George Shirakawa Sr. Elementary School 665 Wool Creek Drive, San Jose, CA 95112

"I have been here since kindergarten and it not so bad and I am only 10min the food not great but it is still a good school"

"For me, it was like a cult. The rules were strictly enforced, being late to class is like a crime. The uniform was really strict but the teachers are free-dressed. They were kind of abusive and had more privileges than the students, students should be allowed to go to the restroom or eat during class. You get in trouble for the most trivial things and to parents, only the teacher's side matters. Students have to perfectly line up as if they're in the army. In my experience, all the kids were in cliques and were rude. Some were blind enough to defend the school's system like cult members. In middle school, the work and the people gave me depression. This school didn't have much extracurriculars and grades mattered more than mental health. These people are just kids. I was class of 2015 so my review may be outdated."

"Great school great staff"

"Went there for 4 years, kids can be judging but if you find the right friends you'll be fine"

"Wish I could give it less than 1 star. It's boring and there's no extracurriculars or many subjects. The teachers are terrible to the students. I've been here my whole life until high school so I know what I'm talking about."
