Our son is a freshman in his first year at MA, and he loves it. The teaching is very hands-on, cameraderie strong, and there are many trips and special events.

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 Review4mo 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

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur family has been so happy at The Academy. The teachers are caring, passionate, and truly dedicated — they challenge the kids to think bigger and dive deeper into their learning. The school balances academic rigor with creativity and inclusion, and there’s such a genuine sense of community among both students and parents. We love how the school connects with the local the library, and museums, and how it celebrates different cultures and brings families together. It’s a place that truly values both learning and belonging.Parent Review7mo ago
