​We visited this school to see a Young Actors Theater (YAT) production of Frozen, and it was an…read moreamazing show! ​Parking is plentiful, and the walk to the theater entrance was very easy. There is a decent-sized foyer that comfortably accommodated concessions, raffle display tables, and the end of show meet/greet. ​Inside the theater, every seat gives you a great view. We sat in the back row on the main floor level and had no trouble seeing the entire stage. It's a very clean venue, and the comfortable seats were definitely a plus for a 2.5-hour production! I wasn't cold or hot. Surprisingly the temperature was just right! ​YAT did such a wonderful job! If this is their main venue, we'll definitely be back to support future productions. I 100% recommend following YAT for upcoming show dates!

However, you'd think that the school could provide shade or seating for the families in attendance. Whoever planned the 2024 5th grade promotion should be terminated and never be tasked with a project that requires basic thinking or logic! I attended this school as a child and 2 of my other children attended and I have never experienced something so uneventful and lacking in basic necessities. I would advise you to enroll your child in a school other than Dailard.

Four teachers left 6 months into the year, went out on medical leave, or just quit. Not a stable environment for your kid. Bullying from teachers (Beatrice Bernal) happens here, and gets swept under the rug. Start school shopping now: Hearst, Green & Benchley, are better.

any reviews before 2020 are extremely outdated and do not apply at all…read more also a lot of the reviews are done by parents of students. students that actually experienced this place should review it. this place is trash. I got horribly bullied. called names, cursed out and called a variety of slurs on the regular, so much so that I had to change my name. I also got assaulted and inappropriately touched often. all authority figures at the school did nothing to stop all of this. I'm not hyperbolizing. I went into this school a happy kid, thinking the world is great and everyone has something good in them. I left with a horrible anxiety disorder, plenty of trauma, and probably other stuff I haven't even discovered. I highly recommend sending your kids anywhere but here. I've heard Farb middle is okay, and its less than a mile from De Portola. the free food and slightly better teachers are not worth the horrible people at the school. before 8th grade promotion we were told to fill out a little form about our experience. I was brutally honest and it blew their minds. I just wanna say that I did everything right during middle school. when there was a problem I tried to fix it, brought it to adults, and did everything I could to try and make it stop. but instead of keeping me safe. the teachers and principal and all the adults were focused on how punishment would affect the aggressors. I had such a horrible experience here that in my 9th grade year I wrote a 7 page narrative essay BRIEFLY summarizing everything that happened. the teacher read it and wanted to talk to me. all of this is disorganized thoughts and stories bout this place. but what I'm trying to say is that you should avoid this place. also. thank you to Mr Labrador for teaching me to be strong and refuse to take crap. thank you to Mrs Hudson for trying your best to help me. Thank you to Mr White for giving me a safe space to hide away, Thank you Mrs Maria of the YMCA for helping me return to therapy and helping me do better. and F you Jaramillo for letting this happen.

Breadsticks with ranch or tomato sauce was my lunch of choice, i hope they still have it!! Weekly monkey bars tests and timed half mile runs and capture the flag and high jumps...oh how i miss PE. Learned to make french toast and rice krispie treats and eggs in a basket in home ec!! Middle school was some of the toughest years, but De Portola made it totally worthwhile!!

The school itself is very nice. A lot of advance placement classes. The issue is the Athletic…read moredepartment. Manly the boys soccer. I have been to every JV soccer games for 2 years. If your son plays soccer do not bother having him try out. Unless he is the child of a teacher or friends with the coach your child will sit on the bench game after game. It is very sad. All of the boys should get a chance to play in the games just not practice. How are they going to learn if they just sit week after week on the bench. Not to say what that does to there self esteem. If you child plays soccer choose a different school. Or sign them up for club. Westhills boys soccer will just be a disappointment and a waste of there after school time.

The office most definitely need to be more diverse it's all Hispanic ( not good when you see no diversity in the office their the first point of contact and that speaks volumes when you enter a public arena and you see the diversity at first sight). My child has been in the school from kindergarten to current (9 years). The school does offer high standards of teaching, ( academic standards are high) zero tolerance is the standard and kept . Testing is accurate , behavioral standards are required at a high performance. Overall O'Farrell is a High performing school . TOP OF THE LINE IN EDUCATION IS PROVIDED at O'Farrell . Mrs Anderson is the best Principal she's involved and easy to communicate with. Very hands on and involved in the students and keeps the staff sharp on there toes . Awesome listener to the students and there parents needs. I'm not a fan of the lottery either for existing students, I strongly believe they should have a guaranteed spot if they've been Excellent students with Dean List and Honor roll awards. Through out there years at O'Farrell and there not a problem . Work ethic , Grades, behavior speaks volumes( all this should be a major consideration for existing students going to high school at O'FArrell) . My daughter is a high performer while navigating through the crisis we face from the COVID-19 epidemic. Mrs Anderson has hired responsible teachers that are going above and beyond to make sure the students are reaching there academic Goals. When a problem arises it's resolved immediately. Suggestions are implemented into lessons . Mr Vose is an awesome Home Base instructor who makes sure he's reachable at all times while keeping up with the students academics . I pray the high school instructors are hands on, involved mentally and I'm emotionally just as the elementary and middle school instructors. Navigating Through the crisis isn't just a word but a mission to sink or swim perish or survive while in the crisis.
