This wonderful school not only teaches the basic subjects in class, but the faculty and staff teach good moral values, like respect and responsibility. It is a community-oriented environment.
—Submitted by a parent
Chabot Elementary is not only an incredible school and learning vehicle for my children, but it is also an amazing community to grow in. The strong parent presence in the classrooms and across the many activities differentiate it from the other schools in Castro Valley.

I love that Chabot teachers and staff all go out of their way to make learning fun for our children. We have a very strong Parent Club that provides for many extras that the school needs. What a great place to be!

Fabulous teachers! My son had Ms. Shergill with help from Ms. Emanuell for K - what a dynamic team. Add to that parents who are active participants in their child's education and you can't go wrong.

The teachers, other parents, and principal are phenomenal at Chabot! The feeling on our campus is one of down-to-earth warmth with a strong academic structure creating a unique multi-cultural community.

Chabot Elementary School is the best for many, many reasons. We have great students, great parental support and tons of involvement in fundraising efforts, Parent Club activities, and classroom assistance. Our children are well rounded and show a great amount of respect to the school, its students, and parents. Our fundraisers are always well attended and we raise lots of money for many different, valuable programs such as playground equipment, an outside learning garden, an intervention science teacher, lighting for our plays, and a new sound system. We have wonderful teachers who care about our children and truly enjoy their jobs. I love the comraderie of all the parents and our weekly Friday Flag 'schoolwide' assembly is enjoyed by all. Our children are recognized for their hard work and accomplishments. And we are the only elementary school in the area who has a spring play program for all the 4th and 5th graders so our children are enriched with a drama/theater experience. I am so proud to be a part of such an awesome school! Chabot Rocks!!!

My son and daughter love going to school each day. The kids and their friends feel so fortunate to go to a school that supports and celebrates their interests and talents.It is such an exciting place to be a part of with an amazing faculty that are truly dedicated to educating and inspiring the students in their endeavors. We love Chabot Elementary. Go Tigers!

I love that Chabot opens up the minds of the kids that go there to all the possibilities in the world. They have a yearbook committee, student government, a musical, singing and band, etc. The children really get to experience many of their choices at such a young age.

Parental involvement is one thing that makes this school so great!
—Submitted by a parent
This is our daughter's second year at Wilson and we are thrilled! The principle and teachers are so obviously invested in the success of the kids - and not just as students, but as 'people.' We truly feel like members of a community with a common cause - our kids.

We just moved to MA after attending Chabot for 6 years. We moved for several reasons and although the CA education system is facing subtantial financial issues with the budget etc. Chabot is definitely NOT one of the reasons we left. We will sorely miss the school, the staff and all our friends we met while being in, yes, the 'community' at Chabot. It takes many levels to make a school great and Chabot definitely has it figured out. No school is perfect, but they come pretty close!

This school honors diversity and relishes parent participation. Great teacher who care!
—Submitted by a parent
EXCELLENT! This school is small enough to feel like a second family. So many activities and things to do. Our son enrolled mid year due to us moving and them not having room at the school by our house he ended up being placed in Chabot. We have decided to try and keep him here next year due to the fact he enjoyed going to school so much each day. He loved his teacher Ms. Fulton. He loved his science teacher and the science program. The parents are very much invloved and the children have such big school spirit! The playground situation is nice and the test scores speak for themselves. The parking is not very good. Cabot is a wonderful school and everyone from teachers, staff, and students have made our whole family feel very welcome.
—Submitted by a parent
A true community school that values not just test scores but also well-rounded education. The parents support the teachers and the teachers are top notch! We have been very pleased with the various programs and community-building events that this school offers.
