Biggest issue currently is superintendent/principal, vice principal and front office. If you are low income you are treated horribly. I admit I've made my mistakes and won't ever deny it.

Arguments between staff and principle, not a positive environment to educate children. teachers are pushy and bossy. I witnessed a teacher yelling at a parent, parent was crying, child in view.

Complaints of no money for services, obviously mismanaged money and fraud!

There is a phrase that gets overused these days but is no less true in this instance: Game Changer…read more This school has been an absolute game changer for our family. We started with the preschool (which I encourage any family to try) and fell in love with the educational philosophy, the classmates and their families, the campus, and what our own family has become. If you are looking for a preschool stop your search now, it's absolutely wonderful. Continuing into grade school might be something to evaluate, but the preschool is a no-brainer.

I brought my children to Live Oak 20 years ago, moving to the foothills from Davis where my oldest…read morehad attended Davis Waldorf. She entered 3rd grade, my son started Kindergarten, and my littles were still... little. Since then, all four of my children graduated from Live Oak and have moved on to become heart-centered, insightful, intelligent adults. Through family ups and downs (including the loss of my husband), the Live Oak community has been the solid rock under our feet. In fact, my children often remark when they think of "home" or their "home town," they think of Live Oak Waldorf School.

Rock Creek School in Auburn, CA is an amazing place! Dropping off your children for the day will be…read morea warm and welcoming experience. You will be greeted by smiling staff and joined by families holding hands, sharing culture and learning together. The office staff are so kind to the children, each other, and are there to offer any support parents/caregivers might need. Administration is on point, they have open doors and professionally deal with any issues that arise. The teachers are good, honest people who not only care about your child's education but also guide them in becoming good citizens of our community. Teachers are always open to feedback, new ideas, volunteers, and working with parents to continue education at home. We have loved our time at Rock Creek School and feel blessed for they hard work that is done there every day. Plus, they have a Boys & Girls Club right there on campus!

Here is a school that is much needed in the Auburn area…read more If you don't want the public school atmosphere, check out Bluedoor. Students can attend fulltime or just take a class as needed. They offer a-g core classes plus theater, art classes, etc. It's an in-person learning environment two days per week (set up much like college courses) that offers online access to most of the curriculm with the option in some classes to purchase the physical text book. The teachers are good, and some are frankly excellent. No muss, no fuss. It's just about educating your child. The teachers are approachable and responsive, and this is true for all grades (K-12), but I mention it because my son is in high school and although he is getting more mature I still am involved in his education. I like that I can email the teachers and ask whatever I need to ask and get a response quickly. (I say this because my friend's son attends a local highly regarded charter school and the parent emailed one of his teachers. The teacher responded that the student needed to talk to him; that's it - the teacher didn't answer any questions or provide any helpful feedback to the parent. Fast forward a few months and the parent emailed that same teacher again, and the teacher never responded. I mean seriously, this isn't college, these kids aren't 18 or even 17 years old yet, and parents are still responsible for their own kid and their education. !!!!) Bluedoor doesn't have their own organized sports teams, but some community sports organizations come to recruit students to join their teams. This last semester girls tried out for a womens volleyball club. Bluedoor is located at the old Alta Vista School site, which is wonderful. It's a typical school campus with normal kids going from class to class and getting a good education. Just a side note: We watched the most recent theater performance by the Theater Students a couple weekends ago, and man was it fantastic! I was impressed with the acting, the sets, the lighting, and how professional everything was. It was amazing. I swear, the teachers at Bluedoor are The Best.

Although my son never had any issues with his teachers and had a positive experience participating…read morein athletics, those positives weren't enough to outweigh the school's larger issues. The biggest concern is the lack of stable leadership. The school can't seem to retain principals, and the constant turnover creates inconsistency for students, teachers, and families. It's difficult to build a strong school culture when leadership is always changing. I believe the school is on their 9th principal in 6yrs. This is a major red flag and a huge concern about what the board is doing behind the closed doors For the tuition families pay, the quality of education simply doesn't meet expectations. Many of the school's strongest educators have already left/retired or are nearing retirement, and it raises concerns about the future of the academic program. Another major concern is the Board of Directors' involvement in day-to-day school operations. I've never heard of board members walking around campus writing up students for behavior--that responsibility belongs to school administrators, not the governing board. It blurs the lines between governance and management and creates confusion about who is actually leading the school. It's also concerning that board members appear to be making significant educational decisions despite having little or no professional background in education or business. Families entrust the school with their children's education and expect those decisions to be guided by experienced educational leadership. My son made great memories with his teachers and teammates, and I'm grateful for those experiences. Unfortunately, the school's leadership, governance, and overall educational value make it difficult for me to recommend it to other families. The school is located in a beautiful area and has great potential to thrive and be amazing. But it needs a new leadership and new board and for Lori Kirk to fully step away from this school. I would seriously speak to other families who have left the school prior to investing thousands of dollars into your child's education I've had 2 children attend this school. One left to Del Oro for stronger academics and AP classes and the other one graduated FLC in 2026
