Thank you, thank you and thank you for restoring my faith in our education system! My son started…read morekindergarten at evergreen in Rohnert park...yikes! We enrolled him in 45/15 (evergreen), since the research I did shows that children retain education better when they don't have long breaks like summer. Thankfully I sold my home, moved back to west county, enrolled our son in Apple blossom and closed escrow. Phew! Lots of transition and apple blossom made the change of schools extremely non stressful! I was expecting what I went through at evergreen. What a blessing! His new teacher is AMAZING! I am thoroughly impressed with them in their entirety! The office staff are a joy and the principle makes a recognizable effort in getting to know each child and family. The computer lab just got fully updated and WOW! Bravo!! My son looks at learning as FUN, instead of a chore now and has long forgotten the terror he endured at evergreen. Thankfully he is resilient and strong! I am infinitely appreciative for this PUBLIC school! We played with the idea of putting him in Waldorf and in my opinion...This is a great balance. They even have a garden! Yayyy! And bravo again! Also, this school makes me WANT to get involved! My son's previous school had the complete opposite effect on me. Best kindergarten in Sonoma county! :)) I was even lucky enough to chaperone "the hungry catepillar" @ the Wells Fargo center. I am looking forward to the years that follow! :) Happy Monday! Time to get ready for school! :))

They give such strong messages to the children about the environment, healthy eating, the importance of play, and building friendships. The school is adorable and they take kids once a week out for an adventure day of 100% outdoor play. They offer before and aftercare if you need it. They use consistent positive discipline also. We tried another preschool before this one and were not satisfied, when we arrived here it was instantly a match.

Teachers encouraging parents not to speak to other parents about each other's children and experience at the school is verbally discouraged by educators. The school is also blocking transfers to other districts. There is no way this school has 5 stars. Overall traumatic. Ask the parents of students. Not the administrators.

Our child loves all the projects and simulations in class that make learning so fun! Spanish twice a week is such a bonus! The teachers are incredibly engaged and active in all parts of the school and the Principal is amazing. So dynamic and visionary. There is still a lot of work to be done and the Principal has big plans on growing the school and its many programs. We hope to see the new Performing Arts program take off as that is something that we miss from our old school. So much potential to get even better!!!

I went to this school. It's good. The superintendent was my principal when i went. She is super…read morenice and staff are nice too. I love all the teachers there. There is a new principal now so I don't really know about him all I know is that he does not dress like a principal and he acts like a student not a principal. Almost all teachers are great. One of the kindergarten teachers, I will not name her because that's messed up, is very mean. She flipped off a mom outside of school and is mean inside of school too. But if you are looking for a school for your kids, this school is great. They are also great with attending students with disabilities. My younger sister has spina bifida and they do a great job to help her with her needs. This is a very long review and yes, I'm a minor and no I don't go to this school anymore, but I used to.

Send your kid to a great public school system (The Reed Unified School District).

They have a strong emphasis on the 'three R's" but blended into modern methods. The teachers are just phenomenal. Thank you Gillespie, Spindler, Raiche, McLernan, Modlin and Eagen!!!

Key points I wish I had known: LACK OF DIVERSITY -take a look at reddit, news articles, google…read morethese 3 words: marin county racism. See if its a good fit for your family values. THE WEBSITE for the schools here makes the school appear more diverse than they are, one of the minority kids doesn't even attend these schools- I don't know about the rest, but you should visit the area when the school is released and determine for yourself if the website is consistent with what you see with your own eyes. Also take a look at staff composition of school staff, Town staff, police and emergency staff, and the composition of the kids in the after school programs. HIRE TUTORS- apparently its a well known secret that most hire private tutors etc. and this is reflected in the scores of this area. The private tutors and learning centers may fill you in on what the real deal is in the area. Hope this helps you before your kid is set back years. Also be aware that the learning centers in local distance all have ties to the schools/staff. PENSION FIASCO - read up on the articles that explain why /how this county is luring young families here. SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS read about the election and what they did to Matt Nagle and what his platform was. The "DISCRETION" built into rules and if they are arbitrarily applied.
