Re: Catholic school with great faith formation?
My husband is the vice-principal at St. Elizabeth's in Oakland. He'd
be happy to talk to you about his school, as well as the others in the
Oakland Diocese. Feel free to email me and I will forward your email
to him.

We're looking into St. Elizabeth High School in Oakland and wondered
if anyone had experience, of any kind, with this school. I'd not
heard of it before and would love hear some real-life experiences.
Do they have a good sports program? What is the rigor of academics?
Thx

My son attended St. Liz for 3 years and enjoyed his time there. The
teachers and staff are supportive and wonderful people. Staffaculty
turnover is low. My son isn't an athlete so I can't say much more
than Google Ashton Purvis and their football team was excellent prior
to the coach departing for Berkeley High. The academics are solid
college prep with honors classes and some AP classes. Their literary
magazine has won awards. My son would not consider Bishop O'Dowd so
St. Liz was a good option. The students become very close by senior
year. It's a small school so they easily get to know each other and
the bond is cemented by annual retreats. Parents are very loosely
organized since there are many single parent and working families but
the semiannual parent teacher conference nights are well attended and
very helpful. It's a closed campus and my son had no problems with
using BART, a short walk away.
