    "This is a small, exceptional school with the winning combination of great leadership and committed, experienced, and caring teachers. The academics are top-notch, and the PTO raises the funds to have physical education, art, and music for every class. The parents are very involved, and the student body is diverse. You can't go wrong at Yick Wo -- both my children attended here (one still does) and they are enthusiastic learners, for which I give the school a lot of credit."

    "This is school is amazing. It's diverse, the parents are very involved, the neighborhood community is strong. We feel so lucky that both our children are spending their elementary years here with teachers I could have only dreamed of when I was young. It's been a financial salvation for us, as we get to afford in our wonderful Russian Hill neighborhood, give our kids an amazing childhood in the City, and be a part of a tight community."

    "I don't get why Great Schools ranks it only an 8. It should be at least a 9. The test scores are higher than Grattan and Rooftop. The amenities and school grounds are far better than either of those schools. Plus, the principal is superb. The kids are doing great, there is a tight community. Art? Poetry? PE? Smallest class size? Great diversity? All sorts of things other schools dream of. So again, I ask, why is our school only ranked an 8?"

    "We transferred our child from a top private school, and Yick Wo is better. Our child is happier, the class size is smaller. I am stunned that public schools can deliver at this level. The teachers are highly educated and passionate professionals who go out of their way to create a wonderful learning environment. The facilities are a dream, and squeaky clean and safe; they could film a sitcom here. This has been a friendly neighborhood school, in an ideal SF location, but my daughter takes the bus across town and loves it. Focus on art, poetry, ballet. PTO is very active, building gardens and making sure there are lots of field trips. The racial balance of the class looks more like San Francisco than any other school I toured. Come by and see for yourself, and you'll put Yick Wo at the top of your lottery form next year."
