Our Lady Of Grace School

I would give less stars, but I love my sons teachers thus far. The school is pretty run down. If you're looking for a school that puts on cute shows for the holidays, this is not the school for you. If you're looking for a school that has a lot of fun things going on to keep the parents/students connected with the school/staff, this is not the school for you. My son's teachers have been great and he's in 1st grade now (only 2 years of teachers so far). The Principal is a huge issue for me. I feel like my son is treated more like a number than a child. The Principal talks down to me, is condescending, and doesn't address any concerns I have. The teachers and front desk employees are really the best part.

Amazing, strong principal, professional staff, caring teachers. Highly recommend for a warm, caring and well rounded learning environment.

Our student came from a lower rated school across the bay to this one thinking it’s going to be much better. We were so wrong. Quite the opposite. Many issues with this school. Lack of support for emotional/learning issues. No GATE program. Some teachers and staff that don’t bother communicating issues to parents. Students not allowed to have swings, play on soccer field, or play on playground outside school hours. Don’t send your child here. Look at the school rating compared to the other local schools. When’s the last time this school won a distinguished school award? Decades ago.

Some teachers were excellent but others lead to my kids regressing. Some parents are super involved while others are totally absent.The principal is nice but unresponsive. My kid was bullied to the point of serious depression and NOTHING was done. The way it was handled should be illegal and actually is in other states. Overall, I don't recommend this school. The social emotional learning is just hollow slogans and the teaching quality varies widely. If your lucky, you will have an ok experience. If not, issues will be allowed to grow and to cause lasting damage.

We heard good things about RCS from many local friends, but were still pleasantly surprised by how positive our experience has been so far after enrolling our child. Our child enjoyed K and 1st classrooms very much so far. Small class sizes, quality and accessible teachers, high parental involvement, great safe use of technology, and an ethnically/culturally/regionally/politically diverse student body make this a terrific learning environment. We look forward to leaning in more into this community.
