We count our blessings every day – the school is amazing. Our kids have very different personalities and learning styles, and two are African American and one is White, and all have found tremendous academic enrichment, fabulous arts and sports programs and truly excellent academics. I have come to appreciate that teachers have “feet” and chose to work in schools where they have ample family and administrative support. Our teachers have been hands- down phenomenal. To top it off, the school has terrific community and many very involved families. I am proud to have my kids be in such a diverse and academically and socially successful school. We can do this, America! Urban public schools can be amazing places of academic achievement and cultural and racial integration. Thank you Claire Lilienthal…. Read 1 review
The teachers have so much heart and care for their students and go above and beyond for us so we can have the best middle school experience. Even with the wide range of clubs, if you don’t see one that would fit you, you can also always go to a teacher and create a club of your own! This school helped me succeed and excel throughout the year, with support always there for me. I’m very lucky to have been able to attend here and I hope that future kids going into middle school will consider Roosevelt Middle School when applying!… Read 7 reviews

Very small school, so you get close to your classmates and teachers. EBIA is hands-on and STEAM-based and has a college preparatory curriculum. The only reason it’s getting a four-star and not a five is because they don’t have any sports teams and the school events are limited. However, I played varsity soccer at Skyline Highschool, which was fine!… Read 13 reviews

(Martin Luther) Academic Middle School
For a small school, it offers an amazing diversity of challenging academics/APs for college prep but also student support. The motto is that students come first, and every student is known and loved. The administration aims to support struggling students, & that academic and mental health support been especially important at this time. At the very start of the pandemic, while other schools were scrambling to transition to virtual learning or independent study projects, PacBay seamlessly moved learning online over the course of a weekend. The administration did a great job researching and planning. Students attended classes on campus one day, and smoothly transitioned online the next week to minimize learning loss. As restrictions loosened, and vaccinations rose, the school’s done a wonderful job re-opening the campus safely. Esp in a time of uncertainty & anxiety, you want to feel confident about where you send your child to school. We do….
