I worked at Korematsu as a student teacher for the first semester of my teaching credential and it was a terrible experience. This is largely due to the bitter and negative mentor teacher that I worked with, Diana Jenkins. She has a negative reputation at Korematsu for being controlling--something t
Posted by a community member on 4/2/2025I think some of the teachers can blame you when you didn't even do anything. Also, one of my teachers won't get us to safety if there was a fire because when we had a fire drill they just kept grading papers. Some of my teachers assign endless worksheets and don't even teach us stuff so we get bad g
Posted by a student on 12/17/2024The 2024-2025 school year has been a massive shift from previous years. I believe there are 12 new staff members. In terms of teaching and learning, a good school will always have good and bad teachers. If your kid is lucky enough to have a good teacher who matches their learning style, they will li
Posted by a community member on 10/14/2024This lovely campus belies the deep, systemic failures now infecting public education in our golden state. In an effort for equity, not equality, the campus staff have attempted to ensure students fail equally: overcrowded classes, no academic challenges, barely homework, removal of gifted programs,
Posted by a parent on 5/16/2023My son only attended one year as we moved out of state. Considering we were in year two of the pandemic, my son had a great experience. He was lucky to have some great teachers. He took a leadership course that taught him skills he could use in the real world. The principal and his team did a great

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son started kindergarten is past fall and has been THRIVING. He in the past has struggled with transitions and he adapted to his new school and environment so quickly. He has really blossomed at Golestan and become an confident and excited learner. In just 3 months he has quickly picked up on phonics, can spell out some words and identify others. The teachers here make the learning so intentional and rigorous while also making it joyful. I love that little to no screens are used in the school and they really teach students (and families) how to be great humans all around. We feel so lucky to be a part of this school. It's the kind of learning environment that all children deserve.Parent Review6mo ago
