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.

My daughter came home on the bus and forgot her "Jacket" at the playground on 03/25/26 This is…read morewhen the school has a half day they get out at 12:30 pm I drove her back and spoke to someone in the office and the principal about getting the jacket. It would take less than 2 mins to get. They both had a nasty attitude telling me she can't go get it because they dont want anyone disturbing YEP. She already had 1 Jacket stolen. We didn't want another one stolen. A few months ago my daughter forgot her homework/project papers in class and the office had absolutely no problems walking to the classroom opening the door (teacher was gone for the day) letting her get her homework during YEP. So if that wasn't a problem then why would it be a problem now? She left the Jacket on the playground area not in the classroom. The young girl who works the front desk and the principal had a nasty attitude about her getting her Jacket. I told the principal if she can't get her jacket then im calling HUSD. He said "I dont care go right ahead" and he closed the door in my face. Anyone working there could have went to the play area and got her Jacket.. I could understand if the school was closed and nobody was there but the office doesn't close until 4:30 pm. I came there at 1:30 pm. This is what you call the height of laziness. On 9/7/26. I came to the school to pick my daughter up because she had a doctor's appointment. Instead of the office calling her teacher and have me sign her out , one of the faculty members in the office ( I won't say their name) started talking about the Jacket. I was like wtf that was 2 weeks ago, I just want my child so we wint be late for the appointment. This faculty memeber said "Im very disappointed with you because you complained to HUSD after we told you, we had a meeting and couldnt get the Jacket' Im telling myself "I didnt come here to argue/talk about the jacket" So I said, "This all could have been avoided if you just let my child walk 2 mins to the playground and back" I was then told "If you dont like it here you can take your child and go to another school" I saw that comment as very unprofessional. II am standing there telling myself "Why didn't you just call the teacher already so I can take my child to the doctor" Nope this person just kept rambling on and on about the Jacket. If that wasnt bad enough this person said "So and So is in the _____ Grade and their age is ____ and should be more responsible of taking home thsir personal belongings . This was first time my child forgot a jacket. I talked it over with my wife, I honestly believe HUSD or whoever is in charge needs to flex their muscles and start terminating those who can not communicate at a professional level with the parents of a child. Warnings don't do anything and we all know it because that is like a slap on the wrist. I notice some faculty members (won't say names) Don't say hello, hi or anything when you say hello to them or even wave. They have a personality of a rock and they are emotionally detached, unexpressive, and generally boring to interact with. I try my best to avoid those people when I go to the school even when there is a school event. I am going to file a complaint because I want to see the school staff be more professional while working and talking to the public, especially the parents/legal guardians of all students. An old saying "You Reap What You Sow" What does that mean? Well it means your current actions, behaviors, and decisions (sowing seeds) will inevitably lead to direct consequences in the future, whether good or bad. When push comes to shove, I am not going to cower down like other parents.. If you can't be professional at the job you are paid to do then retire or find a new line of work.

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.
