Esperanza Elementary School

great bilingual school, excellent staff and students, i like the fact that they have to wear uniforms and the teachers too! great learning environment , its a small school so everyone knows your child!

Now in its sixth year, Esperanza Elementary in Oakland is a dual-immersion program. Native English and Spanish speakers learn together in the same classroom. In K-2, literacy and math are taught in Spanish; science and social studies in English. In 3-5 it is the opposite. The school is located in a low-income area, with many of the associated challenges, but as a teacher there last year, I must say that it is a gem of a school with a smart, dedicated, hard-working staff and wonderful children.
