In Saturday school the children have options to do crafts, cooking, sewing, art, and other activities that they do not get to do in school. They are currently building a new office and classrooms the construction is coming along beautifully. The yard monitors are always supervising and helping the students. All in all this is a wonderful school for elementary aged students

We absolutely fell in love with all the kindergarten teachers and really appreciated the fact that for the first two weeks they had a KinderCamp during which the kids had the opportunity to spend time with all three teachers and meet all of their kinder peers (they mixed them up into different groups every day). This solidified their sense of a larger community and the school's PBL commitment to collaboration. The after care program on campus run by the YMCA is also wonderful - a great mix of learning and enrichment, creative arts, physical activities and sports, playtime, and community. Like others have said, kids here develop a love and excitement for learning, and are empowered to ask their own questions and find their own answers to real world issues (rather than to simply be told, and to "learn" by rote memorization). They also develop a sense of teamwork and accountability through collaboration on group projects. In addition they are encouraged to develop their communication skills through group presentations - even in kinder! I am excited for my introverted kiddos to build their confidence and spread their wings! I'm a former bilingual elementary school teacher, career counselor, lawyer and now work in professional development at a law firm, and PBL reminds me of the graduate business school approach to learning, which I love. We have had to offer mini-MBA style courses to our most senior attorneys to help them develop the same skills that kids at Roosevelt are learning to master from Day One, and continue to strengthen those skills all the way through 8th grade! We also love the wonderful diversity of the school - our kids are meeting families from all parts of our city. It's important to us that our kids grow up with families from all walks of life, and see and treat everyone as equals in society. The uniforms are a wonderful plus, reducing any concerns less fortunate kids may have about who has nicer clothes, and easier in the morning! The district does a Kindergarten information night in October which is super helpful, and Roosevelt has its own info night at which you can talk to current parents (this was in the evening, with childcare, and we brought our kids) and learn more about the PBL program from the teachers and principal. We went to both, plus the daytime tour so we could see the kids in action - they were all so happy and confident at all grade levels (in contrast, one of the schools - our "higher ranking" home school - only allowed us to stand quietly at the back of the Kindergarten rooms, we weren't allowed to interact with the students or teachers, or to see the other grades). We were extremely impressed. We had the option of going to schools with higher scores and in more affluent neighborhoods (including our home school), but after extensive research, tours, and speaking with many parents, we knew Roosevelt was the best fit for our family. I went to a mix of public and private schools, and my husband went to public schools, and we both believe in the public school system and the district's commitment to our children. We believe that the RCSD has made leaps and bounds overall since the last scores were released (and since the first Yelper posted his review in 2012). On a side note re scores, I randomly sat next to member of the school board at a local business one day and we struck up conversation, and she shared with me that although Roosevelt's scores may appear lower than other schools on places like Great Schools (which is based on outdated data), their 8th graders actually test neck and neck with Northstar and Cloud. Bottom line - Roosevelt rocks, and we have a awesome (and growing) community of engaged families who work closely with the teachers, administration, staff and students to make our school the best it can be for every single one of our children.

Roosevelt is a small school with better student to teacher ratios than much of the bay area. The teachers seem to have so much more concern for the kids than our previous location and treat each child as a valued member of the community. Parents are very involved with this school and the various parent groups sponsor several activities and functions throughout the year. The principal, Mr Hills, makes it a point to know each child by name and is VERY accessible to parents and listens to issues and concerns with an open mind. Instead of being some stuffy bureaucrat behind a desk, he seems to be involved in every aspect of running this school, is accountable and seems comfortable in his own skin. This is a good place for kids to come and learn as both of my children going here are really flourishing. The older of the two never really had a decent teacher until this year and was getting increasingly frustrated with school. Under his teacher, he is really having a good year and takes pride in his schoolwork. It is amazing what a difference a year makes.

Many of them wear name brands, carry elitest attitudes, overly competitive, and are spoiled rotten. There is also a very darkside of Convent where many of the children excessively drink and do drugs. However, Convent itself is a very excellent school. The education is great and i suggest sending your child here if they are level headed and are strong. Its not the school for everyone, but the students that can handle the other girls here will receive an excellent education and be taught skills that no other schools will teach. Convent has a lot to offer such as all the discounted broadway and baseball game tickets that the school receives and the discounted dances. Ms. Curran and Mr. Grant are also very supportive and try to make the school as pleasant of a school to be at as possible. So i suggest, if you are sure you're daughter can handle the other girls whether it be a pelasant experience or not, send them here. you can be sure they'll be well educated.

Really amazing administration and leadership - very active in building connections and on going projects between the boys and girls. They all know each other. My children have so many resources - reading specialists, math specialists, etc - that allow for differentiated learning within the classroom. For example, it is common for children in the same class to be learning at different math levels. While we are not religious, my favorite thing about the school is their global approach. The children are very educated about current events, world religions, world languages (Spanish, French, Mandarin, Latin), art, and music (Music Conservatory program). While academics and teachers are top notch, the global approach and emphasis on school community is very impressive. We love the school and all our kids are thriving! Also, great sports program!

We have also participated in their summer camp the last two summers! We hope our son will follow the same trajectory. Teagan absolutely thrives at Broadmoor. The play-based curriculum is something I can truly get behind. As a school-based occupational therapist, I understand that play is the primary occupation of children, and we need to honor where they are developmentally. At Broadmoor, we play hard, get messy, sing silly songs, and climb high. We place value on the process and the discovery instead of the outcome. It doesn't matter how pretty the artwork or the cooking project is. What matters is how engaged the child was during the process. Did they explore using all their senses? Did they problem-solve? Did they find it fun and meaningful? With child-directed play and five engaging stations that change daily, the answer is always YES! This is a parent participation preschool, but that is perhaps the very best part. At first the commitment might seem daunting, but it is completely doable. We are a dual income household, and we still find time to fulfill our commitment at Broadmoor. My husband and I have learned so much at parent ed nights; we usually switch off as there are two per month. These sessions have helped us become more caring, mindful, and playful parents. Being part of this strong community reminds you that it truly does take a village to raise our little ones. I greatly value the insight and friendship of my fellow Broadmoor parents. We get together for birthdays and play dates, a moms' night out, a fundraiser. We learn, grow, and bond with one another and with all the children at the school. On my workday at Broadmoor, it is very common to have two little snuggle bunnies on my lap. I love the other children at Broadmoor as much as I love my own. Being a part of Broadmoor has given me an even greater appreciation for the work that teachers do. We had the pleasure of working with directors Dale and Colleen for our daughter's first year of preschool; they retired after 20 years. This year, two former teachers and previous/current parents of Broadmoor have stepped up to the plate, and the experience has been fantastic! We love teachers Liz and Kacia. They are incredibly warm and inviting, fun, and full of great ideas and advice! Come be part of our community! You will love it!
