    I was in that school since kindergarten, and I LOVE the teachers and the education there…read more I also made so many friends, and even younger friends. I helped out some of the staff too. Like the lunch lady, I helped her out *almost* every day at breakfast time when I was in 5th grade. I helped out my old teachers a few times too. I was a library helper, and a rainy day helper. And my younger brother is also a student at that school~ Some of my teachers there were pretty humorous, and I think the principal(s) in our school are just as fine. So this one teacher (I think you students all know, Mrs. Harsono): Well she's strict, but she is like, strict in a way that we all end up learning, and it's good to learn something new... and yes, she really can be a little hard, but thats because the students dont know better. They think she "harsh", really? And yeah, some students have problems and have late learning, but still, even those other children, they should know better. The kids are having the decision to be rude and not be nice to the staff or something just because of their personality. I've had her as a second grade and fourth grade teacher, and she is nice, if you're nice back. OwO. I actually had trouble in writing and paying attention, but I tried my hardest to listen. That was MY decision. I decided to be good. I realized my mistake, and survived my fourth grade year. Sometimes students have to understand it... AnywAY, the school was one of the 'better schools' , no offense, but I agree. They taught a lot of things ahead so we know what to do. My first grade teacher, Ms. McDermott, she's so nice.. And my third grade teacher, (she already retired, Ms. Tourlos) was probably my best teacher. My 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Almeida, taught a lot too. My PE teacher(s), MS. Brown, Ms. Gloria, etc. did a lot of good exercises and fun games. And, well, all my teachers are the best, eheh. Middle school actually feels easy, like at PE, my mile time is around 9:30 average. All of my subjects feel easy to me, and I have band class, and already took the flute at Tobias, so I kept going at flute! It's so influential, especially when you are older and mature. You understand more, and maybe, students, might change their mind about this school. I love my grade. All my friends in my grade. We all understand now. And we *almost* all love the school. I recommend kids to go here. gO EaAAAAAaGLES UWu -SV

    Experience could be better... I graduated 10 years ago, so a lot of things have changed…read more From the get-go, no one wanted to be friends with me, which made me dread school. In kindergarten, I wanted to play with the building blocks, so I would hang out with the boys, but they would never include me and single me out, so I decided to hang out with the girls, and they would also make fun of me and would not want me to hang out with them because I was different. The PE instructor was mean to me as well and singled me out for a lot of things during first and second grade. On top of that, I was a victim of bullying, and a lot of people thought I was incompetent and worthless, even though I did nothing wrong. For the most part, the teachers were nice, and I know that some of you all had complaints about this one fourth-grade teacher (ifkyk), but in all honesty, a majority of your complaints are due to you enabling your kids too much. Yes, I do get that they were harsh at times, and they even singled me out for being disorganized, but it was a life lesson for me. I also witnessed them being harsh towards a student, but they were doing their work on a table that had a chair on it, and they were kneeling on the ground, resulting in their inability to concentrate properly, so in that case, they had a right to be harsh. Some of their biggest flaws were singling out students who were ahead or behind, which I was not a fan of. I remember one of my classmates transferred schools because they got singled out for being the "bad" student, which was messed up since if you were worried about their progress, it would be better to talk to the student's parents about it rather than humiliating them in front of the class. That being said, in most cases, they had a right to scold students since the students would be rather mean to the teacher (I witnessed this throughout my whole K-12 education), and they were the most stern about it, which led to parents and students not liking them. I have a feeling that maybe her reputation wouldn't have been so bad if parents didn't constantly enable their kids I also noticed that the school should do a better job with substitute teachers. During my fifth grade year, my teacher was on maternity leave, so we needed a sub and this led to the class getting out of control and my parents were having complaints about the students not learning and the children behaving badly (bullying, passing mean notes, talking over the teacher, having no regards for the rules, etc) and again, this could have been a result in parents enabling their kids too much. I was more grounded, and this led to me being bullied and singled out, so when graduation came, I felt empty towards everyone. There was this one yard member who would always come to my classroom and yell at everyone for no reason, which got on my nerves and was rather unpleasant to deal with at 8:30 am. I was also not a fan of the fact that some of my classmates were boy crazy in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade since I just wanted to live life. In all honesty, my experience could have been better, but the end of my fifth-grade year made my experience pretty bad, along with cliquey classmates and bullies.

    Hilldale is an absolute gem. We've been part of the community for nearly nine years and currently…read morehave children in 8th, 6th, and 4th grade. We're deeply grateful for how the school has supported, nurtured, and challenged each of them. The head of school is outstanding, and the teachers and staff are exceptional. We came for the academics and stayed for the school's commitment to developing thoughtful, self-aware, and engaged citizens. Hilldale's core habits of leadership, respect, and independent lifelong learning are woven into every aspect of the experience. The curriculum is well balanced, with strong emphasis not only on STEM, but also on humanities, arts, music, ethics, and global citizenship. Some of our favorite traditions include the Young Authors Project, the Harvest Feast, the Winter Music Concert, and the International Fair, which celebrates cultures from around the world. We've also appreciated how thoughtfully the school meets each child's individual needs. One of our children received early support and accommodations for a learning difference, even before a formal diagnosis, and is now thriving alongside his peers. Another was moved ahead in a subject to ensure he was adequately challenged. Throughout, communication with us as parents has been clear and collaborative. Our oldest is sad to say goodbye after starting in kindergarten, but she leaves well prepared for the transition to high school. We can't thank the Hilldale team enough for their dedication to our children's growth over the years.

    I grew up in Daly City and attended public schools here -- the experience could have been better…read moreback in the 90s and 00s. I had my first experience in 2024 with JESD as a parent and decided to apply for a transfer for my child, first to another school in district and then to a school out of district. The JESD staff were all extremely kind and helpful. I was diligent in getting enrolled first in the assigned home school, being early to apply for transfer, meeting all deadlines and following all rules to ensure our child's best chance at acceptance. We received notice from JESD that our application to attend the specified school out of district was approved on this end and being forwarded to the other district. We (wrongly) understood that this was our application and all the paperwork was filed on time and that we would be notified if accepted to the school we listed on our application. This application was actually ONLY for the permit you need to attend out of district. None of our enrollment information at the home school was forwarded or used for application to the transfer. When it came time to hear about acceptance to the out of district school we thought we applied to, the other district had no record of us applying...because nowhere in any of the material or correspondence did JESD mention the critical information that in addition to the permit you need for your child to attend school out of district, you also have to apply separately to the district you want to attend... This is our first child attending grade K...you could argue user error, but the way the correspondence regarding the permit went, it misled us to think that in itself was us "applying" to the out of district school. We have now missed the early applications to the other district and are now attempting to squeeze into the third and fourth rounds of applications, but thought everything was taken care of...just a bit frustrated and disappointed. Hoping for the best. Hoping this feedback helps JESD and other parents, as the district could be much more clear about this on its website, in its mailed correspondences and communication from staff--simply say that the application for out of district transfer is a permit ONLY and that it is up to the parent to investigate application policies, deadlines, and apply separately to the other district to be considered for enrollment.

    This school district is not the greatest but certainly not the worst. I believe every staff are…read moredoing their very best to give all the students the best education there is regardless of the limited budget. The diversity of the people in this district is amazing. My 2 older kids graduated in Oceana and I have a child that is still in Westlake Elementary. I am very happy with this school district and I commend the educators for a job well done as my children are thriving for excellence because of the school's support. If America can spend millions of dollars in buying ammunition, why can't it be spent on better education. Overall, I give this district a 5 star as it deserves it.
