My family and I were very disappointed with our experience when trying to schedule a school tour…read more As Deaf parents, we simply asked The First Academy to provide an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter so we could fully understand the information being shared during the tour. Despite multiple emails and opportunities to reconsider, the school declined to provide an interpreter. Instead, we were told to rely on written communication, tablets, and "extra time," which are not effective or equitable substitutes for real-time ASL access. This does not provide meaningful communication for Deaf adults, especially during an important process like evaluating a potential school for our children. We were also told we could "bring our own interpreter," which shifts the burden of accessibility onto families rather than meeting basic inclusion standards. We left the interaction feeling that the school was not prepared to support the communication needs of Deaf parents. Accessibility should not be optional, and it should not depend on families paying out-of-pocket to participate. I hope the school takes this feedback seriously and re-evaluates its approach to serving Deaf and hard-of-hearing families in the future.

Thanks to her dedication, my daughter thrived and developed a love for learning. This year, she graduated from Mrs. Neysha's classroom, which was another phenomenal experience. Mrs. Neysha was just as caring and personable, creating a nurturing environment where every child felt valued. She taught so many important lessons, both academically and personally, and helped my daughter achieve Principal's Honor Roll. I truly could not have asked for a better school or more amazing teachers. We are so grateful for the love, support, and education our daughter has received at Cranium Academy. We love this school and can't wait to see what next year will bring!

My kids were both born in Florida, and our family has moved around quite a bit, so we've seen different school environments. That said, Windermere Prep has been much more than just a school for our family it has truly been an experience. The campus is beautiful. The classrooms and teachers are nurturing, and the school offers strong academic programs, including the IB curriculum. My children have also had opportunities to participate in international trips and other experiences that helped them grow beyond the classroom. At the same time, like any school, students still need to take responsibility for their own studying and effort. I've found several administrators and teachers including Mr. Villatico, Dr Fouche, Mr Muenker, Ms. Gemma very supportive and easy to work with. When concerns are raised, the school does respond and work toward solutions. We are proud to be Lakers.

After taking the rest of the year to reflect and monitor the progress and improvements, I am happy to write a new review. The school has been in what seems to be a transitionary phase with the principle and other school leaders. In the beginning of the year, I had no confidence that the ship was heading in the right direction. Since October, the principle and rest of the staff have really proven that this is the A school that it is rated. Mr. Ballone had personally taken an interest in our child after our concerns in the beginning of the year and really showed integrity and compassion for what he is doing. Our daughter was in the first grade, and we have nothing but great things to say about her teacher, and the others that we have encountered. While we wish we had taken advantage more, I love the policy that you are allowed to go and eat lunch with your children. This is a neat thing to do. The school and parents are all very active in the community. We have weighed the options of private school and have elected to keep our daughter here, really feeling that it is a great place for her.

There are a few downsides to this Charter School : No buses, a below average before/after school program, lack of Library and music programs. If you don't live in Oakland, then you have to do a lottery system for getting into the school which can be stressful for those parents seeking an alternative to their locally zoned school. Pros: Teachers are great, setting is safe, clean and fun.
