We have been pleased with our experience at Claremont - there are a few teachers that I have encountered are not well-liked by parents or students, but for the majority of the staff are hardworking and wonderful with our students.Special Ed parents need to be strong advocates, especially if their ch
Posted by a parent on 9/22/2025The teachers are very encouraging and love to make games out of what would otherwise be boring.
Posted by a student on 6/23/2022Sending our kids to Claremont was a GREAT decision. Both of my kids have honestly loved middle school. They've learned a lot and they've made great friends. They hang around with nearby friends after school and have a lot of independence because of proximity to the school and their social life. They
Posted by a parent on 4/20/2018I like the vice principal very much. He seems to know every kid's name and story. Unfortunately, the school has made zero effort to accommodate my child's learning needs & my child is begging for a new school. We will not be returning next year.
Posted by a parent on 4/12/2018I love how the school is diverse, in many different was. This is the real world, teachers are willing to help the students. They have a new principal , Mr Mayor is doing a great job.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy experience with Emerson Elementary in Oakland has been mixed. The school environment is generally OK, but families should proceed with caution. District mismanagement and dysfunction seem to trickle down to the schools. I agree with the one parent review urging caution, especially for Black families. Bullying also occurs on campus, and at times it has been racial.Parent Review3mo ago - Hillcrest Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur daughter has attended Hillcrest for 4 years and she loves it. She has especially loved her teachers who have been excellent. The teachers seem to enjoy working there and we have not seen much turn over. I've been very impressed with our new Principal (this is her 2nd year) who is very hands on and works to create a great feeling of belonging at the school - we see her at every event, seems to know every family and is clearly committed to making our school better. Our daughter also loves the aftercare programs which she does most days. There is a really close knit parent community and while most families are from the neighborhood area, about 30% of the families are from other areas and our daughter has made friends from all over Oakland. The PTA is very strong and they support a lot of community building activities which we like. We feel lucky to have found such a good school.Parent Review2mo ago - Emerson Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe absolutely loved Emerson and thrilled that our child is a student there. The principal Ms. Holmes is amazing and is constantly going above and beyond for the students. Emerson is one of the smaller elementary schools in Berkeley but feel fortunate that there is such a great sense of community among the parents.Parent Review1y ago - Sylvia Mendez Elementary
