We spoke to the principal a few times regarding our child's safety concerns and issues that were happening at school and those bullies continued to escalate their bullying behavior. Those bullies are in fourth grade and I would never recommend for you to put your kids in that school. Those mean bullies run the school by putting down other kids, pushing them and horrible language. They also disrespect the staff and principal. I would be careful because kids are safe on campus. Good luck.

Moloana whatever her name is mentally abused me I was like 6 years old I would go to school and just be punished for just being a kid I didn't yell scream or touch anything not even cuss words just for being a kid that's all oh and Mr Priscilla the principal was a psycho but when the principal change it was the best thing for the school to have I remember this school was weird in my time. And the 4th grade teacher ms.wooder was a scum b$g I don't get it growing up I realized teaching in a elementary school isn't that difficult as my job it's a shame since I moved to Brentwood schools were so much better and bullying here sucked to many fights

His friends who attend other schools are getting C's and saying the work is too hard to get an A. My son was taught the fundamentals that started with John Muir. My daughter is a 4.0 student. She reads 1 hour per day, every day. She also plays the piano for 50 minutes every day. My wife at times will help with the class. I find teachers want to come to teach at John Muir leaving their teaching jobs from such areas as Concord and Danville. This says a lot in my book. Most of the teachers do not put up with disturbance from the child. Some parents do not like this because they want babysitters, not teachers. I see some parents going through the motions like they are involved, but they are more involved with Facebook and talking gossip. I must admit, I too sometime get drawn in, but I stop it when my children are invovled. John Muir and the staff are among the best you will ever find. If you want them to challenge your child so that he may be ready for college, they will. If you want them to babysit, well, maybe this school is not for you.

I came to know this school through the Bay Church, but my experience left me disillusioned. The…read morestaff and teachers may claim to be Christian, yet their actions often reflect the opposite. Judgment is constant, cliques run deep, and teachers play favorites while showing little patience for children. Instead of encouraging growth, they silence voices and push kids to mature too quickly. The endless fundraising became unbearable--it seemed like every week brought another demand for money. And the Class Dojo app, which should have been a simple communication tool, turned into something that felt more like Instagram. I eventually deleted it out of frustration. What's most troubling is the disconnect between what's preached and what's practiced. Faith is spoken, but not lived. As Matthew 7:20 reminds us, "By their fruit you will recognize them." Parents deserve to see the reality: behind the polished image, this school fosters hypocrisy and division, not the values it claims to uphold.

Our family's experience with the preschool program at this school was exceptional. The preschool…read moreteacher and the program coordinator were warm and had a collaborative spirit. Kudos to the preschool program for making our child's early learning experience positive and enriching. We were very pleased with everything! Unfortunately, our experience following preschool did not meet the same standard. We observed a big shift in the approaches the school used. We had concerns about a lack of cultural sensitivity and limited willingness to engage collaboratively with parents. The disciplinary actions seemed developmentally inappropriate and punitive for young children still learning about social-emotional skills and impulsiveness. During meetings, we also encountered interactions with team members that felt dismissive and unpleasant. I lost faith in open, constructive conversations about our child's needs and progress. However, I think their academics were decent and appropriate for my child---my child performed well. Unfortunately, our child's teacher utilizes TikTok to post disparaging comments about parents. It was unprofessional and damaging to the sense of trust between them and us. My child's classroom environment also appeared overly focused on rule enforcement and behavior management through tools like ClassDojo. There was a lack of emphasis on teaching self-regulation or emotional growth. We hope the school will continue to build upon its strong preschool foundation and revisit its approach in kindergarten to support the holistic needs of its students better.
