Junction Avenue K-8 School

My daughter went to this school 8 years ago and I liked the school then. My son is now a 6th grader there and we LOVE it. The class size is small, the teachers are very approachable and responsive. They want your child to excel. My son loves the activities for the Jr. Highers. We have not had any problems with either our daughter or our son. Great parents too:)

The dual (language) immersion program is excellent. It is amazing how fast children can learn and understand a 2nd language. The teachers make the program. The Principal is very supportive of the program and easily accessible.

What can I say; this is a school you cannot afford to pass up. My family and I ONLY speak English, we currently live in the Sunset school area of Livermore, and before I knew what Junction had to offer, my daughter attended Our Savior Lutheran School. My original thought was that you get what you pay for. So private school must be better that public, right? Well, I was wrong. No Livermore school can compete with the awesome Dual Immersion (DI) program that Junction offers. After touring the school, meeting the teachers, administrators & other parents and then going home and doing my own research about DI programs, we all decided to switch schools mid yr. My daughter knew very little Spanish but we felt confident that with hard work we could catch up. She s now in 4th grade and is doing great! Her star test scores are high, all while spending literally the year learning every core subject including math in Spanish!!! Her Spanish is good enough to have telephone conversations with native Spanish speakers after only 2 years in the program. I m still amazed and a little jealous that I didn t have the opportunity to learn a 2nd language in school when I was young.

For years before I had kids here I would frequently ask ppl about Junction. I came to the conclusion that those who had negative opinions did not have kids there BUT those who did have positive things to say did indeed send their kids there. I am a proud parent there. The teachers are always accesible and always willing to speak to you about your kids performance. Their expectations are high of the students. The dual-immersion program is by far LVUSD's best kept secret. My Kindergartner is FLOURISHING in this program. Mr. Fields leadership is incomparable! He too is accesible to speak with and he maintains a balance of respect and likeability with the staff and students. I for one love the fact that my kids are exposed to other socio-economic backgrounds and are not in a 'bubble'.
