The three additional bedrooms boast large walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms, creating private havens for every member of the household. The finished basement, spanning ~2,500 of finished sq. ft., adds another dimension to this extraordinary home. Complete with a wet bar, a brick fireplace, four large rooms, a custom redwood wine cellar, a workshop space, two closets, a full bathroom, and ample storage, the basement offers versatility and endless possibilities.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is a nightmare if you're a brown student. You're constantly started at, whispered about, and treated like you don't belong. The subtle bullying is everywhere, but when we say something to any white kid even if it doesn't affect them we are reported and are told their too sensitive, and we get in trouble.Meanwhile, white students say and do mean things to each other it's considered as oh it's just friends joking. No one reports them or punishes them. But if we speak up or complain, suddenly we're the problem.They put up flags from every country and talk about diversity, but it's all for show. The school doesn't actually care about treating everyone fairly. If you want a place where students of color are respected and supported this isn't it.Student Review9mo ago - Wiesbrook Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI think this school is fine if you fit the status quo but not for kids that require an IEP or 504. Meetings were a joke. The principal sat and played on his phone and no one bothered to read or follow the 504. Now that my child is in a supportive school that aptly communicates I can look back at how absolutely terrible and traumatic Wiesbrook was for my kid. The school needs a total staff turnover with leaders that have people skills and maybe care about the kids. Teachers here bully and taunt kids and laugh when they cry. It’s gross and highly dysfunctional.Parent Review2y ago - Hubble Middle School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI would not at all recommend sending your children to this horrible school. The bullying is out of control and the school as well as the district allow for it to continue. Ask them how many kids have had to leave because they were bullied so severely and were even physically attacked at the school. And how nothing is being done about the problem. How this school has not had dozens of lawsuits filed I will never know. Please check the other reviews and do NOT send your children to Hubble. They truly in my opinion do not care about the safety nor the mental health of their students at all. They do have some great teachers who care but unfortunately their hands are tied and they can not do much to help. Please think twice about sending your kids here!Parent Review8mo ago
