My kid started Earhart in 2023, and it has been an amazing journey seeing how much she has grown into loving reading and building friendships. The teachers at Earhart are very dedicated to support these young minds in their learning journeys, teaching them the critical soft skills to be kind, to look out for their well being, and to be compassionate to one another. The parent community is always supportive. From big to small tasks or activities that need help, we always have more than enough parents willing to lend a hand. My kid loves her weekly Science class, Music, and Library time. She is fortunate to have her beloved Science and Library teacher for 2 years in a row, and we’re praying for this track to continue.This school will always hold a special place in our heart. For now, we’re enjoying every school year to come. To all the amazing teachers at Earhart, thank you for all you have done, and for all that you will continue to do!

"Great place to grow a family. Very good school, next to the ferry for easy commute to San Francisco. Open spaces, super safe. Easy parking and friendly community."

"Pros: lovely and plentiful lawns and paths to walk around. Most pet owners are cordial and friendly. Wide variety of dogs to make friends with. Houses are big enough for large dogs. Cons: in my opinion, there aren’t enough trash cans for waste disposal among the residences; the vast majority are on the major thoroughfares next to bus-stops. Also - there is the occasional pet owner who can get a bit squeamish around certain larger dog breeds, but this is seldom."

"I live and work here and I can say that the quiet neighborhood feel with it's trees, open space, walking and biking trails is a peaceful retreat I haven't found anyone else in the Bay Area. Throw in the fact that we're just a 25-30 minute ferry ride to downtown SF, it's a perfect location with low crime and awesome public schools."
