    "We pulled our child from CDS after several years of elementary, choosing another independent school that demonstrated solid academics as well as a social emotional learning curriculum that was, unlike CDS, implemented in the manner in which it was described. Once moved, it took our child a full year to recover the ground lost through CDS's inconsistent program. We are pleased that our child is happy and now thrives and would urge anyone considering CDS to do a great deal of due diligence before committing their family. There is a reason why this school experiences the attrition that it does."

    "I find the previous posting odd as that is not our experience at all. My daughter attends one of the top independent schools in the city and she is not struggling at all. In fact, she is thriving! She tested out of Math 1 and is on track to complete Calculus by the end of her senior year, she took a humanities class as a sophomore that is usually offered to juniors, her lab writing skills are excellent - all because of her experience at CDS. My daughter is a smart kid, but not exceptional. She just has really strong academic skills, great work habits and the confidence to know when she needs to get extra help. The top high schools in SF have very challenging curriculums so it is not easy to do well there, but CDS prepares its students with more than just the academic necessities. I know every student has a different experience but it is just false to say that they are unprepared as a whole. Spanish is the only area where she entered at the same level as her peers or perhaps a little below. In everything else she is above grade level and I can't emphasize enough the importance of the other skills CDS teaches - organization, confidence, self advocacy. They are invaluable!"

    "My daughter left this school so poorly prepared for high school that it is almost criminal. She was one of the best students at CDS (where she was since Kindergarten) but at her high school (a top independent school) she struggles to keep up. Her teachers have told us that her writing skills and math skills are very weak. The kids who came from other private schools and from public schools were much better prepared than my daughter. We know another CDS family with the same issue in high school -please beware of this school! There is more emphasis on diversity and social awareness than on basic academic skills -and as a result these are not up to par at all."

    "CDS is an amazing school and an incredible community. Our daughter has been going to school there for the past three years (since Kindergarten) and every year we are amazed by the school's approach to teaching and learning. CDS embodies the best of what a 21st century education should be -- immersive and hands-on, committed to diversity, encouraging social and emotional learning, cultivating interdisciplinary and critical thinking. This is a school that isn't interested in teaching kids what to think, but rather, how to think -- and how to be active, creative, and passionate members of a community."

    "this will be our seventh year at CDS. our daughter is entering fourth grade an entusiastic learner, a writer of short stories, a young scientist ready to study electromagnetic fields and astronomy, and a confident member of her community. the faculty and staff know her, her strengths and her weaknesses, and work with us to help her become the best version of herself that she can be. is the school perfect? no, and no school is. but when a budding fourth grader asks to listen to NPR (the republican convention no less) and can offer thoughtful commentary on the news it gives this two dad family confidence that our trust is not misplaced."
