Attending Bernal Intermediate School sometimes feels less like going to school and more like…read moreparticipating in a daily test of endurance. From the moment you walk onto campus, the atmosphere can feel chaotic and exhausting. The hallways flood with crowds of students trying to get to class before the bell, turning something as simple as walking down the hall into what feels like navigating rush-hour traffic. The classrooms often feel outdated and uncomfortable, with harsh fluorescent lights and desks that seem designed to make every minute stretch on forever. The bell schedule marches forward with no mercy, and by the middle of the day it can feel like time itself has slowed down. Lunch is another adventure entirely. The cafeteria can be crowded and loud, and the food sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. Many students end up wondering whether it's better to eat quickly or just wait until they get home. On top of all that, the overall environment can feel stressful, with constant noise, drama, and pressure that makes the day feel longer than it should. By the time the final bell rings, many students leave campus feeling less like they've had a productive day of learning and more like they've survived a very long one. If school is supposed to be a place that inspires curiosity and excitement, this experience unfortunately feels more like the opposite. Hopefully improvements can be made in the future so students can actually enjoy their time here instead of simply counting down the minutes until the day ends.

Went here probably 13 years ago and have a bunch of awesome memories of it despite the fact that I…read morewas super emo during that time period here (for no reason other than being at the right age for puberty), lacked self confidence and didn't know my place in life (socially-speaking). I recall the school principle wearing red boots that me and my friends called hooker heels. I remember the history/PE teacher (his name I will not disclose) writing in his notebook on the school roof while we did our physical exercises. Me and my friends would come up with emo/"profound" lines he might have been writing in his notebook. We also thought he was super mean and heartless because he'd make us run our 1/2 mile (4 days out of the 5 days) and 1 mile (1 day of the 5 days) even in the rain. As an Asian kid with a superstitious grandma, I thought I was going to for sure get sick! My friends and I were also certain that he was having an affair with the Asian secretary (?) at school. He would also flirt with the good-looking moms during school field trips. I also remember my creepy Spanish teacher who bragged a lot about his daughter and who always got chalk on his butt from leaning on the board. I had a good-looking female math teacher who ran a lot of marathons and an English teacher with a dog who had to wear diapers because of his uncontrollable bowel movements. She used my posters as the class example for how posters should look like because she favored me. I could turn in lower quality work and not get docked points for it. I learned about my love for cooking after taking a foods course here in the 7th grade. Our first recipe was rice krispy treats and our 2nd was for muffins. I also took a ceramics class with a hippie-dippie quirky teacher who turned a Simon and Garfunkel song into a "score and slip" ceramics-related song.

I have to be honest. I didn't had the best start at ST. As with SJSU, I won't review the…read moreenvironment. So I just list the pros and cons. Pros: - Teachers that really helped through this high school were Ms. Rice, Mr. O'brien, Mr. Shank, Ms. Martinson, and Ms. Milner (who doesn't work here anymore). - The Key club, Anime club, Interact Club, and Camp Everytown club were very welcoming. - I was able to take a school bus to the high school from where I live. Only for students with disabilities though. Cons: - The counseling was horrible. They had me started in both ESL and Special Ed courses for my first year, which I felt that I did not really need to be in. This made me behind a year from my class. Also, they made it hard for me to switch around my classes. - I couldn't take enrichment for some of my courses during the summer because they were not offered due to the budget cuts. Community college was the only option. - Writing Tutoring was hard to come by. - Math Tutoring was only available on certain days when the teacher was available. - The library was often close. So I had to study in one of my teachers' classrooms. - Having your ID out on your neck was mandatory. - The alternate schedules where you didn't know when you are going to have a certain class during that day. Overall, it was a okay school. I only made connections with a few people after the 2009 graduation.

My child can put on his own jacket, write letters/numbers, knows how to do some basic math & sings all day long! He used to be extremely shy, but now he's opened up so much. He comes home and tells us that Ms Naila helps him at school. What parent doesn't want hear that?? We are keeping our fingers crossed that Ms Naila will be our child's summer program teacher. Overall, tuition is a little hefty, but we are happy with his development under Ms Naila's care.

You can find some great teachers and administrators in every district, the difference in Oak Grove is that they work with precision to provide the tools and strategies to make an impact where it matters most, in the classroom. With 12 schools receiving the award for CORE Academic Growth and student scores continuing to exceed the state, I think that speaks for itself.

I think from the district perspective a full evaluation needs to take place. I have spoke to several people there at the district and all I'm doing is getting the runaround.

My daughter is wrapping up the third grade at ACDS. Our family has been with the school since her…read morefirst grade year. It's interesting to note how I just mentioned "our family" in reference to ACDS, because it's true - from the start it never felt like it was just my daughter being welcomed into a classroom. My husband and I were also ushered into a community of parents, children, teachers, administrators, and staff that truly are a community. This sense of familiarity and care, right from the start, was welcome. We looked at ACDS for my daughter after having been with a couple of other schools in the region that seemed to emphasize academics above all else. Academics are of course important, but I also wanted my daughter to have the chance to play and explore other possible interests. ACDS has a full complement of enrichment and extracurricular activities. Science, art, drama, music, you name it. There's a choir and a band. And every year every grade puts on a theater production, which I'm hoping next year can be done in the brand new Event Center. When school closed for COVID in March of last year, ACDS was ready for it. They moved their entire educational program online within a matter of 3 days, and it has been going strong ever since. When the school reopened for in-person learning in the fall, they continued the remote learning option alongside it. My daughter is presently the only child left online in her class, though she will be returning to school next week. Her teacher has been in close touch with me to make sure that she feels included and supported. The real gift is that my daughter has felt she is an active and important part of the community no matter where she physically is in relation to the school. And speaking of the teachers, wow! Dedicated and enthusiastic sound cliche but I assure they are not. The thought and energy they put into their lessons, especially even across two learning platforms, is phenomenal. If they had a high school, I would be planning to send my daughter. But for now I will just enjoy the stellar preparation she is getting for whatever step she chooses next.

Unfortunately, they do not live out their promises to develop the whole child or at least not with every child. There is a nationwide mental health crisis and this school's answer is to hire unqualified teachers to play the role of school counselors. In the middle school there are a large number of kids coming out of TLC with complex learning needs and no learning specialist? So, they respond by punishing kids as often as possible with frivolous write ups and suspensions. My kid was unhappy by the end of their 8th grade year, scared of teachers and emboldened administrators, and we couldn't do anything. They were heartbroken to see how many of their peers cowered and just tried to get through the day and not get written up.
