Frick United Academy of Language

My son went here for kindergarten and loved it even though most of it was online. Later he was able to do twice a week for a few hours and I got to meet more staff. The teachers were amazing as well as all the staff that worked here while my son attended. My son learned so much here which was a surprise with a lot of it being remote. I really appreciate the time and care the teachers and staff put into the students. It was really nice that even the principal met with the kindergartners and talked to them once a week with another teacher doing an activity with the kids over Zoom. I thought that was really nice for the principal to do that with his busy schedule so I can just imagine I know he do that for all classes.The facility is clean, well kept, and looked like they were expanding. I changed my son’s school to something closer to our house but I do miss him going to this school. We ended up at this school bc I was way past the registration deadline and this was 1 of 2 schools left with availability so I chose this since it was just down the street from his daycare in case she needed to take him or pick him up. We live in fruitvale but if we were to ever move to this area I would definitely re-enroll him again here. I’m really glad I didn’t judge this school off the low scores I saw online which I did my own research on, on how a lot of those scores are biased bc it’s based off the neighborhood and demographics.

The director is VERY unreasonable. Armstrong is her name and PUBLIC HUMILIATION is her game The woman is a bully. And I feel really bad for the dedicated teachers that work at this school, because their leader and director just hinders this school from being all that it could be. I WOULD NOT send my student here. Any parent that sends their child to this school is obviously not looking online and reading reviews because multiple people have commented on the directors need to humiliate and harshly punish the students. One person even commented that she pays people to write good reviews, its just ridiculous. Please find a different school for your students, because at this school your students best interest is not first on the priority list.

No taxpayer and government-funded public district school should have to mandate school uniforms.

They don't bother teaching math. Instead they focus on social and emotional well-being. The kids are happy. Until they fail just like the institution this school is named for.

Dr. Herbert Guice has provided my children with an awesome foundation in education. My children are thriving in Middle school and High school. I love the small family oriented community.

Greatest experience of my life. Highly recommend this ellementry school
