I agree with the last parent to write about Lilienthal. This school is in an extremely desirable/safe part of S.F.. I wanted my child to go there for that reason, as did the other parents I came to know at Claire. Safety is a priority in S.F.. Claire was in transition the whole enrollment of my child-7
... Read more years. Going through 3/4 principals. I feel there are teachers that really care and give their best, I felt overall there were more that did not. Sadly. Hooray for the parent involvement, they are welcomed,needed, and be prepared to give! Unfortunately, some teachers fought against music class, and we had no art classes. No AP classes in middle school. FYI: gifted students are not given more challenging work, than the other students, the 'Honors' that show on report cards, is there if they have good grades from regular curriculum. More high school/college prep is really needed here. Read less

I read the review posted most recently and I am assuming it is not written by a parent as it suggests. or, it is written by an enthusiastic parent, one who appreciates their child attending a school that is safe, clean; where children are generally respected and parents are able to participate in making

By contrast, there are no AP offerings at the school as one would find at a significantly larger school, such as A.P. Giannini or Presidio, where students who have achieved a level of excellence can prepare for matriculation in a better high school in the SFUSD system. That is simply not the case with Claire Lilienthal. Read less

Claire Lilienthal s high test scores get better each year. The teachers are magnificent and motivate the children to learn and explore through hands-on activities. Parent involvement is strong and enhances opportunities for the children and supports the teachers in daily projects. Claire Lilienthal ranks

The school offers strong academics, a wonderful art curriculum, over-qualified yet passionate teachers, a language immersion program, a variety of sports for grades K-8, AP middle school classes, a safe environment and diversity. I'm glad I pressed to get my children into CLS. It was worth every ounce of stress. Good luck future parents! Read less

I will be entering 7th grade in the fall, and I have to say, my curriculum has been mediocre. I am a certified GATE student and I have gone to Center for Talented Youth summer camp for the past two years. The elementary school is pretty good. Most teachers are nice and enthusiastic. Once you reach
... Read more middle school, though, it gets worse. I was not challenged at all. There is no GATE program, although supposedly there is. I spent most of my 'oh-so-fun' days of 6th grade doodling and staring at the wall. The middle school teachers are ok for mediocre to low scoring students, but teachers are supposed to recognize the needs of every student. Despite these problems, there has always been a sense of community at school. If you are planning to send your kid to a rigorous high school, I would suggest outside help, such as tutors. Read less

Goling primarily by test scores and location, I set my heart on Claire Lilienthal, and after many false starts, finally got both of my kids in. Sadly, however, I find the greatest advantage of this school is the involved parents, rather than any inspired teaching or great curriculum. Probably like most

She is very happy socially (the teachers do an excellent job fostering a healthy, friendly climate); she is learning great history and reading up a storm.

The afterschool program (free for elementary ages) is another jewel in the school's crown, and Ms Hadley's middle school athletic program is superb. Read less
