“There is a reason why Drew has a 5 stars rating among his students and that is because he is an amazing guitar instructor. Not everybody who can play can teach, but Drew definitely can do both. He has plenty of exercises for you to build those foundations you need, while also having fun learning to play the songs you love, and he is very kind, humble and patient. Being a complete beginner at guitar, my first thought was that I really needed to get in person classes. So, I did a month at a different place before I decided to give Drew's lessons a try. Drew has a way of explaining things which makes everything easy to understand. I had learned way more with Drew on my first online class than I did in that previous month with the in person guitar instructor. I have been taking lessons with Drew for about 6 months now and I'm really happy I switched for his lessons.”

“My 6th grader and 3rd grader have both attended CMP since kindergarten. We love our school, the teachers and community. Montessori focuses on whole child development. Just one example: last year the school brought on a full time counselor to help the kids with regular lessons on things like communication, mindfulness, recognizing and dealing with difficult emotions, etc. The ability to access a Montessori education through a charter school (tuition-free) has been a huge opportunity. There are some highly involved parents that make a huge difference, along with an incredibly dedicated staff of teachers and office support. If you are thinking of enrolling your student, please know that the enrichment programs depend on parental involvement (logistically - it’s not enforced by the school but you should be prepared to participate if you want the enrichment programs to survive). The Montessori method requires a family commitment to your student’s education and the school community to succeed, but for students that thrive on a love of learning and the freedom to excel at their own pace, CMP Carmichael is an amazing school!”

“Our son has been taking lessons with Ms. Pat for almost 6 months. He was a complete beginner and has learned to play several songs under her tutelage and works hard to please her. She is an excellent teacher and gives him background on pieces he is learning and advice on how to play difficult passages. She engages him in the lesson and he loves to play piano! We would highly recommend her!”

“Best Elementary in my opinion”

“This school has gotten better since the other ratings, and now has a plethora of AP classes, and I feel more than challenged. Some of Admin and Teachers do the best they can with the little the have (funding is always an issue, the computers in the labs still run Windows XP for Christ's sake!) but some teachers are so protected by their unions that they don't have to teach well and often don't as a consequence of being at the top of the totem pole thanks to working there for years. If that didn't make sense, just know that newer better teachers are more likely to get fired because they are newer. There is definitely a huge gap between the students in Advanced Placement classes and those in regular classes and I know very few of those on the other side. This gap is predominantly a socio-economic one, with richer families having their students take more challenging courses, while those less fortunate simply look to graduate and often work part-time after school. Those on the advanced side are getting test scores just as high as students at SI or MA, but they are offset by the other 60% of the school who preforms at or below average. As a whole, HMBHS does not compare to other schools in the Bay Area, such as Saint Ignatius, or Menlo-Atherton. HMBHS will never be a badge of exclusive honor, because its very composition, identity and mission work against that. It's intended to be accessible and to try and counter, and change, the fact that in the United States, according to a study from a few years ago, fewer than 10% of children from families in the bottom quartile of income are likely to get a college diploma by the age of 24, while more than 70% of families from the top quartile are. HMBHS functions primarily to get students who weren't originally intent on going to college into a two-year community college. That's not to say that if you have plans to go to a UC that you are unable to. Many, many alumni have gone onto prestigious universities - UC Berkely, UCLA, UCSB, Northwestern, U-Penn, USC, I could go on... - it just takes some extra work to set yourself apart from the rest and use tools that are meant for other purposes to get the job done. At HMBHS, success won't be handed to you, you have to work for it, which in a way is even better. I gave this review a 5/5 because I respect the mission. However, I would probably give it a 4/5, but didn't because clearly the school could use a better rep. While the mission is a noble one, the school survives because of teachers who put in 110%, but they are increasingly transferring to other districts where the pay is higher, among other reasons. Hadley, Davis, Lusear, and many others have been forced to use HMBHS as a stepping stone onto institutions which pay more for their hard work. Just this semester, the principle, superintendent and his assistant all stepped down from their positions for varying reasons, chiefly low pay and the annoying union who stabs its associates in the back. This forces the high school to hire young guns who can sometimes be amazing teachers who are more able to relate to their students as a result of their youth (Stagg, Svendsen, Centoni) but often times leads to disasters (Poma, Brown and the librarian who threw away books (!!!)) who, thankfully, have all been removed. At the end of the day, the school is crippled by low funds, an annoying union and a fast teacher turn-over rate, but is held together by the alumni donations (in the form of some unprecedented sports facilities), amazing, but under-represented teachers and a very strong parent foundation that somehow manages to keep things moving forward. Hope this helps someone!”

“Awesome school. Very nice staff and students. There are plenty of programs that help involve students and the teachers are in charge of the programs. The principal stands outside before and after school to sat hello and goodbye every day. The staff is always there to help when ever you have a question you need answered. Overall great school.”

“We have had our son in this school for a full year now and we’re thoroughly thrilled to have found this place. What a blessing to know your child is loved and challenged to grow in a structure setup. Our little big guy loves to come here and play with his friends. We even made some new friendships with other attending families along the way. Wonderful teachers, and a fun, inspiring and clean environment.”
