My son joined Maloney in Grade II and the teachers are excellent. They train the children collectively as well as individually according to their learning abilities. I have been volunteering regularly and am amazed about the progress a few children have made. Extracredit homework and projects are also given for children who are academically inclined. Teachers keep the best interest of every child in mind. They respond immediately to all the parent's queries. I had mixed feelings about the school intially but am more than satisfied now.

This school is very good. My daughter is in 1st grade and they conduct tests and time tests regularly. Also the learning is excellent. I like this school and recommend it.

We're new to Maloney this year. The staff I've encountered while volunteering have the kids' best interest at heart, and my family feels safe there. The curriculum is the same as any FUSD school. Maloney is smaller than neighboring schools, a benefit for kids that need extra attention. In 4 months, my kid is known by name by all K teachers and office staff (not for disciplinary issues). The big challenge is the transient nature of the population. This issue affects testing/API ratings and community-building. Maloney is an overload school so kids move when their number comes up at Parkmont/Glenmoor, and parents of overload students may not always want to get involved (PTA, volunteering). Maloney increased its API rating to 7 this year, but because many kids are moved around, the effects of Maloney teaching are also reflected in the scores of the 10/10 schools. Kids move into the district mid-year and fill Maloney spots vacated by overloads, but may not have been taught to API tests. This school would rise to Above Average with more parental involvement, and be Excellent if overloads were better-managed by the district.

Terrible principal. Has no control over student discipline. I met her multiple times over bullying incidents of my son. Not sure how other parents are giving high ratings for this school. Most fremont school API and school ratings are going up, while the ratings of this school consistently goes down every year

This school is good since the principal is very understanding, she understands every problem, on students and parents level also. Some teachers are really very good, kids and partents too love them. Only the concern is PTA should encourage the parents to volunteer in the class or school, which will make the rating of this school 10/10.

The teachers are excellent . On speaking to some teachers, I dont think principal infuses any enthusiasm among the teachers either. My kids still remember some of their early teachers here.
