I think SJND showcases the pinnacle of Alameda diversity, and commitment to rigorous education. Most courses are UC a-g approved and they don't try to limit students to courses at the school. There is a bit unknown about the future given the new administration, however, I am hopeful that the community will pull through.

I really had to think long and hard before posting this review. Schools are about an individual fit, and this school really did not work for my kid. Maybe it would work for your kid. We had several red flags before we figured out the school could not work for us: first my son had issues with being c...
