This is a great school. Among all of the high schools in California (even private schools) both of…read morePleasanton's public high schools (Amador and Foothill) rank in the top percent. There's a lot to be said about that! I also recall that when I graduated (less than 10 years ago) the percent of students who opted NOT to go to college was as low as 10%. Although I graduated from Foothill, I did attend Amador as well. Both schools were excellent but if I had a choice I would have stayed at AVHS. I found that the school's population was a lot more diverse here. Kids were coming from different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds (as diverse as they get in P-town) and by comparison my classmates at Foothill were mostly all from gated the communities and stucco palaces that line Foothill road. We can all admit that any child who grows up in Pleasanton is fortunate but I would suggest that if you went to Amador vs. Foothill - you might grow up a little more well-rounded and ready for the real world. Foothill was a great school academically (they're on par with each other in that dept) but it was just not as diverse as Amador.

REVIEW for the Amador Theater, not high school…read more Last night, I saw Dan Alon (Israeli fencer and survivor of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre) speak at the Amador Theater. What a nice theater! Clean restrooms, well-maintained and overall pretty nice. I'm a fan...yep. 4 stars.

She is always smiling, laughing & most importantly, singing to her students! No joke, Ms. Walters, sings to them to; line up, clean up, straighten up, quiet down etc.... the kids respond quickly & as if they were all under hypnosis. She is a fantastic teacher and we really appreciate her.

My son started in Kindergarden here and is now going into the 5th grade. It saddens me this will be…read morehis last year here. The Principal, Mr. Kufaul has the best character. For preschool and pre-k my son attended a private school. I never thought a public school could beat a private school out on every category you could think of. The teachers actually care about the progress of each student. My son has learned so much attending this school. Also my son had a speech impediment and a speech therapist met with my son throughout the years and he no longer needs speech therapy. A+++

We are very grateful for the warm, supportive experience our 5 and half year old had transitioning…read morefrom Kindergarten to 1st grade. Ms. Srikanth and Ms. Sheth went above and beyond to ensure she was academically and emotionally prepared for this important milestone. Their patience, encouragement, and individualized attention helped build our daughter's confidence and readiness for first grade. We truly appreciated their dedication, clear communication, and genuine care for her growth and success. Thank you, Ms. Srikanth and Ms. Sheth, for making this transition such a positive experience for our family. We highly recommend them to any parents looking for caring and committed educators.

We joined our kid at Stratford for preschool, and this year he graduated from kindergarten and is…read moreentering first grade at Stratford. Our experience with Stratford has been wonderful. The staff are wonderful, including the front desk staff member, Ms. Nandhini, who always greets the kids with a beautiful smile and helps with any questions or concerns. Not to mention the school director, Ms. Amina Saiyed, who has been a wonderful support since the beginning. She has lots of patience and is very considerate of the child's needs and accommodating of the requirements for the growth of the child in a better way. I have personally seen her talking to kids in the corridor, taking walks with them, and trying to understand their behavior and teaching them to take perspective rather than just disciplining them. Ms. Amina is very nurturing, and her experience in the field of education certainly plays a role. Lastly, Ms. Srikanth and Ms. Sheth -- I have no words to explain what a wonderful combo they are, and I couldn't ask for more. Their combo is simply the best. They played a major role in my kid's growth during kindergarten. Ms. Srikanth sets the right boundaries for the kids and, at the same time, is very playful, making it a fun learning experience for the kids. Ms. Sheth, with her calming and friendly nature, keeps the classroom a nurturing and happy place for the kids. I am not sure what magic they do in the classroom, but I can clearly see the positive changes in my kid. He is more motivated, happier, becoming more punctual (which is honestly a surprise to me), and inspired in such a wonderful way. A few times, I have heard him say, "Ms. Srikanth / Ms. Sheth won't be happy if I do this." When a child says something like that, it truly shows the amount of respect, admiration, and connection he has with his teachers. He absolutely adores them. If I had the chance, I would choose Ms. Srikanth and Ms. Sheth for all his grades without a second thought, because with teachers like them, I feel completely confident and reassured about my child's growth and learning journey.

For the most part, this is a good school district within a wealthy community where the funding is…read moregood and the parent participation is wonderful. However, if your child suffers from bullying, the motto, 'Kids Come First', is quite the opposite. Where the the bully comes first is actually more like it. Administration becomes robotic and uncaring. If you threaten to pull your child, they run around promising the world (so as not to loose the $5000+ per year they get for your student) only to disappoint and ultimately make your child suffer by doing nothing to solve the problem if you decide to keep your child in their school. Same old problem, no solutions, intensely inflexible, robotic administration. Time for an alternate solution that's best for my kid. Because my KID comes first to me.
