GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
We've been happy with our kid's experience at Madera. No school is perfect, but this one has a lot of great things going for it.1. The teachers we've had have been wonderful and caring. My kid has learned a lot and enjoys showing up for class every day.2. The community funds a lot of enrichment programs, like gardening class, music class, field trips, and special assemblies - along with classroom supplies and extra reading support.3. Principal Ranch genuinely cares about the school, teachers, and students. I was surprised/impressed at how much he cares about getting students' opinions on things that impact their experience there.4. I see a lot of family involvement - there are so many parents in the community who help out with substitute teaching when needed, spend time in the classroom, and also help outside of the classroom (for things like school cleanup projects).5. There's a great after school program that's conveniently on campus, and there are several enrichment programs offered throughout the year (chess, art, science, improv, sports, you name it).

"Easy. A brisk 10 min walk from home to the Bart station and then 33 min into the city. Walking route feels save and is flat for the most part. Only a slight uphill."

"People walk their dogs and people rarely hold dog owners accountable for cleaning up after their dogs; so if you’re a lazy dog owner who doesn’t care about other people’s space you’re in luck. "

"While we are new to this neighborhood, we’ve enjoyed getting to know our neighbors in a relatively short period of time. It’s a mix of older couples who were once the “new families” and have been here for 30+ years, and us new families just arriving. Love the safe, homey feel. "
