    I was a little apprehensive to put my child in a San Leandro school because I always heard negative…read morethings about the area. I grew up in Orinda which has some of the highest school rankings in the state, in my head I thought that san Leandro would never compare. I will say that my fears/ doubts got put to rest when my son started attending James Madison. Right away my son felt included and like he was part of the community.. I will say the reason that my mind changed was because of Issac's teacher, ( Mr. Baird) and ( Principal Grotke)! Principal Grotke is the kindest man, he smiles at you and has conversations with you.. he really cares about his students and the families of his students. He would also look out for the school and ask parents if they could volunteer or help in any way. Principal Grotke is a very caring, loving person... he's a very peaceful guy. He radiates peace and good energy... I know his job is tough.. I see some parents who break rules and don't follow school procedures... He has always had an optimistic disposition though... Mr. Baird has also made me appreciate this school. He is really nice, mellow, and patient... my son has learned so much from him.. My son now cares more for the environment and animals... This school is so lucky to have Principal Grotke and Mr. Baird.. it is so important that children have supportive people who can help them foster their dreams and help them aim for the stars. My son is lucky that he has crossed paths with these two wonderful people... and that they have helped him build such solid foundations.

    Looking for a place where your kid can thrive both in and out of the classroom? Well look no…read morefurther! At Woodroe Woods you immediately feel a sense of 'home' when interacting with Maria and a Becky in the office. They make registration easy and hassle free! In the preschool rooms the focus is on developmental and age appropriate explorative play in a safe, warm and encouraging environment. When you reach the Pre-K rooms, you know that your kid will be set up for success in life by creating a space that encourages learning without any pressure, but while also teaching social skills and setting boundaries. Focus is on imaginative play, freedom of choice in activities, lots of outdoor activities and each week has a clear goal. This year's art exhibit turned FUN-raiser was amazing and showcased the various styles of art and famous artist they had been studying. Special shout out to our fantastic pre-k teachers Julie and Tori for an incredible year and an amazing summer program with a new focus each week from great outdoors, to pirates, to bikes and bouncy houses and more. Can't wait to be part of the and experience the elementary program!

It went from name calling(vocabulary I didn't know kids that age had) to physical. The teacher, principle and yard duty supervisors have been made aware of the situation MULTIPLE times and NOTHING has been done to correct the situation. The principal claims to be doing all she can but does not say what and nothing shows. Most recently it escalated to these kids using my sons friends to set him up to get jumped with one of them pushing him down and putting his knee on my son's back and then stomach, making it hard for him to breath. I don't know what is going on at this school but it is a joke, not a single kid has been suspended or expelled and the principal always claims to be too busy to speak to my wife. Looking into transferring my child to a different school and will be reporting this to the district. Going to look into getting this on the news as well to expose what is going on in this school.

I have truly enjoyed knowing the many wonderful families in the community. We are all like family! The students are treasurers I am so blessed to teach!

    St. Felicitas school provides a welcoming, safe, and academically challenging setting for students…read more We have been with the school for ten years, with one child having graduated last year, and a second currently in middle school. To be clear - I don't believe there are any perfect schools. As with any community of this size, there are many differing opinions, backgrounds, and goals. Constant conversation and compromise are needed. It is for this reason that I give St. Felicitas five stars. We have had many changes and challenges over the past ten years, and in our experience the staff here is wonderfully open to feedback and conversation, which have ultimately resulted in decisions that best benefit the school community as a whole. As with all families, we have experienced a few personal tragedies over the years, including loss of family members. I truly believe that the environment at this school helped my children to face these difficult times feeling supported and safe, and helped them to heal with a trusted community. Members of our staff have also experienced very difficult family losses recently. It was incredible to see how the school came together to support these teachers, through prayer, meal planning, and bringing their families together with our community to help them heal together. St. Felicitas provides a good balance of religion and academics. Students regular attend masses and prayer services, and perform community service, such as helping to host "Young at Heart" for the older members of our parish. In middle school, students are required to perform a minimum amount of community service as part of the curriculum. Parents are also expected to volunteer a certain amount of hours during the school year, which I believe is a benefit. Through this we have formed some amazing friendships with other parents as well as the staff, and as a result truly feel that our voice is heard. As with anything in life, you get back what you put in. This is a community that believes strongly in giving back. My older child is now a freshman at St. Joseph Notre Dame in Alameda. In her first week, she was moved up from Freshman to Sophomore math as she had already mastered algebra while at St. Felicitas. SJND is an academically rigorous school. Thanks to the education she received at St. Felicitas, my child is finishing up her freshman year with a 4.2 GPA. Four of her fellow graduates also moved on to SJND. In the first semester of their freshman year, all five were recognized with "high honors", which requires a GPA greater than 3.5. St. Felicitas is not a 'fancy private school'. It is a tight-knit Catholic community of very hard-working families. If you are looking for a school where your child will learn academically, develop spiritually, learn the value of hard work, and be well prepared to move on to high school, this is the choice for you.

    This review is extremely overdue, but here it goes!…read more We enrolled our twins in the summer program (2025) to gently ease them into the school, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The director, Ms. Sarah, has been so incredibly helpful and an absolute godsend. As a parent of twins, the loading and unloading assistance (from Ms. Sarah & Ms. Martha) has been extremely helpful, especially since parking can be tricky at times. My girls were also bumped up a class after the winter break , but while in room 4 Ms Howeida, Ms.Reina & Mr. Martin were all wonderful and played an instrumental role helping our girls transition from home to daycare. Their warmth and patience made all the difference, and we are so grateful for the foundation they built for our girls. Overall, I've truly seen how much my girls have grown while there. It means a lot to me that they're given opportunities to interact with other teachers and experience different classroom environments, which really helps ease transitions. I'm just so grateful for the care, structure, and support that has helped them thrive here.

    This is a bittersweet review after more than 10 years of being part of such an amazing school…read morecommunity. Montessori San Leandro has truly been a second home for our family. Lily is ending the year with flying colors--it didn't come easy, but with the loving guidance of her teachers, she has blossomed into a confident, well-rounded, and independent student. As parents, we've never had to worry about how she's doing because we trust the strong foundation the school has built. We've seen it before with her older sister, which is exactly why we chose the same path for Lily. For families considering Montessori, it's important to understand that the learning doesn't stop at school--it continues at home. The partnership between teachers and parents makes all the difference. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Amelia and Mrs. Sarah for the 3.5 years we entrusted our last baby to you. Because of you, Lily is ready for what's next--confident, curious, and unafraid to speak up, ask questions, and think outside the box. We will truly miss all of her teachers. I'll miss the daily stories Lily would come home and share, and hearing how much she loved her teachers (especially the hugs). But I know those bonds don't just disappear--they stay with her. Montessori San Leandro will always hold a special place in our hearts. We will continue to recommend this school to our friends and even to strangers. Thank you for being such an important part of our girls' journey and for helping shape them into who they are becoming.
