I've taught at a number of schools, and I think Madison has a lot of strengths that is not accurately reflected in the GreatSchools score. Madison has a full service school that provides afterschool programs, counselors for restorative justice, family outreach, and health services. The culture of the school is something visitors always talk about. Students feel safe here, and teachers continuously engage in professional development to push the quality of their instruction.

I'm a alumni here I recently graduated from Life Academy/ Life Academy is an excellent school the teacher really care about their student and their after school program really help keep the student out of trouble. This school might be different from other high school in Oakland because this high school focus on health and bio-science which will lead your son or daughter to explore the medical field. The Principle and staff work really hard to keep the school a safe and learning environment.

Teachers sometimes grade you by behavior making your grade go down by a lot. They give too much homework not allowing students to have a life out of school. In conclusion this school is depressing.

No taxpayer and government-funded public district school should have to mandate school uniforms.

I liked this school because i had good grades and i liked how that school worked hard for me too graduate.
