Great school. This is my first year here as a parent, and I'm really thrilled to have my daughter…read morelearn at a school that seems to get it. To add, as a teacher myself (high school level), I think a lot of the success stems from the teachers and community itself. The teachers are caring, experienced, insightful, knowledgeable, approachable....I could go on. Most importantly, they seem to love their jobs, and they are good at what they do. Lastly, despite being in LA county, and the after school hustle and bustle of picking up your kid(s), the school has a small feel to it- no overcrowding, and the campus isn't stuffed with bungalows of make shift classrooms. This makes a difference. A side note: If you're so fortunate to get Mrs. Smith for a 1st grade teacher for your child, you are in amazing hands. What she gets 18 1st graders to do in 10 min takes me forever with only my 3 kids. What an awesome teacher - and an remarkably wonderful individual.

The best school Ever! The Principal is very friendly and helpful. The is a well managed school…read more Above and beyond our expectations. Teachers always thrive to get the best out of every student. The school is very open to parent ideas and involvement which I believe is why it excels in many ways. If any student is weak there will be afterschool extra classes without asking. We love all the events that take place like talent shows, cultural events, Olympics, excursions, theater, going to see movies and historic places, you name it. My kids love this school. It has a great Robotic program during school and afterschool. We participated in competitions and won awards for the school. Love the school's interest in Fine arts, digital arts and dance too. It happens during school and afterschool. Programs change from time to time.... But during the years at this school you will get to do it all!

Whitney High is a great school with great food! I love attending here and I will continue to do so!read more

As a current student, I would like to honestly say that Whitney is not that great. Yes, Whitney…read moreboasts the title of "6th best school in the nation" but this is just a title that was achieved from its brilliant students, not the school itself. I have been constantly frustrated at Whitney's limitations- how they do not provide you opportunities and how they do not let you bring about change. They only offer the basic required curriculum. I don't get a chance to even choose the classes I want. My friends have been forced to drop their art class, language class, sports-simply because they "do not have space" or there is no other class available. They also do not offer other classes- they've dropped so many classes. Some teachers are okay, some others are... not the best. A few do not even bother to teach well. There is a lot of rigor which is good for the students, but most of the time, the rigor is unnecessary. The school has fundraisers and receives donations. Where has all this money gone? To classes for the students? To improving the campus? No, they've all gone to the public multimedia center. It's great-sleek, shiny computers and a stage with fancy lights. However, our bathrooms still have broken locks and not enough soap or paper towels. And, of course, not a variety of classes to choose from. I really do love the people here. Everyone is friendly and inviting- teachers and students. We are a tight-knit community who get to know each other and build memories together. The school, though, is disappointing.

Not to worry, we take pictures of little Picasso's work. Yeah, movies does not exist in this classroom. Lots of social interaction. Parents involvement is a must. Kids will learn mannerisms. I recommend 1-2 years here. If you also have a little one and you are in the ABC school district and have a few hours to spare and mingle with other parents while your kid gets some social time, this would be a wonderful place to come.

My son's used to go to one of the schools in Norwalk and due to a move here at Cerritos we had to…read moretransfer them over. After covid and homeschooling my kids were shocked from being home to now going back to school and socializing. My eldest son had to slowly learn how to make friends again and at the end of the year I am so glad to see him happy and glow again. My youngest son was at a daycare prior, so he was scared to even enter kindergarten after not going to school during the pandemic. My son had Miss Kvale, and he always came home with more content such as reading and doing math in his head such as addition. I felt like he was ahead of the game and I appreciate both the teachers my sons had. He always came home better then the last day, and I love the fact that the parents are able to keep in contact with the teachers if any parents had concerns. The principal is very friendly and open and is willing to answer any questions without any attitude unlike any other principal I've experienced when asking questions concerning your child. The only reason why I gave it four Stars was due to the bullying and missed report by a recess supervisor... when the incident was reported by my own son I brought it to the principal's attention in which the issue was fixed immediately. Another issue is mainly due to the driving of the parents picking up their children and acting crazy... I literally had to call police once far from the school after them cutting me off and following me around my home to scare me. Other than that the school is good in my book and my boys will continue to go to school here for another few years. Not all parents are crazy and I've met a few parents here who are pretty cool. We also have exchanged phone numbers for play dates.

Like Ms Balbuena was the one of the only ones who understood me and thought of me as a good kid, Even Mr Goldmann and Ms Heeran back then. But, in 4th grade-6th grade i didn't get help and i've seen people getting bullied and having poor social emotional developement and i was a victim as they didn't understand me at all. I was being bullied and even i was getting rejected by my peers in my class and they laughed at me as if i was a joke and i sometimes falsely accused of doing something wrong. Sometimes I did do wrong things but it was rarely in occasion not frequently. But i wasn't like happy during 4-6th grade as i had poor social skils and low self-esteem. Plus, I didn't have proper friends as well so. Also, some of my friends backstabbed me and my friend group and one of them, I'm not gonna say any names, but he got me in trouble, and I was set up, and I was frustrated bout it and most of the time i got peer-pressured.
