The ratings speak for themselves. It appears that one bad apple will always spoil the bunch. What a pity. The teachers greatly appreciate all the parents that have validated our hard work on this site and acknowledged our great dedication to our students.
Live Oak is an incredible community, with stellar academics and happy kids. Teachers for this school were originally handpicked from the San Ramon school district when the school opened just a few years ago, and last year only the best and most experienced were retained (due to the CA budget shortfall). We have two children in the school now for several years, all teachers we've encountered here were veterans who consistently go above and beyond the call of duty. The children are thriving in a culture that encourages excellence, is inclusive and fair.
The school is average - at best. The school and the teaching staff is not what it looks like on paper. Most of the kids at the school are educated outside of schooltime, which effects the overall API scores. The API tests in CA have such low standards, that most children across the country will score high. Some teachers at this school do the bare minimum to get by. Parents are dual-working, and a lot have language barriers. The same parents volunteer over and over and its not a large group of parents. There is no GATE program to speak of - its minimal; teachers do not understand differentiated education, and the safety is questionable. The principal never reports health issues or alerts parents of danger in the area. The ratings are false.
My kids are so happy with the school. The teachers are organized and motivate the students. The principal runs a tight ship with the school overall very organized and clean.
