I was quite nervous about the transition from elementary to middle school. What a great school for my kids. Committed teachers, unique clubs to get involved with, sports, interesting electives. I'm grateful for the top notch local schools.

Our experience with Moraga School District has been deeply problematic and concerning. Overall, the district’s leadership shows a lack of transparency, empathy, and compliance, creating an unsafe and inequitable environment for students and families. When you ask them to fix it they generally make it worse If your child has special needs, be aware that this district has repeatedly demonstrated that they avoid providing required services, violates timelines, and disregards state and federal special education laws. Families are often given the runaround rather than the support their children are entitled to. The district has demonstrated little awareness of genuinely understanding of special needs, ADA, 504 and IEPn only how to get out of it. If your child has special needs, this is probably not the district for you. The school does not provide a safe or responsive environment, when parents raise legitimate concerns or ask for corrections, the district often retaliates or makes matters worse instead of resolving issues. Superintendent Julie Parks and the Moraga School Board repeatedly failed to ensure accountability. Formal complaints have been routinely ignored, and when the district mishandles something, it is rarely corrected. Principal Tumulty @ Los Perales has been nonresponsive and dismissive, if she does respond her conduct toward families can feel derogatory rather than supportive. We have witnessed her fail to respond to parents and then pull students aside and cause an issue with them. When we asked her to make the school safe on various occasions, she failed to respond. It appears to us that staff does not care because when the parents are then forced to escalate or sue its not on any individual to be responsible. We love the neighborhood and are sad to feel forced out of this school due to failure to honor our rights, failire to provide services, failure to resolve complaints, and retaliation against our family for filing complaints

My children attended Miramonte High School for six years, one daughter graduated in 2020 during the beginning of the pandemic, and my other children completed up to their senior year on line. Miramonte has one of the best curriculums and plans that allow the students to earn a diploma equivalent to an associate degree in college, as well as a well rounded group of electives that enhances their social and educational skills. The sports program is TOP NOTCH! The faculty genuinely cares for the students and their success not only at the school, but life in general. I drove my children 21 miles one way to go to Miramonte as we lived out of district, but it was well worth the trip and extra effort to insure my children received a quality education and secure their future.
