    St. Leander School has been a second home for my children for many years. I currently have a 14…read moreyear old in 8th grade and a 10 year old in 5th grade. The teachers are great, especially the middle school teachers and 5th grade teacher who is also the VP. The teachers are responsive and address any questions I have. My 8th grader recently took the HSPT and interviewed with the Catholic HS of her choice. During the interview, the principal from the HS said she loves Saint Leander and all the kids that come from Saint Leander. It really is a close knit community full of diversity and respect for everyone. When the pandemic hit in March 2020, my kids finished the school year virtually. All teachers did a great job keeping them engaged. I took them out for the following year and enrolled them in public school. Both kids were much more advanced in reading, writing, math and science than their peers in public school. Once in person school was available both kids begged to return to Saint Leander. They are much happier to be back!

    My son has been going to this school since Kindergarten and absolutely LOVES it!! He's now in the…read more6th grade. As a parent and school board member I love it too. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating ensuring that no child is left behind. It's a small but mighty community with wonderful families. I recommend to any family interested in sending their child to a faith-based learning environment.

    Catholic private school located in East Oakland, near Oakland Zoo. I am not an alumnus of Bishop…read moreO'Dowd but I came here for my LMU Extension classes for the last two years. The campus is small but beautiful. Money really does make a significant difference in the type of education any student receives. All the facilities and grounds are well-maintained and are up-to-date. Classrooms have a maximum of 25 desks and include an electronic panel for projector, sound, and lights. This school also has as a separate center for environmental studies and are now raising money (upward of $1 million) for another brand new building. It's crazy that a school could accomplish this.

    A disappointing step backward for inclusion and belonging…read more Deciding to ban or prohibit the display of Pride flags at Bishop O'Dowd High School is a deeply regressive move that flies in the face of the school's core values. For years, O'Dowd has prided itself on fostering a culture of equity, compassion, and community. Erasing symbols of visibility for LGBTQ+ students, faculty, and staff actively damages that mission.  Sends a harmful message: High school is already a vulnerable time for teenagers. Stripping away visible markers of support tells LGBTQ+ youth that they are unwelcome, unseen, or that their identities must be hidden to fit an institutional mold.  Undermines community trust: Decisions made behind closed doors--seemingly under pressure from outside leadership--without meaningful input from parents, teachers, and students show a profound lack of transparency and respect for the school community.  Contradicts a progressive spirit: Oakland has a rich, proud history of diversity and advocacy. For a local institution to yield to exclusionary policies is embarrassing and alienating to the very families who choose O'Dowd for its supposed openness.  Inclusion isn't just a buzzword to put on a brochure; it requires actual visibility and protection for marginalized groups. By yielding to this policy, the administration is failing its students. Do better.
