"Great neighborhood. Convenient to the lake and public transportation. A few nice restaurants and coffee shops around. Neighbors are pretty friendly for the most part. There is sometimes a sketchy element to the area and I have found needles, trash, shoes, etc dumped outside my apartment windows and have witnessed 2 violent fights on the street in the past 5 years. So as lovely as it is here I’d suggest to just be aware and cautious of what’s going on around you. Don’t leave anything in your car. Don’t walk around at night. "

"Beautiful view, but a high-traffic area with very difficult parking. Proximity to Lake Merritt BART is great, and I generally feel safe walking after dark. "

Parent Rating Average
My child has been attending this school for three years. The principal, teachers, and staff are caring, welcoming, and easy to communicate with, and they consistently keep parents informed through ParentSquare. The school encourages family involvement and regularly invites parents to participate, which I really appreciate. The facilities are clean, and there is a strong sense of community and diversity.My child has participated in the after-school program each year, including the transition from Girls Inc. to Oakland Leaf, without any issues.My main concern is that the academic pace can feel slow. While the school provides great support for students who need extra help, students who learn quickly may spend a lot of time reviewing material they’ve already mastered.
