Everyone knows drug use is unfortunately common in many high schools, yet instead of focusing on prevention, education, or helping students make better choices, the administration appears quick to move toward severe disciplinary action like expulsion. Rather than working with families and supporting students who may need guidance, the response feels rushed and punitive. Schools should be focused on creating a safe environment and preventing these issues in the first place, not simply reacting after the fact by removing students. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this school.

Yes, drop-off can feel like chaos--after all, we all want to get to work, and everyone's rushing to drop off and leave. But that's normal for any school--it's just part of the daily routine. I've met the previous principal, the attendance clerk, and the assistant principal--who has a true love and passion for kids. It's clear they all care deeply and work hard for the students. My kids are always excited when they come home and love being at school. For communication, I personally prefer email--it's a reliable way to avoid small mix-ups like forgetting a note. Kids will be kids, and they'll get wild without their parents around, but that's part of growing up. Sometimes, I think the low-star reviews come from people who didn't get their way, rather than reflecting the true spirit of Stonebrae. I can't thank the staff enough for their dedication. Stonebrae is hands down the best elementary school in Hayward!

My children attended All Saints, beginning in 4th and 6th grade. Before that, we attended East…read moreAvenue Elementary School. There was nothing wrong with public school, but we wanted more for our children as they grew into young adults. We first learned about All Saints when my husband coached their boy's basketball team. Both of us were from Christian and Catholic backgrounds and we found the moral and spiritual guidance intertwined with their sports program complementary to our parenting style. We decided to transfer our children from public to private schools simply due to the opportunities, rigor, and environment that private schools afford. Each family views and values education differently, and in our case- my father instilled in me that "education is something that no one can take away from you." Therefore, we value a holistic and realistic education that provides many opportunities. How children perform and function in school is the sum of familial values and school environment. All Saints Catholic School complemented our familial values based on the following: 1. Spiritual, religious, and moral compass: Opportunities to develop faith formation simultaneously with the curriculum. Opportunities for us as a family to discuss current world events in a particular context and offer positive coping skills. 2. Academic rigor: Low classroom counts, better teacher-to-parent relationships, opportunities for science camps and science fairs. 3. School/parent environment/ sports: The administration is dedicated to the learning and safety of the children. When public schools were still distance learning, this institution had protocols for early in-classroom teaching (a lifesaver for me as I was on the frontlines in the ICU). Social events that are both wholesome, fun, and spiritual- Fiesta, Crab Feed, Fun Run, school dances, etc. They have a well-established CYO program with dedicated and league/diocese-winning coaches. 4. Kids Klub: after-school caregiving for those who require extended care. 5. Robust choir/ music program with a dedicated choir/ music director. 6. Safety of the campus My child is nearing graduating from All Saints and will soon transition to high school. My eldest was offered a generous scholarship at a prestigious private high school in Oakland but instead chose to attend a distinguished private high school in Hayward. Both were blessings and opportunities that I believe would not have been available to us if we had not chosen All Saints Catholic School. Many of our fondest memories originate with activities and events sponsored by All Saints and the Oakland Diocese. I highly recommend All Saints Catholic School- and if you'd like to know more-- find out yourself!

All Saints has persevered through Covid, to Teacher shortages and the general challenges of living in the Bay Area. Their Faith based approach and the way they keep up with an ever evolving curriculum has shown that they strive to ensure every student succeeds. Every teacher has a vested interest in your child to be their very best. There's always an opportunity for Parent and Student alike to show their school spirit and involvement. From the annual Fiesta to the School Dances to the Fun Run, Student Council and Science Camp - it "Takes a Village". And that is what All Saints is about. So if you are looking at schools and want to tour the best I recommend checking out what All Saints Catholic School is all about.

The secretaries and the attendance staff seem like a team that works for her, not for the district.

As a former Parent Ambassador 2020-2021 (parent volunteer) at Burbank Elementary School I strongly urge you to ask the school questions like: - Ask why are both playgrounds fenced off when, the vehicle accident only damaged the kindergarten playground?
