7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son graduated from Oakland Tech in 2021. They prepared him for college and is doing well. He was part of the Race, Policy, and Law academy and had excellent teachers. My son had an IEP and his services were excellent. I'm disappointed in the review by the parent complaining about "labor strife." Very consistent with my experience with many of the families there. Truthfully, they were very rude and entitled. We support the teachers 100%.Parent Review10mo ago - Piedmont Avenue Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOverall our experience at this school has been good and we are just wrapping up 3rd grade in the school. The teachers in the lower grades are fantastic. Our daughter is a focused and interested student so we have had no problems. I do worry that children who are less so, might not get the extra support they need.Parent Review4y ago - Westlake Middle School

- Jeremyj82

"nice neighborhood. Poor on street parking options, gentrification galore makes it not as cool as it used to be. Big property management companies moving out long term residents making it SF East."
- Laura H.

"The 19th Street BART station is a 20-minute walk from my place, and from there it's just a 15-minute ride into the city. Lots of trains pass through this station, so you don't need to bother checking the schedule—you can just show up."

"The residential streets have a mix of single-family homes and apartment buildings, including a lot of really grand apartment buildings from the early 20th century. From here, it's a quick walk down to Lake Merritt for a run, and to the shops and restaurants on Grand and Lakeshore. This area has come up a lot in the last few years, and from here it's also an easy walk to Uptown, downtown, and Piedmont Ave. So there's plenty to do. "
- Laura H.

"It's a lovely residential neighborhood near the lake. It's also near Grand Ave and Lakeshore Ave, which have great restaurants."
- Mo H.
- Resident

"It's mostly houses and apartments and is undergoing a slow gentrification process. It's perched on a hill, so there are some lake views. There are no shops in Adams Point itself—you need to go down to the lake."
- Bob S.
- Resident
- 5y ago
"The sense of community is terrific. Lake Merritt is nearby, plus lots of great food. It's a great location. The dragon boat races on Lake Merritt are not to be missed—lots of colorful handmade canoes compete against each other."
- Bob S.
- Resident
- 5y ago
"The lake is safe to visit during the day, and Fairyland is a great kid-friendly place to visit. It's an amusement park for small children. Lots of puppet shows, interesting buildings to explore, and areas for kids to be kids."
- Lisa T.
- Resident
- 5y ago
"Oakland's public schools are spotty. Look into where your kid would be placed and find out how the school is. The park at Lake Merritt is lovely, but is also overrun with Canada geese, which poop prodigiously. I wouldn't let my toddler roam around here for that reason. But Children's Fairyland in the park is a real Bay Area treasure—it's a simple little amusement park for young kids, and they say that it inspired Walt Disney to create Disneyland!"
- Mo H.
- Resident
- 5y ago
"No schools nearby. The last one was decommissioned. There is a Montessori."
- Nzfreeman 4. c.
- Resident

"nice area, terrible parking. lots of restaurants, trendy, close to Bart, wish there were more families but oh well."
