My sister goes to this school, and she gets all as but a lot of the teachers are hit or miss. Either pretty lenient or guarding the A's like the garden of eden. The mental part of this school is fine for a public school, but the disabled kids get bullied behind their backs because they cant fight back, and there are a lot of wild things happening in Amador. The only time this school engages with parents is when the report card comes out or a major punishment is put on, like suspensions or expulsions. Overall 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Everyone at this school does a great job. The teachers work very hard to make sure each student is doing a great job and learning at their own level. Every staff member enjoys students and have positive relationships with them. I have never seen an administrator so involved.

Went here as a young child and it is by far the worst school I have ever attended. The counselors violated FERPA constantly while I attended and office staff never had a handle on anything. Steer clear of Reine Anderson! Fights constantly. Tons of transfer students that were expelled from their own districts: San Leandro, Fremont, Hayward, etc. I’d say your best bet in pleasanton is Hart Middle School. More than half of my teachers also seemed as if they hated their jobs and students and made favoritism obscenely apparent.

I would not recommend this preschool unless your child is high on the spectrum. It has a high iron fence built around the entrance/play area with two gates in order to gain entry giving it a fortress and very un-preschool like feel. This is for safety purposes, but it sends a message that this is a place for children who have some serious challenges. Also, it is not an inclusive program, so the preschoolers are not exposed to typically developing students on a daily basis. Research has shown that children who are high functioning autistic or developmentally delayed tend to improve ata greater pace by having role modeling from their typically developing peers.Some teachers appear melancholy a lot of the time, perhaps due to lack of resources, burn out, or a combination of both -- but it's hard to know why. However, I would have to say the aides there really try to make it as great as possible given its atmosphere and are very upbeat and kind to the parents. If you have the resources, consider a private school such as the School of the Imagination in Dublin instead.
