Moreau has truly disappointed my son and our family. We brought into their belief that Moreau staff…read moreis here for your child. They use catch phrases like we are a community and understand that kids will make mistakes, we are pillars, we will work with your child, were here for them. Well, it turned out that it didn't apply to my son. My experience with the current leadership at Moreau I feel was very bias towards my son and wife. After serving his suspension he was not afforded a review committee board meeting as described in the student handbook 2024-2025 to review parties involved, evidence etc. The principle stated that she knows my son is a good kid but it's better for him and the Moreau community for him not be a student here at the school. Our appeal to the principal decision was summited with no response from the leadership. Per student handbook, appeals are to be submitted to the principle within 24 hrs. The principal said at that moment that appeals are handled by the school president. So, the appeal was summited again to the school president. Three days pass and my wife contacted the school president who claimed she hasn't checked her emails in the past three days and that appeals are handled by the principle. The appeal was forwarded via email back to the principle. Still no response to the appeal. My son was not allowed to return to Moreau. The principle stated she's doing my son a favor by not expelling him but instead letting me withdrawal him. Well, that hasn't turned out well for my son or family. Let me share this with everyone who reading my review. Our refund was denied because of their refund policy. We have paid over $12,000 dollars in tuition to Moreau to date for my son who only has completed 3.5 weeks of school. That's right over $12,000 for 3.5 weeks of school. This should be a crime to have the ability to do this. Moreau sites that each head count for tuition is calculated in their yearly school budget. Moreau has no regards to how their decision has financially and mentally impacted my son and our family. No regards to my family budget and finances. This is unethical that Moreau is not going to refund my son tuition. There needs to be consumer protections laws for paying families at private schools such as Moreau Catholic High. Parents who currently have kids enrolled at Moreau need to question the business office about tuition insurance for consumer protection. The super sad part about all of this is Moreau touts' community but don't live up to it. My wife submitted an addendum to the appeal letter explaining how much we are involved in the Moreau and Oakland Diocese community. The school principal and president apparently don't care that I'm highly known and respected in the cyo track and field community. The school principal and president don't care that I help coach Ben with the track team some years ago at Moreau. The school principal and president don't care that some of your best student athletes have been impacted by my coaching and mentoring. The school principal and president don't care about all the voluntary work my wife has done at my son middle catholic school prior to Moreau. The school principal and president don't care that many families currently that have kids enrolled at Moreau know of the contributions me and wife have done in the community. Just a pointed fact public school students have more protected student rights than private school students who pay tuition. Nonetheless, I'm seeking legal counsel.

It's been about 3.5 years since I wrote my original review of Moreau Catholic High School. I wrote…read morethe original review within the first or second month of my son attending the school. Now both my son and daughter attend and I have a good knowledge of most of the sports, activities, clubs, teachers, faculty, etc. Overall our experience has been top notch, it truly is the best High School in South Alameda County. We have been so pleased with the staff and faculty and we have seen such a renovation boom with new the sports field, bleachers, sound system, scoreboard, etc. They've modernized the campus theatre, and now they are in the process of renovating the individual class rooms. It's amazing to see things change so fast, right before your eyes. My son had some difficulty his sophomore year with a couple of subjects and his counselors were "On It", they worked with him with special tutoring after school and co-lab's. They made sure he didn't slip through the cracks, my wife and I were amazed and grateful for the outpouring of attention when they see a student struggling. He's back on track, thanks to the staff, and is prepared for college next year. Now, is everything, (as Mary Poppins said) "Practically Perfect in Every Way"? No, we had a couple of teachers who tested our nerves, the cost of a private education has made me sweat bullets once or twice and I have not agreed with everything the upper management of the school has done, but overall I'd give the school a 95% out of 100. There is always room for improvement and it's continuing to be a great experience. If you can afford it and you wish for your children to attend one of the better colleges or universities in the country, you can't beat the higher education model of Moreau Catholic.

I would not recommend that any child attend this school…read more This school is unsafe and dangerous for children, as there is no punishment for bullying. We are new to this area, and my 7th grader was assaulted in the bathroom during PE by a student much larger than him. My son reported it to the counselors and principal and they did nothing. He was afraid to return to school because they would not suspend or expel the student who attacked him. In the end, we had to homeschool our child for the rest of the school year. When we mentioned not bringing our child back to school, the principal (Seana Condit) was only concerned about him missing state testing. She has zero concern for the safety of children at this school. The student who assaulted my son is still on campus.

Not only that, one of the staff members, Ms. Campbell,the campus supervisor, not to be confused with the African American Literature teacher, was blackmailing kids into getting her food. Whenever these kids would DoorDash food onto to campus she would let them go UNLESS they gave her something,her. and when they didn't she snitched them out. I am disgusted how she treats students. Not only are you just being fat, but you are using blackmail for your own benefit. Not only that, she had kids to try and bully a special needs kids MULTIPLE times. Once she locked him out of the lunchroom. He was knocking on the window and kicking the door. She did nothing but just let it go on. I don't know how you got her on staff but you should most definitely consider firing her.

Chavez was a very ghetto little middle school in my years. There was a lock down at least once a…read moremonth. Little 7th graders getting into fights with 8th graders. I remember in the 7th grade they had to cut classes short and evacuate the school due to a rumble (you can guess how long ago this was by the use of the word "rumble" lol) at Tennyson High down the street that was expected to move all the way down to chavez. Everybody's parents were notified and you had kids getting picked up early. When you're a kid in middle school, any excuse to leave school early or even just stop and not do class work sounds like a party but for the parents this might be troublesome. The diversity of students at this school is definitely a strong point. The student body is made up of mostly latinos so you see a bunch of asian kids running around saying bad words in Spanish. Hey at least you can say your kid's bilingual now lol

This school seems more focused on deciding which students to punish rather than actually addressing…read morethe real problem of drug use on campus. Everyone knows drug use is unfortunately common in many high schools, yet instead of focusing on prevention, education, or helping students make better choices, the administration appears quick to move toward severe disciplinary action like expulsion. Rather than working with families and supporting students who may need guidance, the response feels rushed and punitive. Schools should be focused on creating a safe environment and preventing these issues in the first place, not simply reacting after the fact by removing students. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this school.

Dr. Malanie Harris is incompetent and inefficient. She also took months to respond to my complaint…read morewhich is in regard to one of her esteemed colleagues, Ms. Estrada at Tennyson High School. I believe Ms Harris to be bias in her reports and in her investigations. She is unwelcoming and takes a very long time to respond if at all. She is unfamiliar with student policies and divisions. She also was unable to adhere to State and Federal regulations. As well as uninformed of the Department of Education laws and procedures. She claimed, that is another departments process. I attempted to also contact Ms. Wu however is busy "acting" again as - interim superintendent meanwhile Dr. Jason Reimans investigations has ceased. We filed our complaint to the OCR's and have received a response from the attorney to process their investigation. We will contact news media and bring attention to these concerns and violations from the District in regard to my students health, education, and violations of the Federal laws. I will be pulling our student by the end of this week. We are concerned for our safety, and well being since this has been going on for the last three years. The staff have neglected their responsibilities, and violated laws of a protected student who is designated under the Disabilites Act, section 504.

I didn't see any parking lot for visitors, so there was only street parking. There was barely any parking, so I had to park really far. I also had to make an appointment for fingerprinting, and they only offered a few time slots per day. The receptionist was nice and directed me to the correct floor. When I arrived to the HR department for fingerprinting, they took forever (~20 minutes) getting things set up (which I didn't know since they just took my information and left for a really long time, so I had no idea what was going on in the back). However, when the lady came back, everything was smooth from there. She was very polite and I was out of the building right afterwards.

**"**As a former student who attended this school with my two brothers from 2019 to 2023, our…read moreexperience was incredibly isolating and painful. Within our first few weeks after transferring, my older high school brother was called the N-word by a fellow student. As middle schoolers, my other brother and I had to witness that, while constantly feeling a heavy, quiet hostility from parents who didn't want us to be friends with their kids just because we were among the few Black faces in the room. The students were mostly passive, but the constant microaggressions about my hair and the casual, stereotype-driven biases made it exhausting to just exist there. After George Floyd's murder, the school put on a performance of having conversations about American racism, but it felt empty--they did absolutely nothing to actually protect or support the few Black students they already had. I wouldn't wish the loneliness and anxiety of my time there on anyone. I am profoundly grateful to the few staff members who genuinely cared and tried to protect us after my brother was called a slur. But I fear nothing has truly changed, and I refuse to stay silent while another Black or minority student risks going through the same pain we did. I expect a response to this review, and I am entirely open to a direct dialogue with the superintendent to discuss how the school actually plans to fix this culture.
