Frederiksen Elementary School

Entering our second year here and couldn't be happier. The teachers are wonderful, the principal very involved and caring and the parent involvement high. The improvements that have been made to the exterior of the school make it look more like the quality school it is.

Not a great place to send our daughter. Our family was new to the area and was welcomed wonderfully by the families (good point). BUT, after sending our daughter for a short time it became noticable that the school was not a good fit. The principal could not/ would not answer simple questions as to why there were so many suspensions for a K-5 school. Just kept refering me to the "handbook". Do your research, in the end, you may have no choice, transfers are few and far between. Although, the parents thought very highly of their school we decided to take our daughter out. I do have to add the the parent envolvment was very high.

My son is a kindergardener now, and I can tell Frederiksen is the perfect school.

Frederiksen Elementary is one of the most well balanced elementary schools in Alameda county. Since class sizes are small, teachers are able to provide one on one support to all students. Most importantly, education is taught at all levels truly not leaving any student behind. I hold Frederiksen in high regard as a great place for students to learn and transition into well mannered, intelligent, down to earth adults. Great job and kudos to the City of Dublin. You have kept the down home tradition in the city of dublin balancing expansion with true quality. Cheers

I am a parent of a first grader here. The school's parent community is thriving! I manages to succeed even though they serve the bulk of socio and economically disavantage students in the district. Teachers are caring and have years of experience.

As a parent of a 1st grader at Fred, I believe this is an excellent school. They have great extra curricular activities for the kids that my daughter has loved attending this year. As a parent and a former student I recomend this school.

Parents are very involved at this school. Principle is new this year. Last year we had two different people through the year.Some teachers are very good and some are only fair.

Great, caring teachers. Fred has a very active Parent Faculty Club and strong sense of community. The activities offered enrich students lives and interests in many ways. The school is diverse, safe and caring. I have sent 3 children there and would highly recommend the vast majority of the teachers there as very good to outstanding. 5th grade teachers there are the cream of the crop! Facilities could use updating, However, it is on the agenda to be upgraded by the DUSD.

My children (2) have been at this school for going on 3 yrs. We are very happy with the school and teachers for the most part. They have a high API score in the high 800's, I beleive. They have good quality academic programs, that my children have benefited from. They have a P.E., and Fine Arts class every week. They can join band also. There are fun activities for families to participate in all school year long (Disco Bingo, family letter writing night, bedtime books, etc.). The level of parent involvement is high. They have a strong PFC (Parent Faculty Committee). A new principal has started this year. I've heard good things about her.
