We have a 2nd grader and a Kindergartener attending Edison. As a parent, I have had a positive experience with the staff, the teachers, and the principal who genuinely cares about the students and the families. I cant speak for the Special Ed classes, but so far my kids teachers have been wonderful. The kids are building solid friendships and I have seen proactive measures taken when it comes to poor behavior or bullying. Families are very much involved as well.

The teachers and some of the staff are awful. One of the P.E. teachers had recently called multiple African-American students the "hard r." Some of the teachers pick obvious favorites and only give them good grades, while leaving the rest to suffer. Me and many of the students who I know that have attended Lincoln have had at least multiple teachers they absolutely despised. The principal and vice principals all use guilty by association, even if you just so happened to spare the slightest glance at ANY incident. They also pressure students to get in trouble when they have done no wrong doing by threating them with messages to parents or harsher punishment than the actual perpetrators. There were multiple previous classes I have attended there that left me with no new understanding of the subject that was being taught, and actually worsened my understanding of it. The students are also awful as they have no respect for anyone except for themselves. The staff I actually liked and were extremely nice to the students are some of the hall monitors and the custodial staff. I've had maybe around four teachers I actually liked while the rest were bad to utterly awful/

Bay Area School of Enterprise (BASE) is a great school. Its mostly youth ran which gives students that go there a chance to make the school go the way they want it to go. Going to BASE I've experienced planning community projects for the school including a Relationship Conference and a College Fair. BASE has great dedicated teachers and small class sizes that make learning seem more attractive.
