Obviously LAUSD schools have their benefits and liabilities, but as a product of the school system who went on to graduate from UC Berkeley and USC Law, I have faith in the system and believe that each student has the potential to succeed if they take advantage of all the resources available to them, even if their parents aren't able or willing to be at home tutors. Their are some great teachers and programs at this school and even though I can't comment on the academic performance, I can say that the staff and teachers that I did come into contact with through my volunteer program were all good faith actors who put their heart and soul into educating the youth and I look forward to returning to the community next semester!!!!

Mr. Dillon is a wonderful caring First grade teach and cool...Thank you Mr. Dillon. The principal is new and I am going to wait to write a review on her. Today I am ready to write a review for the blot so new principal Mrs. Misdukes, twice I had incidents where this principal is not responsible for the well beign of my child who attends this school. The latest incident was enough for me, my child third grader was punched and bullied by a 5th grader, when my husband and I approached the principal to address the issue she would not even come out of her office to address our concerns regarding our child's safety, she brushed us off and stated that the incident happened at the Youthservices so she is not responsible, I will post the pics if how this 5th grader left my kid's leg and the not so new principal did not address the issue took responsibility for my child's safety. I would not recommend this principal to run ANY school.

This school offers the best of education, camaraderie, and Christian values. I could never provide my children what this school gives them. Other parents are very involved and helpful, creating a wonderful community. The principal is very motivated and kind, and the school's priest has a special talent for explaining religion to children in a way that's both entertaining and knowledgeable. I attended GSBH myself, and as an adult I appreciate even more how crucial this school is to a young person's development. I remain deeply thankful for it. Now, after we switched schools, my daughters attend GSBH too, and in just one month I've seen them grow in such a positive way. There aren't enough words to express how highly I think of this school.

From the time they…read morewere little through having an 8th grader, our kids have thrived, gaining solid academic preparation, well-rounded interests, and a sense of belonging to a warm, welcoming, and active community.   The teachers at St. Brendan are terrific at all levels, starting with the expert Kinder teacher who helped set up one wiggly five-year-old for success and taught another to love reading over Zoom in COVID, all the way through Middle School teachers leading sophisticated discussions of novels and social issues and shepherding kids though high school applications.  When our kids have needed support, the teachers and the Principal, Mrs. Young, have been there and all along, our kids have been seen for who they are, cared for, and championed.  I also love that as a Catholic school, discussions around service and social justice are integrated into daily learning; our family is Catholic but many St. Brendan families aren't and the focus is largely on common values. St. Brendan also offers a wide range of opportunities for kids to learn teamwork and leadership and to expand their horizons, from successful but inclusive sports teams, to a spring musical that levels up every year, to a popular scouts program, and lots more.  The art program at St. Brendan is a standout; all grades have class weekly and the students make some truly remarkable pieces. That said, what really makes St. Brendan unique is the emphasis on togetherness and community.  The older kids look out for the little ones, with each upper grade student assigned a little buddy they spend time with throughout the year, helping our middle schoolers stay playful while learning responsibility.  Every family contributes service hours to the school, meaning parents are highly invested and present every day.  Our collective efforts add to the offerings for the kids and in the process, we've gained wonderful friendships and a sense of belonging.  I can honestly say there is always something fun happening at St. Brendan! As we start to look to the next chapter, we couldn't be happier to have found this amazing school.

Our Experience at This School - A Deep Disappointment…read more We enrolled our son at this private Catholic school with high hopes, trusting in its mission to protect and nurture the children of God. Unfortunately, our experience was deeply disappointing and concerning. This situation happened approximately one year ago, and as parents, we were devastated. It took us a long time to fully process everything that happened--not because we didn't care, but because our top priority was always to protect our son and make sure he was emotionally safe. The pain caused by what happened didn't affect only him--it hurt us deeply as his parents and family. We had to rely on loved ones for emotional support to cope. Now, after time and reflection, we feel able to speak about it because this should never happen again. When our son faced conflict with other students, the school's response was troubling. Instead of fairness and compassion, his teacher reacted with harshness. Her behavior was relentless and cruel toward a 12-year-old child. That conduct was inappropriate and did not reflect Catholic values of safety and respect. As a teacher, her role should have been to guide and support students--not judge or take sides. She clearly took sides, damaging the trust our son had placed in her. He initially felt safe and confident but felt betrayed. She never tried to talk with him about what happened or gave him a chance to explain himself. We were also disturbed when the teacher held a private conversation with our son without informing us. That happened during questionable disciplinary action, which we found unacceptable. We are concerned she held a personal grudge against him--something no school should allow. No child should feel singled out or intimidated by a teacher. It became clear she did not want our son in her class or at the school. She bullied him and damaged his self-worth so deeply we worried for his mental health. He no longer felt safe; he felt scared, anxious, and uncomfortable. He feared constant judgment, which made learning impossible. We also saw a divide between students who started young and those who joined later. New students were not treated equally or supported fully. This extended to extracurriculars--our son was excluded from sports for lacking experience, which left him isolated and discouraged. Eventually, we had to enroll our son in a new school. Transitioning to middle school was hard enough; being pushed out of a school he loved made it even harder. The school should be ashamed of how this was handled. No one stood up for him, and a teacher abused his trust and undermined his success. The school claims to follow Christ's example and hold high moral standards. That should include compassion, protection, and forgiveness. But these values were only words, not reflected in actions. The school failed to protect our son and allowed personal biases to guide decisions. Because of all this, we made the difficult decision to withdraw our son immediately. It was heartbreaking, but we no longer believed he was safe in that environment. We hope the school reflects and makes changes to prevent other children from suffering similarly. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend this school--especially for students entering in later grades.

Many kids are bussed here to Emerson that do not live close in the area. So, the school in not in a bad area. I loved all my teachers that helped me graduate too.

They are the backbone of the school and their importance is too often dismissed by lesser educational institutions.

Without the Teacher's Assistants, new teachers, substitute teachers, and students would require a much longer adjustment period and diminished material absorption.

This could be specially problematic for older visitors or anyone who relies on sturdy support when navigating steps or elevated seating. It's something that might not be immediately noticeable to everyone, but it does raise safety concerns overall while the gym is visually impressive and a great venue for games, I do think improvements to the railing design would make it safer and more comfortable for all guests.

I had gotten a call saying my son had hurt his arm. His grandma had to to pick him up immediately bc he couldn't stop crying and my son didn't want anyone to look at his arm bc it hurt so much. They seemed to be agitated throughout it the call with me bc he was crying.

I appreciate the education I received here and the teachers I was fortunate enough to have.
