"John Muir has definitely had it's challenges. However, as a proponet for sending my child to the nearest public school, I have kept my children here for the past five years and couldn't be happier. My son has overcome some learning issues and through his teachers is not at or above grade level in his subjects. My youngest LOVES her friends and her teachers. Mr. Rosenberg is doing an EXCELLENT job getting test scores and literacy up and the overall atmosphere at John Muir is excellent. If you want your children to have both a quality education AND an excellent cultural exposure that is fair and equal racially, John Muir is the school for you. Do not be deceived by prior negative comments... this school is devoted to it's students and is moving towards a bright and beautiful future."

"The school is currently undergoing some changes that are for the better. There is a new principle in place. I can see the changes in my children. The school is focusing on literacy and creating an enjoyment of reading for all of its students. The classrooms are small which allows for more individual attention. I have had children in this after school program for five years now. I have taken the time to attend the parent orientations each year. Because of this I know that the program is an EXCEL program through the school district which requires the after school hours to be divided equally between homework, arts and crafts, and sports. What this means for the parent is that you will have to help your child finish their homework when you get home. This was clearly explained to me at all parent meetings. If you were looking for an after school program that would do all of your work for you, then this is not the one. The school along with the after school program has helped me and my family transition two students to middle school. I have another three students in attendance now. I expect our experience to continue to be a positive one."

"This is the worst school my child can ever attend. I cannot believe I let them finish a whole year here. The staff did not challenge my child's ability to learn. Second grade and first grade homework were exactly the same. The after school program consists of a very fancy handbook explaining the program. But there is no set schedule and the staff seems very lazy to your child's needs. When I pick up my child from the so called after school care called Beacon YMCA; the staff/adult in charge sat there texting on his mobile phone, while the kids are rowdy and no homework was complete. If i could I would give no stars!!! Do not send your child to this school."

"What do mean they 'pick and choose'? It's a lottery! True that more attentive parents tend to put down the better schools in their 7 choices, so the low-scoring schools end up with a greater share of kids whose parents weren't paying much attention. The fact is that when this school gets its scores up, or offers some kind of language immersion program, more parents will choose it. In the meantime, don't kid yourself. If the teachers were superstars more than 15% of the kids would be doing grade-level work."
