All three of our children graduated from Saint James and we couldn't be more grateful for the…read moreexperience they each had. We have been a part of the Saint James family for 8 wonderful years and tonight, we celebrate our son's graduation. Saint James provided not only a strong academic foundation but also instilled in them values rooted in faith, compassion, and community. The dedicated teachers, supportive staff, and nurturing environment helped shape our children into confident, respectful, and well-rounded individuals. We always felt our kids were truly known, cared for, and challenged to reach their full potential--spiritually, academically, and personally. Saint James has been a blessing to our family, and we will always hold it close to our hearts. We highly recommend Saint James. Thank you Mr. Endo and the entire Saint James family!!!

High for an incoming 6th grader…read more I was completely impressed and frankly touched with schools academics, and teaching approach, the faculty/administrators, the current student body and the religious part of the curriculum. The teachers/administrators have longevity and several of them are Saint James alumni. The students, including the classroom ambassadors from Grades k-8 --communicated their classroom structure and daily activities in a superb manner--including the kindergartens/first grader's-- through the 8th graders. I was able to chat with the principal, Vice principal, and each teacher. My guide was Francis and she was wonderful. Great school near Noe Valley.

Sheridan Preschool has the best Special Ed program in the city!!!…read more The teachers and assistants are very involved and dedicated to every child in the classroom. Our 4 year old son loves Ms. Sabrina's singing and playing guitar every day. Ms. Nocedal goes out of her way to make sure that kids strive to achieve their goals. Both of the teachers have structured programs and they are both very caring, using individual approach to cater to every child's needs. The teachers and assistants provide usefull tips and help work on the same goals that parents are working at home. We are very fortunate to find this Preschool as this has become a second home for our child. We would like to THANK ALL OF THE TEACHERS AND AIDS: MS. SABRINA, MS. NOCEDAL, CLARISSA, KHIN, ROSIE, NAZARETH, CHASE, and DONN FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB!!! Also, special thanks to the principal Dina for putting up a new fence to ensure safety for the kids! Sheridan is an exceptional school because of all of the caring teachers that gives the kids their all. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH! WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE TEACHERS LIKE YOU!!!

She was finally accepted to Longfellow in her mid-year 1st grade, and I reluctantly pulled her in fear that she would lose her spot. Since then, she's been at Longfellow and she'll be graduating 5th grade next week. I wanted her to attend this school, because my husband was also a student. I feel bad for saying this about a school .... I am SO happy that she's finally leaving this school. Some of the teachers she's had .... two of them were outstanding, but some have bad attitude. Come on! The school is overpopulated, which I'm sure that most in the bay area are given the budget cuts. The location of the school sucks; there's no parking except for the driveways of the houses across the street. Honors/recognition for the kids that over achieve, or at least achieve? None. The San Francisco School district allows you to select any school in San Francisco, which explains it all. Trust me, I've done my homework with the other schools. My recommendation: send your kid to a private school or move.

It's been 5 years since my review and I now have an 8th grader and a 4th grader at St. Dunstan's…read more We have been at the school since 2015 and still love it. The principal, faculty, and staff truly care about each student and it shows. If you are considering private high school, I highly recommend St. Dunstan's to lay the academic foundation. My daughter loves her teachers and said that the high school entrance exam was relatively easy compared to what they are learning at St. Dunstan's. I've spoken to many parents who transferred their kids in for middle school who've said they wished they had started at St. Dunstan's sooner because it is such a welcoming and warm environment. They have a ton of extracurriculars and events. Sports intramurals for K-3 and competitive sports for 4-8th. We have musical theater classes and performances. As well as Spanish classes and technology. Every month there are family friendly events- from family movie night, Casino Night, Lobster Feed, the father/daughter dance, family bingo night, lady knights and men clubs events, and so many fun events. We have the spring festival and middle school dances. Fun Day with games and an end of year school wide picnic. The kids are kind, respectful, and inclusive. The parent community is amazing and we have made lifelong friendships with other families. Choosing St. Dunstan's for our kids is probably one of the best decisions we have made for their academic, emotional, and social well being. We are grateful to Dr. Sandoval and her team for creating an environment where our children are thriving!

We originally were very worried about his transition and leaving all his friends and his known environment. It has been smooth transition so far. The Families in St Dunstan are very welcoming to our family. My son doesn't normally play team sports that involved balls, he made an exception with the baseball team in St Dunstan. He has thrived so much over the last few months we transitioned. Not only his grades are excellent but also his mental wellbeing has improved so much. He was encouraged to participate more in the class and he did, which he didn't do in the previous school. He participated in the class Spelling Bee that required him to speak and spell in front of everyone which was impossible for him to do before. The school staffs are very nice. They are very attentive of my son and our families. The teachers that he has, have been so accommodating and supportive in making him thrive in school. The school has Science, technology, Spanish, Art in Action and Creative Art. I was allowed to teach how to plant tulips and vegetables in their school plots that the Science teacher incorporated it to his lesson. There are many Non Catholic families as well and you wouldn't feel that they weren't part of the community. In terms of education, I observe that some of the teachers are willing to give extra help to those that need help which they do outside of the school hours. They also have resource teachers for reading and mental health. I also see that there will be accelerated Math for those who are advanced in Math. This will start in 5th grade.

My kids genuinely enjoy coming to school and taking part in the wide variety of activities offered--there really is something for everyone. It's been incredible watching them come out of their shells so quickly. The teachers are relatable and approachable--seriously, how cool is that?! My kids are involved in cheer, track & field, and my freshman had the incredible opportunity to travel to Greece for spring break with the school. Of course, everyone's experience is unique, but for us, everything has been nothing short of fantastic so far. Highly recommend!

So many of the teachers extremely good at their job and need so much more praise than what they get. The student life is amazing there are so many groups and i feel like there is most definitely someone you could find with similar interests. The fine arts program is fantastic the band has sounded amazing and the dance program is popping off. The sports programs have been doing amazing recently basketball is being coached extremely well soccer aswell. The main problem i have with this school is the administrators. Ive never seen them happy literally ever and they always hating for no reason except the principle hes mysterious but hes cool. I havent even seen the one of the vice principals which is crazy. I feel so bad for Dr.McDonald because she is literally carrying this school on her back she puts in so much effort and has to take up so many classes and all of this because no one else wants to. The admins who barely do anything always taking credit for everything that the students and she does.

Oh man, I graduated from Star in 1998...10 years ago this year. How scary :-/…read more Absolutely loved the school. Class sizes were perfect, and every teacher knew who you were. There were only 30-something people in my graduating class, so the teachers could really spend time catering to their students individually. Does Star still do the 7th grade overnight trip to the Marin Headlands? Anyways, I would adamantly recommend Star to any parent looking for quality education.
