We moved to Oakland 3 years ago and this is the 3rd my daughter has been placed at due to bullying at the last 2 schools she was at. I did a little research and was told this school might be a better fit for my daughter and it was. Her teacher is great and her principal is excellent. They have a zero and I mean a zero tolerance for bullying. My daughter had one issue and it was nipped in the bud quickly by staff, including the principal. She’s very hands on and knows what’s going on at all times. My daughter is very happy to go to school every day and comes home happy. She has friends and she’s actually learning, unlike at the other OUSD schools I placed her in. I’m very pleased with this school.

Frick Middle School was once the school that every Parent wanted their child to be at, Since Mr. Criddle has left the school it has really went down, down, down. That's really sad, because I feel that the students of today are not learning anything, most of them are in school only half day and some cannot come to the school at all only for testing. Mr. Criddle once had his staff on point as well as the students and the parents, it was a family school now it just feels like a building with people in it, I think that the school district such model Frick after Mr. Criddle, meet with him to find out what worked for the students, parents, staff and administration of the school so that the children can return to receiving a better education.

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