Great school! My daughter started Transitional Kindergarten here and the teachers have been excellent. They're very good at providing guidance and offering optional homework. The fact that the school only goes up to second grade is a huge plus, as it fosters a comfortable environment for kids as they are in the same age group.

This school creates an unsafe learning and living environment. Many children who attend here report multiple cases of bullying and harassment. Homophobia, racism, and bigotry, in general, run rampant in this school's social environment. Young LGBTQ+ members report feeling unsafe and uncomfortable here. My personal experience with my child learning here was anything but positive. My son was disrespected by teachers and staff, and refused to acknowledge his gender identity. When he reported his sexual assaulter, who attends the school, to the school officials they told him that unless he makes an aggressive action towards him they are unable to do anything. They also didn't accommodate my son with his disabilities even though he has a 504 and an IEP. When we tried to take him out of Newark Memorial and transfer him into an independent study program, they switched his classes to his required special education classes that he was not enrolled in previously and claimed they had been giving him the required accommodations the entire time. We stuck with our decision to transfer him and then on the day he was originally supposed to go back, a school riot broke out. Multiple children ended up in handcuffs and one was even arrested. I would not recommend anyone send their child here unless they want them to get hurt.

The current principal at this school is way better than the previous one. This school year there have been more family school nights, STEAM learnings, emotional support workshops to support kids growth and learning to help kids become resilient and good kids. My kids have enjoyed attending all the activities provided by the school. They also work with parents to help the child improve. Tutoring is also available to support kid’s learning.

Best School in bay area. This school truly stands out as one of the best educational institutions in the Bay Area due to its exceptional academic standards, dedicated teachers, and supportive learning environment.
