Disappointing... the principal is not an advocate for the children,she works against the parents that try to support and protect the child against bullies.

Outstanding, they helped bring our 7 year old out of his shell. In the past he has been withdrawn & not engaging with other kids, this has all changed.

Transitional kindergarten here is play-based, but the academic progress of our child was as impressive as the social skills gained. Parents love this school for its pretty seamless diversity; the personalized attention allowed by its small size; the pastoral feel of its creek and playgrounds (though near a busy intersection); and its late start time. Normal-hearing students get well acquainted with the deaf student community. Principal Audrey Amos is receptive and level-headed. The PTA is of course smaller than other zoned schools, and succeeds based on deep commitment from those willing to step up. They do seem entrenched in traditions that are working well. Communications could be better with the transitional K High-5 classroom, but this was its first year so improvements are surely on the way. Support for parental involvement in reading is encouraging.

We have a kindergartner at John Muir and love the grounds, the community, the extras, and the care with which our child is taken care of.
