    As an alumnus (1959 - 1967), I'm disappointed that the school has chosen trendiness over substance…read more I will not give my opinion on teaching "the gender non-binary" to second graders. But I will note that parents seem to be afraid of giving their opinions, which was certainly not the case when I attended the school. In second grade, my teacher Miss Williams read "The Princess and the Goblin" to us. There was no question that the school was patriotic and valued a classical education. Today the decision makers claim that the school is just following the vision of its founders, who emphasized educating "the whole student." But I doubt that the founders would approve of what the school is doing today. The insincere virtue signaling that pretends to be social justice is not a grass-roots phenomenon but rather a fashionable elite pose that allows the unjust to pretend they care when they really do not. Imposing this on children can only be described as a travesty. The parents are trapped because it's the powers above them who have imposed this on the rest of us, and careers and reputations are at stake. Instead of socially engineering students, my alma mater needs to get back to teaching the basics and treating students as the unique individuals they are rather than as representatives of groups. The motto of the school when I went there was "A spirit always surging." Today, I would say "cringing" is a more accurate description.

The environment is friendly, fun, supportive, and progressive. The facilities are fantastic, and there is ongoing construction and improvements happening. There is an emphasis on the overall child, not just academics. If your child is lucky enough to have Doug Zesiger as their teacher, I have nothing to say but the best things about him. It is sad to see Dierdre leave, though - as she has been fantastic :( Step-up day was a moving experience, and it was so cool to see the 8th graders 'stepping down', and stomping their feet when the kindergarteners 'stepped up.' It was a very memorable day! I know it sounds like I am going on about this school, but I really can not imagine a better environment for my children. There really was nothing negative I can say at all about this year. I know a few parents had gripes about the bus and after school offerings, but that is maybe all I can even think of (very minor in my opinion). We applied to a number of independent schools in San Francisco and Southern Marin and were accepted to all, but MCDS was our top and standout choice. We couldn't be happier after our first year and without hesitation highly recommend this school. I have no doubt this school is one of the best in not only the Bay Area, but in the country.

Despite all the media attention, I want Sausalito Marin City School District (SMCSD) to become one big happy family again ~ harmony! Now that Tara Seekins is at the helm, I couldn't fathom a more passionate and caring individual to take on this huge task of Head of School. She is one amazing woman! Willow Creek Academy (WCA) is a melting pot of families, extremely diverse, and many languages are spoken at home. It's a community that cares and parents who work full-time will always make time for their kids; they know how to balance life. At the end of the day, what's more important than your family (not really a question)! Kids thrive in this environment, from inside the classroom to learning outdoors. The field trips are unique and caters to all grades. I grew up in the SF Unified School District, and I told myself once I have kids, they will attend Marin schools to become more well-rounded. As diverse as SF is, most of the schools were segregated when I attended i.e., Mission district, Richmond district, Sunset district, Excelsior district, Marina district, etc. Most of the kids I went to school within the avenues were Asian and extremely competitive. Forget field trips in the city, we didn't go on many - it's too darn cold! Marin schools have bonafide Chefs. Kids attending SMCSD are super lucky to cook with Chef "G", and they take classes at the Cavallo Point Cooking School, filled with top-notch culinary equipment and bountiful organic offerings from our backyard (literally)! WCA is highly recommended for parents looking for diversity, energetic staff & faculty, knowledgeable teachers, small classes, and a sense of loving community!

    I'd really like to see this school succeed, but I ended up pulling my child out due to many reasons…read more- lower academic standards, lack of parental involvement, undisciplined children, etc. The small percentage of parents who are involved are great. But for the most part I found lots of behavioral issues which hindered the classroom and learning process.

    This school exhibits cult-like practices and raises serious concerns about student welfare. The…read moremajority of students are white, and there appears to be unequal treatment between staff and children--for example, teachers wear shoes while students are not permitted to do so. There are significant concerns regarding child safety, emotional wellbeing, and the overall quality of education, particularly given the high cost of attendance. The environment feels judgmental and unwelcoming. The school does not accept or support all children equally, which directly contradicts the values it claims to promote. Several children are turned away after being quickly judged and denied the opportunity to attend--even when they genuinely love the school. The potential emotional impact of this kind of rejection on a child is serious and appears to be disregarded. For an institution that presents itself as nurturing and values-based, this lack of compassion is troubling. I am not impressed with this "private" school. They should practice what they preach and prioritize helping all children succeed. Staff behavior often comes across as self-centered rather than truly child-focused.

It always comes down to money/race and adult-driven politics, which is sad. It's really about our kids and that's all it matters. I have multi-racial kids to teach the world to see only one race "the human race"! Stop all this non-sense, and let's get along for the sake of our kids and our future! It's not about Willow Creek Academy (WCA) being more affluent, as I remember the days when Bayside was apart of WCA - one big happy family! WCA welcomes all families and numerous Bayside/MLK students attend WCA 'til this day. There's no bias and no segregation! My kids also love the MLK/Bayside campus; they've participated in countless extra-curricular activities and attended summer classes. I do believe if there's more parent involvement, it will make a huge difference in our child(ren) achieving stellar grades and becoming a stellar athlete/leader. I can attest to not seeing enough parent involvement from Marin City parents whose kids attend WCA. The parents don't step up to drive on fieldtrips, chaperone, or simply volunteer...always the same handful of parents. It takes a village, so we must all do our part. Let's break bread on September 29th and start fresh!

Hmmmm...maybe now, their school board will start treating Bayside MLK children, as well as they treat Willow Creek Academy children, regardless of their ethnicity, socio-economic status, or skin color. We're about fifty years post the American Civil Rights Movement, and racial indifference and discrimination is still alive and well. Call it what it is, people. It's time for positive change, for our children's sake!!
