    My daughter has attended Kitayama since Kindergarten and she is now in the 3rd grade. This really is an amazing school. The facility itself is modular buildings, that are spread out in different wings. Very easy to get around and every class room and the office are clearly marked. Street parking is fine and available during the day if you are volunteering. It's the standard "bedlam" at normal drop off and pick up times but I think every school is that way since there are no school busses available. All the teachers and office staff that I have interacted with are very warm and welcoming and I feel take a genuine interest in the student and parents! They provide so many free activities for the family, we look forward to the movie nights most of all! I look forward to my daughters next 2 years and can't wait to bring my preschooler to kinder next year! Go Bears!

    We chose this school as we had not heard or read good reviews of our local public school…read more He has the best time at the school and is excited to go. He saw great growth during his time there. The teachers and staff care for the students and are very competent. The let the kids express themselves and let their personalities shine. It is easily one of the better schools in Union city.

    Let me start with the positive side of this school. Most of the class teachers are super nice!…read more Our child has been in this school for 5+ years and came across all the wonderful teachers. Per my child, most of the students are friendly and from good educational families. We are giving 3 stars for class teachers and their teaching skills. But there are several negatives about this school. Even though all parents knows about it we can't do nothing. We are not able to switch to another school as there are no better options at this location. Negatives: 1. They raise their monthly fees every year but they don't improve any quality to their services. My kid always complains about spider webs in the bathrooms and it's always very dirty. So, he refuses go to bathroom and holds for whole day. 2. No extra curricular activities like sports tournaments like running, soccer, basketball, table tennis or any competitive events for building children's physical and mental strengths. 3. No fun events; students should have singing and dancing, cultural events, talent show, etc. 4. No sports equipments provided to students; they could have provided at least these basic sports equipments: PingPong tables, chess boards, soccer balls, basketballs, volleyballs, etc. So, kids can have fun on recess time or after school time. We hope school administration will take necessary action work on it to improve.

    OMG!! I love this school so much. Great place to go to if you want your transition to college,…read moreacceptances to good colleges, great high school experience, or even your overall life to turn around. The counselors here are very friendly, the system here is so flexible, and the teachers here are very nice and lenient with grading. I transferred into this school 2nd week of junior year and graduated from here in 2025. Ron Polk, Mrs. Dutra, Ms. Gutierrez, and Mr. Quintana are the best staff here. There are great programs you can enroll in, like ICL, Forensics, ROP, Marketing & Management, and stuff. If you are chill, join clubs and extracurriculars, you can easily make lots of friends. I recommend you join Forensics. It's the speech and debate program here at Logan, and Mr.Kurup, the director of it, is the best! If you live in north Fremont, like near Ardenwood or Northgate, Logan isn't that far. NHUSD is very flexible about inter-district transfers. Just avoid hanging out with the gangsters, and even classes with certain teachers like Mrs. Sekar and Mr. Farzad. Last thing, before I forget, the Union City Library is right across the street. Moreover, there's also Bart and hella good food in the plaza across Meyers Dr. There's McD, Suju's, Taco Bell, Boba places, and even some Chinese food. I've never seen a true change in my life until I went to this school. I was able to get into SJSU for CS just because of this school.

    Firstly, Ron Polk is truly the best principal ever!…read more This school is unique, lovely, friendly, full of opportunities and support everything you need to succeed is here if you take advantage of it. Don't take it for granted! If you're new, don't be afraid this is a diverse, welcoming place where you can be yourself, meet great people, and create long lasting memories. Just remember to surround yourself with the right friends, stay focused, and make the most out of your time here.

Our child has grown so much socially, emotionally, and academically since joining their class.
