  • Our son is currently in the 8th grade and looking for a high school for next year in Berkeley-Oakland area. We heard good things about Latitude HS but are not sure about the academic level there. We understand that it is project-based and that classes are small, which is very good. We would be very happy to hear from parents of former/current students there what do they think of the standard of studies?

    Thank you !

    My child went to Latitude first semester of 10th grade.  We too had heard good things, and even knew people there.  However, it was not a good fit for her, and there were a lot of problems at the school -- many fights, multiple set fires along the fence line, poor organization.  I also hear that a few teachers have left.  We moved and transferred schools in the middle of the school year to go our local public high school. My child had a lot of catching up to do academically.  (FYI - at least when we were there, they didn't even offer all the A-G requirements, stating that students could get them completed elsewhere, such as dual-enrollment)

Hi,

You didn't say the age of your child, but my daughter has a very similar profile and we've found a High School that meets her needs fairly well- Latitude High (a public charter school). It is a project based learning school with a block schedule, small groups of kids that stay in the same pod over the 4 years, and a wonderful special education department that supports her IEP. If your child is younger, I would encourage you to look at the reel2e.org site in general, they have a list of schools that may serve 2e learners (reel2e.org/post/2e-private-school-panel-2022). Feel free to reach out as well and good luck in your search!
