    "In a climate of a public schooling crisis, I feel Phoebe Hearst is rising to the challenges and continues to provide high academic expectations for all students. As a parent of a child in both a "GATE" class and "non-GATE" class, I see equal expectations of both children. There is no doubt that this year has brought big changes in the forms of bigger class sizes and "new" teachers (aka experienced teachers at a new campus). However, this is a change that all schools in our district have faced. In looking at a couple negative reviews of Phoebe from this year, I feel compeled to remind people that we must not place blame on our local schools for large class sizes and experienced educators teaching grades they have not taught before; as these changes are district, state, and union mandated. The principal's leadership at Phoebe is strong and for those that are willing to be part of a solution, there is a solution to be had for most problems. It's no secret that positive behavior and academic rigor are basic expectations at Phoebe, and that may not be for everyone; but if you want peace of mind that high expectations will be held for your child's public education, this is your school."

    "Everyone makes a big deal about Phoebe being the "top" school, but we don't see what all the hype is about. I would suggest parents sit and observe a few classes in action before putting their child here (don't just do the principal guided tour). The teachers are "handed" gifted students but some have become complacent and quite arrogant. There aren't any awards or kudos given to the kids for good attendance, improving academically or anything. They use negative reinforcement constantly by taking away recess. We can't understand why they don't use any positive reinforcement techniques to engage and reward the children. In addition, now that the lower grades are packed with 30 kids per classroom, my child's teacher is very overwhelmed and it's negatively impacting the students. Many of the parents feel that the principal needs to ease up on the constant "PR" and focus more on staff development INSIDE the classrooms. I would not recommend this school."

    "We are so glad our little one is attending kindergarten at Phoebe Hearst. Even though, he transitioned from being in a preschool class with just 14 kids to a typical 30 student classroom, he is learning and having a great time. And teacher manages to encourage all the children to thrive even if some of them are at different levels. I'm most impressed with the parent involvement and how it is encouraged. I'm having a ball helping at my son's classroom and knowing that every effort we as parents do to support the school is in our little one's best interest."

    "The transition to Phoebe has been less than favorable for our family. A small group of older kids have bullied our child, physically and verbally. We have received very little assistance from the staff regarding resolving or preventing bullying. At my child's last school, we NEVER had any issues with bullies or unresponsive staff. This school seems to focus so much on academics and high test scores that they seem to have forgotten how the well being of children is equally important in the overall school experience. Test scores aren't everything and seeing my child so unhappy at this school has been an awful experience."

    "What a find this school is. I have two kids in this school. One is in the 4th grade GATE class and I have a new younger son in kindergarten. Amazing teachers. Parent involvement is welcome by the principal and the teachers. This is an amazing environment for kids to be in and I'm glad this school is in my neighborhood, even though it's not really a neighborhood school. One word for this school and its teachers: AWESOME!!"
