School Reviews

Amazing school and great over all community for both learning and for families to engage. We are over 8 years into our experience with two children, and wouldn't change a thing. As an affiliate Charter school there are of course limitations on what can be done outside of the bounds of LAUSD but the level of parent/community engagement and fundraising definitely helps to set it apart. We think that you would be very hard pressed to find a better elementary school in the area.
