As a parent of four children who have attended Saint Cecilia School, I can speak to the lasting…read moreimpact this school has on families and students. Two of my children are now in college, one is in high school, and my youngest continues as a current student here. What impresses me most is the exceptional foundational academic preparation my children received. The skills and knowledge they gained at Saint Cecilia continue to serve them well in their educational journeys and beyond. Actually, my oldest college son said to me recently that if he lived in San Francisco and had children, he would send them to Saint Cecilia, wow. Beyond academics, Saint Cecilia creates a community where families belong. From cheering at CYO games to participating in beloved traditions like the annual crab feed, there's always something that brings everyone together. The school doesn't just educate your children; it invites your entire family to become part of the SC family.

I can't say enough good things about this school -- it truly feels like family. I went here myself,…read moreand now seeing the next generation experience the same sense of belonging and purpose makes it even more special. What sets this school apart is how it blends tradition, community, and service in such a natural, meaningful way. The teachers genuinely care, the faith-based foundation is strong, while valuing diversity and making those who aren't Catholic feel welcome. St. Cecilia students grow up grounded, confident, and kind. You'll see the impact in the friendships too -- lifelong bonds that bring alumni families back year after year. There's something rare and real about that kind of continuity in a big city like San Francisco. If you're looking for a place where your child will be known, supported, and part of something lasting -- this is it.

St. Brendan has been part of our family for generations. My father and siblings and I all attended…read moreand now my own kids go to school here. Needless to say, we have a lot of history with this school! What has kept our family coming back is the sense of community. It's a relatively small school where teachers and staff really know the kids, and families know and support one another. My children have had teachers who genuinely care about them and want them to succeed, both academically and as people. I also appreciate that St. Brendan offers much more than academics. Between sports, music, art, school traditions, service and all of the activities that bring families together, the kids get a really well-rounded experience and a strong sense of belonging. St. Brendan has changed quite a bit since I was a student there. But the things that made it special to our family are still there. My kids are happy, they're learning, they have wonderful friends, and they feel very much at home at school. It's pretty meaningful to watch them grow up in a community that has been such a big part of our family for three generations. We're very happy to be here.

The teachers genuinely care about the kids, the academics are strong, and there is such a wonderful sense of community among the families. Most importantly, my boys are happy there and love their school and as a parent, you really can't ask for much more than that. We feel very lucky to be part of St. Brendan!

I feel like the education here was pretty good considering it was mostly in cantonese for k-3, and…read morefor 4-5 it was half-half. The things that do need work are the math (Since it was all in cantonese) and the science (We only started learning it in the 2nd half of the school year) Other than that, I would say that it is just an incredible school. I currently know cantonese fluently, and, I know a lot of math in a totally different language. I feel that this school should deserve at least a 4 star review.

We just graduated the preschool. We spent two years with ms Tara in MMGG and we LOVED it. From the…read moretime we had the tour we knew this was the right place for us. Ms Tara is nice but also has authority and kids need that. Within couple of days our daughter was in love with the school and the teachers. She would ask when she is going back during the holidays (or camps). She grew up so much and learned so much in this school. You can see all the kids were thriving. I am attaching a picture from the graduation party in the park when Ms Tara showed up and all the kids run towards her and hugged her. If that's not proof of love I don't know what is. We will dearly miss all the friends we made there and the sweet teachers. Ms Jessica and Ms Tiffany have mad hair braiding skills. I will send my kid with half loose hair and she will come home with princess hair! Anyway, I cannot recommend enough this school. Your kid will be taken care of and thought some serious writing, reading and math skills. My daughter can add to 20! She is not even 5! We will be sending our second when the time comes as we know this will be the best place to her too!

Please continue to have Excel program to help parents who can't pick up the child early. Thank you so much for the hard work and education and the knowledge that all teachers at Lakeshore school gave to the children. My child loves the school and the teachers. Especially thanks to Ms Fusscas , you are amazing teacher , you prepare for the kids to have foundation before they move on to middle, you find the sources to help the kids to have chances to move on and continue to move to great middle and high schools. As a parent, I am very admire your way of teaching and lead the kids to learn. You are patience and good heart. My kid said :' Ms Fusscas is very strict but I love her so much because she really into teaching and caring for us, she supports and encourages us when we need help.' Thank you Mr principal for always being there and late for all the kids and help us to get all the paperworks done when other schools ask. The only sad is Ms office assistant who is in Mr Principal office and help with paperwork and pick up phone. For many times, other schools asking for my kid reports they never get it. I went in many times , sit there , asked , called , almost begged her if I can open the file and do it myself. She is just a bit rude and doesn't send the works as requested from other schools when students transfer, but besides those, all is ok.
