“I really love this school -- but the true test has been in how well my older daughter is prepared for middle school from an academic perspective. She (and many of her Olive buddies) are in accelerated math and other classes and doing really well. The teachers at Olive work as a team to make sure the kids are prepared and ready. And the Olive parents and PTA work really hard to make sure budget cuts don't get in the way of maintaining a great school.”

“Olive is a fantastic school and probably one of the most sought after elementary schools in Novato. My son is extremely happy there and in 1st great he is reading and writing at the 3rd grade level due to the wonderful teachers and principal. The student, staff and family community at Olive is the best. The after-school enrichment programs and recent school enhancements are superior.”

“I have been an Olive parent for five years. The teaching staff has been excellent, and the parent community wonderful. One of the best things about Olive is that the school is resopnsive to all children as individuals. No round pegs are being made to fit in square holes! My two children have very different learning styles, and both have flourished at Olive. Also, I am very impressed by the new principal. She has a ton of positive energy, a strong focus on academic excellence, and a great working relationship with the parents, staff and kids.”

“The educational level of this school is adequate but the atmosphere is strained and uncondusive for stimulating growth in young minds. The rooms are small and crowded. The effects of budget constraints are obvious.”
