Sadly, I cannot recommend Maya Lin. Our daughter is supported as an artist but is woefully unprepared to read, write, learn math or participate in project-based education. We are paying hundreds of dollars out of pocket every month for tutoring in the basic subjects neglected by this arts-integrated
Posted by a parent on 3/13/2025We have had two children come through Maya Lin School over the last 7 years. The arts-integrated curriculum is an incredibly clever and intuitive way to include neuro-atypical learners in the educational process. One of our children has a learning disability and his learning style is being supported
Posted by a parent on 12/12/2021My daughter is going into first grade and my son is going into kindergarten at Maya Lin. We have had a stellar experience with the school thus far and quite frankly are a bit surprised that it doesn't have a higher rating. While I can't speak to test scores yet, I can speak to the dedication, drive
Posted by a parent on 7/30/2017It's a private school education at a local public school. Alameda has great school options, but this is what sets Maya Lin School apart from other schools.

Posted by a parent on 7/22/2015Maya Lin is a great school for many reasons, starting with an experienced principal and dedicated teachers.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter is in Kindergarten at AoA, and her class teacher, class helper, and Spanish class teacher are proactive, communicative and really care about the children in their class. The parent community is friendly, and the recently revived PTSA is run by some fantastic parents who are well organised. So happy to have found AoA. The other families I know who have children in both the elementary and middle school here love it.Parent Review1mo ago - Nea Community Learning Center

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kids are enjoying NEA and are thriving both academically and emotionally. Their teachers are energetic, knowledgeable, and highly engaged. While the NEA campus isn’t architecturally impressive, it avoids the typical institutional indoor feel and offers a more welcoming environment. NEA also hosts many family events that help parents and kids build a strong sense of community. Overall, it’s been an excellent elementary school experience so far.Parent Review4mo ago
