As a second grade parent I feel really happy with our school. We have a great principal on board, Mary L. Cranna. She is warm, caring, responsible, responsive, attentive, etc, etc. We're really lucky to have a principal willing to roll up her sleeves and work hard. Great staff, great enrichment programs. An excellent after school program, GLO. We have very actives committees; PTA, SSC & ELAC. They all work together with the principal & staff to benefit our children. Fairmount is the whole package. My child is only in second grade and he reads and writes very well in both English and Spanish. His teacher Mr. Castillo is an excellent teacher. Our community is the best. We are a family. We're Fairmount family!
The Spanish Immersion program prepares our children culturally and educationally to have great options in life!
As a first grade parent at Fairmount I am impressed with the quality of administrators and faculty. We have a responsive, caring, and effective principal, Ms. Cranna. My child had an excellent Kinder teacher and a fabulous First grade teacher, and I hear the excellence continues. She's learning, in Spanish AND English. Due to the support of the PTA my child benefits from numerous extra activities: choir, capoeira, social play group, additional PE days, a school librarian. The before and after care program, GLO, is onsite and simply adds to our happy experience at Fairmount. GLO is a quality program, with caring, engaging staff and hours that allow working parents to put in their 40hours without worrying about where their children are afterschool. The school has a fantastic community with engaged faculty and parents. I consider ourselves extremely lucky to be part of this engaged, caring learning-community.
I have a first grader in Fairmount Elementary and have been thrilled with the progress he has made in reading, writing, and math, as well as learning a second language. This is the type of school that has a great community that you want to be a part of. The PTA is very involved, there are numerous extra activities that are brought to the school (SF ballet, opera, capoeira, sports for kids), and there is a child care program on sight. We are very happy to be here.
