We were privileged to have two children attend Booksin K-5. We couldn't have found a better school academically (either public or private) or a more active, committed community. Despite its large size, Booksin consistently strives to attend to each student's needs and provide the tools required for success. Parent volunteerism is incredible - from raising money for the school to providing daily reading help, Booksin parents step up to plate and always deliver! The BEST elementary school in San Jose BAR NONE!!
We were new to the school this year. It is very welcoming and my children's teachers have been outstanding. I would highly recommend the school if you are moving into the area.
School still stresses test scores and volume over quality of learning. My daughter has been in the school since K-4th and loves it. However, will have to point out the over zealous parents driving their kids hard vs. how well they are retaining the knowledge that they are learning. Overall a great school but still has room for improvement.
This school is absolutely fabulous. There are wonderful teachers, a very strong parent group and a fantastic new principal! The school offers many during and after school activities, such as, a garden program(run by volunteer parents), student council(teacher and students work to improve school spirit and do community projects), cornerstone kids (teachers run this group to build Lifeskills of all students), Mellow Monday (teacher run library program), Fun Fridays (parents set up arts, crafts and activities for students to do during Friday lunch) and of course Booksin's fantastic parents organize and put on the most amazing fundraiser the Walk-a-Thon! Teachers and Parents at this school go above and beyond any other school in the area.
