They completely ignored the signs of abuse I was enduring at home despite being mandated reporters. There was literally a day were one of the very incompetent school counselors brought in a cop who threatened to arrest me because I was experiencing suicidal thoughts and self harming tendencies, which also traumatized me into not being able to ask for/seek professional help. I constantly had to endure bullying because of my gender identity and despite being harrassed and physically assaulted, I was blamed for verbally defending myself. Even the principal at the time was absolutely incompetent, I was one second late to my class because I had dropped my pencil case and suddenly the vice principal drags me out of class to get yelled at with a bunch of other students for being tardy, this ended up making have a full meltdown. Yelling at someone, ESPECIALLY a child who is dealing with domestic abuse at home and has autism was so smart (obviously sarcasm). On top of all of that they gave me detention for being ONE second late. -100/10 I will never be sending my children here.

    Kipp Summit Academy is an amazing school! My son was lucky enough to have been selected in their…read morelottery process for fifth grade. We tried getting my daughter into this school for the past four years without any luck. This is our son's first year there and he loves it so much. I read the other reviewers on yelp and I am shocked at their comments. I'm pretty sure that if you are unable to afford healthy snacks, and inform your child's teacher and school personnel, they will definitely be happy to accommodate. Advising students to bring healthy snacks has encouraged my son to read food labels and selecting healthier food. He loves learning about healthier choices and even encouraged me to eat healthier. Regarding parent involvement, studies show that children are more successful when parents are involved in the school--volunteer work. The fee for volunteer hours is there to encourage parents to participate and be active. Again, as accommodating as the principal and teachers have been for my family, I am pretty confident that they are understanding and will work with each family individually to help meet their needs. My son has a speech impediment and receives speech therapy ever since he was 3 years old. Transferring to Kipp Summit, we wanted to continue speech therapy. His speech therapist is Melodi F. She is an angel and very professional. Of all these years, the doctors and other speech pathologists (he has has four--kaiser, private, and school) and no one noticed that my son was challenged with hypo-nasality. However, during several weeks with Melodi, she texted me and called me to share her concerns and asked that I bring my son to see a specialist, which I did immediately. Turns out he also had sleep apnea, severe allergies in addition to his hypo-basaltic. Three surgeries were recommended--all of which we agreed to. My son has just gotten the surgeries about a week ago. The specialist stated that my son will sleep better, have more energy, be more alert, and his speech is highly likely going to improve as well! This is amazing and I'm so grateful that Melodi did her job so well and caught this for my son. Thank you so much, Melodi! Ms. Bun is my son's teacher. She is young, full of energy, and has a heart for teaching. I love the fact that my son trusts her so much! Teachers here provide parents and students with their work cell. Students can text or call from early in the morning until late evening. Ms. Bun has build such a rapport with my son that once he found out his surgery date, he contacted her via telephone at around 7am to inform her! I didn't even know about it until he advised me that I need not to inform her because he already did. He also disclosed to me that Ms. Bun comforted him and helped decrease his anxiety about the surgery hi sharing her experience of getting the same type of surgery in the past. Here the most touching part of the story, which made me want to cry. After he received the surgery at Kaiser Oakland and he was calm and alert again, he asked me to drive him to the school so he can see Ms. Bun and tell her that he was fine. I took him to the school, but she was teaching a lesson, plus he didn't have enough energy to walk to the class. I texted her instead to inform her about the surgery. She was happy everything went well. Also, my son doesn't like reading so much, but she has helped him find the love of reading by helping him find books that are interesting to him. His writing and reading has improved. He also likes Mr. Ng, his math teacher, very much. His math has also improved.

    You make the best of your high school experience. Arroyo is known to be the dry high school in the…read moredistinct, but education is the key here. You have a variety of teachers and unfortunately at arroyo they are either great, outstanding professors or horrible new ones. Advise to all incoming freshmen and concerned families don't let the academies get to you. They are useless in college and yes they are a great help, but all you can gain are connections to great people. Academies are a great way to specify a career goal, but come on at 14? Do they know what they want probably not. Save that big decision for college and to be quite honest the academies are just a lazy system to keep students clustered and assigned to certain teachers to make it easier for scheduling purposes. Tad bit. Now to the teachers. As a recent graduate I recommended these teachers. As I have said you only get the outstanding or the complete newbies. Get these teachers before they retire! MR. IRONSIDE : One of the most genuine mathematicians on campus. He cares so much for you as a student and was one hell of a geometry teacher. MS. OSTRANDER : Take her class. Her teaching is outstanding and she is an amazing English teacher. You will fall in love with her class and her appreciated for the English subject. MR. VINCI AND MR. GUARINO : These two seriously are twins (not looks wise, but they are pretty much always together) Very different teaching style, but their love for the English language is great. Can I say these two will have you crackin. Now these are some of the great, sophisticated teachers on campus. There are plenty let me reassure you, but I haven't had the pleasure to experience all the great talents on campus due to academies. I'm academies you are pretty much assigned to a certain group of teachers. So I can only speak for the H&M academy! So to say. These classes I do not recommend. Sadly to say but these courses are just not worth your time. AP PSYCHOLOGY: This is a brand new course. And so to speak the teacher wasn't great and yes, it may be the first year teaching it. But you can't change teachers skills in a classroom. Don't blame the subject, blame the teacher for teaching the subject in a non passionate or effective way. With my experience with teachers and classes you can just tell. AP CALCULUS : My god was this a hard course! Ms. Mountain is a great teacher and don't let her size fool you this is a tough course. If you are not that strong in math do not take this course if you don't have too!! If you guys think I hate this course cos of my bad grade I did not I received a B. ANY ACADEMY CLASS : Save yourself some time they're not worth it at all on college and you don't need them. Haha they are seriously useless. Enjoy your time in high school. Make the best of it and be opened minded. As a recent graduate this is my take and what I received at Arroyo. Classes (cleanliness/student ratio) : 3/5 Teachers : Varies Spirit : 2/5 Athletics : 2/5 [Check your sports team ranking, but overall Arroyo isn't known for their outstanding sports program] Experience : 3/5

To be clear - I don't believe there are any perfect schools. As with any community of this size, there are many differing opinions, backgrounds, and goals. Constant conversation and compromise are needed. It is for this reason that I give St. Felicitas five stars. We have had many changes and challenges over the past ten years, and in our experience the staff here is wonderfully open to feedback and conversation, which have ultimately resulted in decisions that best benefit the school community as a whole. As with all families, we have experienced a few personal tragedies over the years, including loss of family members. I truly believe that the environment at this school helped my children to face these difficult times feeling supported and safe, and helped them to heal with a trusted community. Members of our staff have also experienced very difficult family losses recently. It was incredible to see how the school came together to support these teachers, through prayer, meal planning, and bringing their families together with our community to help them heal together. St. Felicitas provides a good balance of religion and academics. Students regular attend masses and prayer services, and perform community service, such as helping to host "Young at Heart" for the older members of our parish. In middle school, students are required to perform a minimum amount of community service as part of the curriculum. Parents are also expected to volunteer a certain amount of hours during the school year, which I believe is a benefit. Through this we have formed some amazing friendships with other parents as well as the staff, and as a result truly feel that our voice is heard. As with anything in life, you get back what you put in. This is a community that believes strongly in giving back. My older child is now a freshman at St. Joseph Notre Dame in Alameda. In her first week, she was moved up from Freshman to Sophomore math as she had already mastered algebra while at St. Felicitas. SJND is an academically rigorous school. Thanks to the education she received at St. Felicitas, my child is finishing up her freshman year with a 4.2 GPA. Four of her fellow graduates also moved on to SJND. In the first semester of their freshman year, all five were recognized with "high honors", which requires a GPA greater than 3.5. St. Felicitas is not a 'fancy private school'. It is a tight-knit Catholic community of very hard-working families. If you are looking for a school where your child will learn academically, develop spiritually, learn the value of hard work, and be well prepared to move on to high school, this is the choice for you.

Some students weren't following the school rules and tends to talk the way out so that they can skip class. In my opinion, I made friends with some students that are very cool with and all, but I don't like the yonder pouch policy because I seen one video about it and the parents weren't happy about it. I strongly agree Danny Rayes for telling everyone about the policy. Like what if they needed they're to call they're parents when it's an emergency? Here's 3 things I like/don't like about this school: 1: I like how Ms Allen, Ms Perez, Ms A are very very nice to me, when I come into class, sometimes I say "Hi" or "Hello". 2: I don't like how Coach Perez doesn't care if the students are injured, because she think the students making excuses to not do the things that she tells them to do and gives the students a 0 for that reason. 3: I kinda like Ms Qasami, she often gives me snacks if I want some.

During the interview, the principal from the HS said she loves Saint Leander and all the kids that come from Saint Leander.
