Neighborhood in Oakland, CA
Former Resident: This safe, family-friendly location is perfect! You are very close to the beautiful Lake Merritt. Grocery shopping is easy with stores like Safeway, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods a very short drive or a brisk walking distance away. Transportation is very convenient, with AC transit buses frequently running at early and late house; BART is also about 20 min walk away and 5 min by bus. This is the perfect location for young families who love weekend activities such as hanging out at the farmer's market.... Read 2 reviews

Current Resident: I think Temescal is a homely place. There are a lot of small businesses here from a diverse set of restaurants, bike and auto repair shops, second-hand crafts stores, etc. Every summer, there's a street fair that helps promote these businesses. It features small-time performers, games, prizes, and lots of food. Temescal also has access to good public transportation, with the MacArthur BART Station as well as a number of bus lines. I really like the Temescal Library. It's small and really quiet, but it's a really nice place to study or to just hang out and read a good book.... Read 3 reviews

Nearby Resident: It's definitely a cultural niche! People from all walks of life come here to attend school, eat good food, or just hang out. There are many thriving small businesses and lots of amazing food. It's pretty touristy, but also not too friendly to the typical resident: housing is expensive and homelessness is sadly a major problem.... Read 4 reviews

Current Resident: We moved from San Francisco to Emeryville in 2006 & never looked back! We were fortunate enough to buy a place in Emeryville and have enjoyed it’s close proximity to SF & it’s relaxing, convenient, clean & the new influx of restaurants & bars. Also please note that the crime rate is calcluated using the tally of 11,000 residents which is very misleading as the daytime population in Emeryville Skyrockets to over 1,000,000 people with so many businesses & retail shopping destinations in Emeryville. If you base the crime rate off of the daytime population & not the “nighttime” residential population (of 11,000) the crime rate is actually the lowest in the Bay Area for the amount of ppl that are here during the daytime (when Crimes tend to occur/car smash & grab burglaries at parking lots.) It’s a very family friendly & welcoming city for all...how can it not be when a majority of its daytime population & residents work at Pixar Studios!... Read 26 reviews

Current Resident: Prescott is a wonderful, up-and-coming neighborhood in Oakland, centrally located with easy access to downtown Oakland, San Francisco's financial district, and Emeryville. There's lot of new construction housing being built, lots of new families and people moving in, and new business coming (e.g., largest indoor rocking gym in the country is opening at Mandela and West Grand). The area around Bart is a bit gritty, but that'll be changing too with lots of proposed development receiving permit approvals recently.... Read 2 reviews

Alum: Really great communication from both teachers and school administrators. I still talk to some of my teachers! The academics were good and I got into several prestigious institutions. The only potential downside for some people is the lack of group work since it is a mostly asynchronous school. However, there are dual-enrolment programs that allow students to take synchronous classes over Zoom. My guidance counselor and teachers were super supportive throughout my time here, while I was applying for college, and after I had been accepted and graduated!... Read 223 reviews

Parent: I've looked forward to the opportunity to bring my kids to Kirby for many years. The ethic of care in a culture of achievement allows my children to push toward their own personal goals with ample support. They are inspired by the talents and ambitions of their peers, including the occasional impromptu piano recital in the cafe at lunch! The school has unparalleled access to the arts, which has brought out talents and confidence in my kids I never would have known. My kids were average students prior to Kirby and both have become stronger and more focused. The teachers really get to know your child so they can push them to their growth edge. For the students who are ready for graduate-school level work, which I see in some of the high schoolers, the teachers are ready to meet their enthusiam with expertise and challenge. Every Kirby student is celebrated for their own greatest strength, whether it's academics, song-writing, or gymnastics.... Read 43 reviews
