During this pandemic I couldn't have asked for a better school to be at. Ms Eagles and Ms Wolfe…read moresupported staff and students as much as they could've. They worked really hard to address questions or concerns. I am truly grateful for all of staff and students this year. I still can't believe I was able to pull through the 2020-2021 school year. I made it through the last last of school. I am also thankful for all the help I got from the other teachers. Yesterday I didn't know how to do something. I saw Mr. Sutton who helped me finish it all up. I had a very good experience with the staff especially during distance learning/teaching. The office staff is also great! I am grateful to be with such an awesome group.

The worst part is their temper and behavior, many teachers from Creekside are not good, they gives us a lot of homework which thats a lot of stress for us. So yea thats it....

Mission Hills School is definitely a hidden gem for private schools. We have two daughters going…read moreto the school and they definitely seem to be ahead of their peers of similar age. Not only do they emphasize academic progress, they also balance the curriculum out with fun, play, music, foreign language (Spanish) and teach to make sure the students become well rounded citizens of the Earth. The student body is already very well diversified! The school is very well organized under the school principal Ms. Kaya. Staff of whom we have interacted with are extremely nice and responsive to any concerns. Tuition is one of the most reasonable you can find in the whole Bay Area, the value each student get is tremendous! The tuition even includes extended care which in already pays for itself! Especially for busy family with both full time working parents. Public schools usually ends around 2:30, but your tuition includes extended care until 6:00! I think my husband and I are both in awe, every month, on how little we are paying for a "private school" education. In fact the tuition is very similar to our local public schools after school program, and that program was suppose to already run by a registered non profit organization! Our family is extremely grateful that we have found this school. And grateful for all the teachers and staff our children have had so far. Big shout out to Ms. Mary (which my children talk about everyday, even if they have already moved on from her class), Ms Divine, and Ms. Contreras. Special thanks to all the administrative staff: Ms. Maria, Ms. Hernandez, Mr. Hawkins, Ms. Mary-Ann and countless others! I am surprised that not more people know about this hidden gem! Maybe the parents of students going to the school wants it to stay that way! The way we found out about this school was a referral by our friend. I heard that the Union City campus is already at full capacity every grade and is baffled why the CV campus is not yet. But don't take my word for it! Contact the school and take a tour yourself. You don't know what your kids are missing!

MHS in Castro Valley is a small private school that opened in 2015 and is the second campus of MHMS…read morein Union City. This school started with 22 students and has grown to over 100. I am beyond pleased with the teachers and administrators at this campus as they help students build a strong foundation in vital subjects and enforce proper classroom rules to aid behavioral issues. This staff here is first-class and always goes above and beyond. Never had I had a question go unanswered.

All I can say is the staff are immature and have been caught throwing parties and providing…read moreprofanity to TEENS, you school is really dirty, the technology is incredibly behind, the kids are incredibly behind making it hard for teamwork to even be imagined, the teachers are overworked because of the fact they're underpaid, and we just barely got a little diversity in our curriculum thanks to the teachers efforts. The school itself operates quite literally like a business which is so pathetic considering you're being funded by the people. If you wanna gamble your education and wellbeing I recommend CVHS!

I attended a JV baseball game here. It was absolutely terrible behavior by the Trojan baseball…read morecoaches and umpire: one of the Trojan players intentionally shoved a visiting player, and the umpire blamed the visiting team and kicked out the visiting player victim. Trojan parents were screaming at high schoolers, running up and getting in their face, as well as cursing at small children; however, Trojan security blamed the visitors for mischief and kept surveilling them as if they were the source of the trouble When only Trojan players and parents were the ones acting aggressive. Moreover, the umpire claimed to "not see" any bad behavior by the home team and frequently called in the home team's favor: strikes were flagged as "balls" and obvious tag-outs were called "safe". Out of dozens of baseball games I have attended at many schools, this school had the most corrupt and poor display of leadership with their coaches, umpire, and security. No integrity with their staff whatsoever. I feel sorry for the kids at CVHS who are learning from these sad, sorry examples of adults.

I can honestly say I have nothing but the best things to say about this amazing school I unfortunately had my mother passed away at a very young age in 2008 when I was five years old and this school recognized date and helped me grow as a student and a person the amazing staff I can't even talk enough about at independent. They were nothing but exceptional and making sure I was always OK both my brother and I and making sure we were at our best mental headspace. I learned to just become a very independent well-rounded person and I can't think independent enough for that if I could name names I'm not sure if they still work there, but Miss Pietro in many others, such as Miss Guito and more changed my whole well-being, an aspect on life, even though I was very young, they helped me mature and understand life when I was in the dark I felt as if they really understood my learning methods and my learning skills and made sure that I took special reading classes and much more to get me to where I needed to be considering my struggles. I can't think independent enough for everything they ever did for me and my family so when you're thinking of a school in cash Valley to send your kids, this would be the first place that I check forget all the other ratings. They were parents not students. That's all I have to say.

this school is bad I can say because i was a student. They don't have nice staff expect the teachersread more

I had my kid attends the high school this year because of the reputation. But we have big…read moredisappointment. First they don't allow students to choose their science courses in 9 th grade , instead they require them to take in sequence ( physics, chemistry biology). Then the main science course teachers especially AP Physics and Chemistry honor don't know how to teach. Those teachers don't know how to help students to apply their knowledge and concepts to solve problems, and assign homework on regular basis to help students to reinforce what they learn. My kid and the entire class struggle and stress on these subjects. The administration staff don't care. Students have to watch YouTube to learn it themselves. What is the point of paying high tuition for the teachers can't teach and kids have to look for resources from YouTube themselves!! My kid also mentioned that most of the students in the class cheat but the teachers don't know because too busy in texting or they just don't care. I am thinking to pull my kid out of this school next school year. I don't recommend this school at all . Don't waste your hard earned money !

This school has a strong focus on academics and the high school received the Blue Ribbon award of…read moreexcellence for 2016. They also offer various sports programs. After visiting other private schools, there are attributes that set this school apart. For example, the school provides electives that will get your child ahead of the current industry such as coding, 3D printing, etc. The school staff is very friendly and will answer any and all questions you may have. I would send several emails a day before registering my son with questions and received a response in most cases immediately or within an hour after sending. My son shadowed for two days and immediately wanted to enroll. The teachers are very attentive and partners with parents to ensure your child is successful. Every student is issued their own Chromebook and many of the lessons taught in the classroom is taught using the laptop. The school has a focus on technology and uses apps that shows grades and upcoming calendars to help students and parents manage assignments and exams. This is a school that I would consider thinking ahead of the curve and innovative which is needed as there is a lot of competition for jobs in the Bay Area. I believe this school will provide my child a foundation for success. The school provides college planning counselors that will meet with your child individually. The campus is a newer building which also made my decision to enroll my child even easier. If you are looking for a school for your child 6th-12th grade, you should consider Crosspoint Academy. The school has an Open House this Saturday, 2/4/17 from 10am to 2pm. It will be worth your time to visit.

Seriously...Redwood has a yelp? I am a2008 graduate and…read morealthough when I was forced into this HS my only goal was to get the grades required to go back to the main HS (CVHS) but after my 1st year I knew this school was different and therefore right for me . At CVHS the teachers (more than one and on numerouse occasions) had said "do your homework or not I get paid all the same" the teachers at Redwood are STILL paying their student loans and are further commited to excellence than any school in this state. My best friend started her first year teaching at this school during my first year attendance and I feel we 'learned the ropes' together. Although most students were 'challenging' having their social/personal lives conflicting with academics, I honestly do NOT think half my graduating class would have even made it to that day if it were not for the debunking of the rumors that coexisted with this school by the teachers I had the oppertunity of knowing. Yeah this all sounds wierd even now being 2013, five years after graduation, but if I could go back to when I was at the 'main high school' I would STILL choose Redwood. Also if Hoffman and Schooley are still teaching...they are bitchin. (positive sense) Also, I havn't been around campus in a few years so if they are no longer a bunch of portables on a parking lot good for them!

I would not recommend that any child attend this school…read more This school is unsafe and dangerous for children, as there is no punishment for bullying. We are new to this area, and my 7th grader was assaulted in the bathroom during PE by a student much larger than him. My son reported it to the counselors and principal and they did nothing. He was afraid to return to school because they would not suspend or expel the student who attacked him. In the end, we had to homeschool our child for the rest of the school year. When we mentioned not bringing our child back to school, the principal (Seana Condit) was only concerned about him missing state testing. She has zero concern for the safety of children at this school. The student who assaulted my son is still on campus.
