A public school with a community garden, library and makerspace! I can't say enough good things about this school. The teachers are amazing, like New York Times article, amazing. And the way they teach math and reading is so different from the way I grew up. I think the best part about this school is the community. Maybe it's because all of the teachers come from Teach For America or ASU teaching program but they all really care about the kids and are super knowledgeable.
As a vegan and science geek, I love that this public school actually teaches science and fun things like gardening. That's really hard to find nowadays. So if you're looking for a school where your kid is going to get great foundational skills and a well-rounded experience I would choose Solano. They just really care about teaching kids how to "care for others" and care about their learning. And also they have cool educational materials for kids to learn new skills, like a 3D printer. read more
