Assumption School

Old fashioned mind set here. No technology for kids, Spanish finally starting to improve after a decade. Do not look for help for either a very intelligent child, who's likely to be bored, or a child who needs help. No deviation from the standard to help your child do well in this school. Principal is no help, does not want to hear any problems or any creative solutions. Take it or leave it attitude. Parental involvement down due to principal's personality. Not the school it used to be under former principal. Look elsewhere for Christianity to be practiced. Many staff members unhappy but need jobs.

Excellent school, stellar parent involvement, holistic education forming the soul as well as the mind where goodness is valued, dedicated teachers and principal, excellent sense of community and nurturing environment, tuition is a real value offset by fundraising.

Academic curriculum e.g., math and science, could be more rigorus. Textbooks are dated. Limited extracurricular activities. Impact of recent turnover in staff unknown. Parent involvement is stellar. Lots of fundraising events offsets tuition. Good catholic values.

The principal and teachers are completely dedicated to the academics and to their students. Parents are encouraged to help. It is the best school in San Leandro. -Mom to a Kindergartener
