And it is a beautiful campus!

Lydiksen Elementary School Home of the Lancers…read more The location is nestled in a beautiful neighborhood with towering trees that make you feel like you're on an adventure. The school's front lawn, planters and school garden are nicely manicured. It's a good inviting place for students and their family. My daughter was in TK (transitional kindergarten) with Mrs. Foley and TA Mrs. Kaelin. These wonderful women have gotten my daughter off to the right start. The TK class is gated off since it's the first building closest to the office and is split with a kinder class. It's near the school garden and front entrance and it's really convenient, trust me. The curriculum is awesome too! They learn lots with choice time, fundamentals, numbers/letters and cooking Friday just to name a few. The school community is inviting and welcoming. What better thing to have than moms and dads working together for their family's education. My daughter will be starting kindergarten soon and I'm confident and secure that Lydiksen Elementary has prepared her and will continue to help her grow as a student and person. Mr. Berg is the principal and good with the kids. There isn't a day my daughter doesn't say hi to him and he always returns the hello with a smile! It literally makes my daughter's day and makes her feel important and like she matters, thank you Mr. Berg! Thanks for reading!!

Had a frustrating experience during after-school pickup. My husband and I were waiting in the…read moredrive-up lane to pick up our son from chess. I was in front of a crosswalk with multiple parked cars ahead of me, so there was nowhere to go. A lady pulls up behind me, upset, demanding I move so she can get her child from daycare. Even if I could move, where was she going with cars parked in front of me? Then the car behind her starts telling me to go park somewhere else, to leave and that I need to be nice? Then she runs to the office. What? Next thing I know, Lor (I believe) from the office comes out yelling at me instead of actually looking at the situation. I told her to ask the cars in front of me to scoot up, so then maybe I can move...moved maybe 20 feet if that hahaha, accomplishing nothing since those cars were still in front of me. Meanwhile, the lady who demanded I moved (and no one else to move) causing all this drama got her karma and ended up hitting the divider as she drove away. The whole situation was ridiculous. Instead of handling it fairly, Lor sided with entitled parents who think the rules don't apply to them. Also office stop asking if I have moved. If I did, I would have informed you.

It's been a long road to Danville but a well worn path by many other families in our situation…read more That road beginning in downtown San Francisco and that path refers to: 1. A couple dating 2. With no children 3. Who get married 4. Have kids 5. Send them to pre-school 6. and Now what? And also....some of those path items may not have happened in that exact order if you know what I'm saying......you know what I'm saying right? Oh wait - This is Danville. You really don't know what I'm saying because everything here is perfect and goes according to planned. Please know I'm not trying to be sarcastic - everything in Danville is in fact PERFECT. Case in point Greenbrook Elementary School. It's no secret that the Danville public school system is absolutely phenomenal when compared to almost the entire State of California. In addition the two high schools are ranked nationally by US News and World Report each year. Of course the price of admission to this educational wonderland is your left kidney, your child's first born, and a bottle filled with unicorn tears. But after the unicorn tears are handed over your child is ushered into an incredible learning experience. I distinctly remember my first report card from Kindergarten. I was sufficient in skills like cutting with scissors and not eating glue. This was the standard I was held to 38 some odd years ago. My son comes home with science experiments for kindergarten homework. He has to read a new book each week and then write his understanding of the material. I fear that next month I'm going to have to put him in time out for building a crystal meth lab in the play room rather than just forgetting to flush the toilet. Is it safe to give children this much knowledge so early? The folks at Greenbrook Elementary certainly think so, I just worry I won't be able to help out once he hits the third grade. I'll be looking at his advanced algebra textbook while I nervously lick a sticky substance off my fingers hoping nobody notices I'm on the paste again. Just to let my son know that his parents are still in charge of this house before he takes over the world my wife and I joined him at the Greenbrook PTA Bingo fund raiser night. We got there about 5 minutes before the Bingo was about to start and the place was packed, probably about 200 maybe 300 people there. We found a couple of seats still open near a garbage can and grabbed our bingo cards just in time for the first game. The game progressed slowly but quietly I was picking up steam until there it was .... N42. Almost involuntarily I shot up out of my seat holding my card and scream "BINGO!". The other parents looked at me with their jealous bingo eyes, my son started to cry because he does not like to lose at anything, and my wife was furious because she was only one square away from Bingo Glory. So when I responded to these hateful stares with...."And that's how you play BINGO people!" well....in that moment I realized Danville needs a guy from an under performing school district in New Jersey to talk a little trash from time to time. It would be almost statistically impossible for our family to win again on Bingo night given the amount of people in the room but guess what? Two games later my wife nails it, bursts out of her seat with a hearty cry of "Bingo Baby!" My son began to sob as he lost again and we are handed our second gift card of the night. I gave my wife a high five and started to imagine our free evening on the town that would include frozen yogurt and a movie. We leave the multi-purpose room triumphant in our victory because we know our son is going to retire to his room and begin working on an algorithm that unlocks the secrets of bingo forever. They may be 6 years old at Greenbrook Elementary but don't turn your backs on them for a second parents or you'll find yourself asking these munchkins to unlock your ipad so you can go on yelp before bedtime.
