Can't justify that waste of public funds any way you look at it. Neighborhood is no cleaner and now, a lot less shady without those ficus trees. And students are no better off than before the project.

I recently attended a CCUSD Board Meeting to see why I heard so much negativity about the…read morerelationship between the administration, parents and staff in local newspapers and through word of mouth. I was appalled at how disrespectful parents were towards the teachers. Regardless of one's opinions about the curriculum, which has been quite an issue these last few years, some parents spoke so negatively to and about the teachers and their opinions. Not once did the administrators or school board members intervene on behalf of their teachers which seemed to give permission to this disgusting display of disrespect and humiliation. Certainly there must have been a way to support these teachers and these parents. I left feeling that this kind of discord trickles into every phase of a school's performance and reputation. CCHS is not how I remember it to be. I'm glad my kids graduated when there was an amicable relationship between the administrators, staff and parents.

Uni is honestly a really good school. I can personally say that Uni is unique due to the amount of…read moreopportunities they offer their students. Some examples include: -About 20 AP classes to choose from -AP Capstone (an incredibly unique AP that allows students to develop research skills that will help them on the long run) -UCLA tutoring program -West LA classes -Peer Mediation (Only school with this program on the westside) -UTA Mentoring Program for Juniors - Sports - Variety of Electives ( Journalism, Leadership, Animation, Nano technology, Sports Medicine etc...) Also, Ms. Vannorden is one the best college counselors one can have. She always provides support for students/parents, and despite the amount of workload she already has, she will always help and answer any questions. Going to University High School has been one of the best decisions I have made. My friends from other schools envy the amount of opportunities I am offered at this school. Also, they envy the quality of education I have received.

I am making another review, I am so glad I graudated here a month ago. So now I feel safer to…read moreexplain more in detail. At this school, the school cares more about their image than what they actually do. They have little ''events'' but they mostly put it on their instagram even when there's a cellphone ban. They do attendance challenges where if you show up consistently for a couple days you could get a 10$ Starbucks gift card. It's stupid, I know. They never clean the inside of the classroom building, they treated the cellphone ban as more important than students vaping, since they knew students smoke and smoke at that school but they dont do a single thing to stop it!! There was a burnt tampon found in the toilet - (no one knows why they were burning the tip of a tampon) someone reported it to the duke, and no consequences were given. The only people who actually care (In my opinion) are those at the wellbeing center. They let you come in and they welcome you even if they're going everyday, they actually care about mental health. Teachers like Ms. Ishii, Ms. Mitchell and Ms. Monge will put you on your last brain cells since their work is so hard, they will expect much out of you and I would warn against them unless you like teachers who are old school, would make you cry once or twice or close to crashing out, hesitating on respect for students, and having a spirit which made school less enjoyable due to their dark/ mean demeanors. The lunch is a dissapointmemt, instead of it being like an al you can eat buffet, they just throw food into being heat up and it's never handmade / cooked. Sometimes the cafeteria food is moldy or rotting, and it's open food where flies are flying around it. The theatre program was amazing, and we will sure miss Ronnie Sperling as our diretctor as he had decided to leave us after this year. As well since in Highschool a lot of students want to go to college, Uni doesn't really mention college to you until Junior year (Teacher wise), but I would recommend the college center since they just started that as we became seniors and It can be really helpful towards those who want the best academics. The dress code policy is stupid, Ms. Tucker Jones has a nasty attitude, I dont know if its because were both black and she's jealous I carry myself better than her, or she feels that she had to keep things in lock idk she just pissed me off. Also everyone booed the principal at graduation (Claudia Middleton) Anyways, If you end up bringing your child here it up to you. Goodluck, and be prepared to offer extreme emotional support, and money especially for senior year. But out of all the negative, here are some positive things I liked about this school. I mentioned being a black teen girl, we have a BSAP Counselor- Ms. Johnson. She took us to field trips for hocus, to go see a movie about being black, and watching a black play nutcracker. She also offers scholarship opportunities. I like this schools after school program educare, they offer a lot of snacks after school, tutoring and homework held ! :) Mr. Sabbagh had an excellent music progrgam- and if you wanna sing the national anthem for graduation go to him and try out even if you think youre not good enough do it try your best!!! As I said earlier the theatre program was good, so is the sports selection even tho this school is broke. And now, thats it. thank you so much for reading even though this was very long, I am finally done with this school. Peace out! -June, class of 2026

From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt a welcoming atmosphere -- one that honors its staff, students, and parents, and is committed to supporting and improving the schools in ways that feel limitless. A huge shoutout to Cathy Lee, who brings such a joyful and positive energy to the front lobby! She's not only warm and approachable but also incredibly knowledgeable -- exactly the person you want greeting families and representing the heart of the district. I also have to rave about Susie Flores -- she is the definition of hardworking and dependable! Sweet as can be, and you can tell she genuinely cares about delivering results and making sure things are running smoothly behind the scenes. And let's not forget Stephanie, who made my experience even better by quickly expediting my daughter's application -- which is what first brought me to the office. Thanks to her, everything was handled seamlessly and efficiently. Because of this amazing team and the clear sense of dedication I've seen already, I'm truly excited to watch my daughter thrive in her new middle school environment. I'm also looking forward to seeing the incredible improvements that I know the district is already prioritizing at Culver City Middle School. It's great to see how much care is going into: Renovating and repainting the buildings and hallways Deep-cleaning the campus grounds, walkways, and removing those old gum stains from high-traffic areas Fresh landscaping and lawn care for the school fields Repainting the field lines and numbers in the P.E. areas and gyms Addressing the sanitation needs in the gyms and athletic spaces to ensure they are clean, safe, and ready for student use Improving overall campus cleanliness -- inside and out Enhancing security and monitoring around the school -- especially near rear areas like the bike lanes, field perimeters, and other less-visible spots I know that by the start of the school year, the district will have made sure no detail is overlooked and that every part of the campus will reflect the same level of pride and care I've experienced from the district office staff. It's clear CCUSD is on the right path and committed to giving students the safe, clean, and inspiring environment they deserve -- and I can't wait to see all the positive changes coming! I'll return periodically for updates on my experience with CCUSD and Culver City Middle School, blessings

As a substitute teacher here I highly recommend this place for work. Teacher salaries are very low…read morein Los Angeles, in such cases I wouldn't recommend being a teacher. Resources tend to be lower, help and guidance limited. However this is all subjective on one's placement. As a substitute I have been helped and guided in my questions, assignments and each school is prepared to ensure I am able to teach classes I am assigned. Unfortunately no unions exist for substitute teachers. If you decide to teach make sure it's at a district that pays what your worth. You should acquire a large pay increase after your masters in education not only $1,200 for all your work, trauma, pain, struggle and tears. Highly recommend working in another field until they decide to value and respect teachers.

It was a domino…read moreeffect starting with the influx of more private school families moving over to Richland with their entitled behavior, then Covid, then a few families with insanely litigious approach to dealing with the staff not meeting their demands. The principal and coordinator both quit because the families became just too much to deal with. We lost a lot of truly wonderful teachers. Now we have a principal who is rude and oblivious and always defensive. She's all talk and no action and has no energy whatsoever. Our former principal, who granted had some shortcomings as well, was such a positive presence on campus. He engaged with families and students in an upbeat and excited manner every day. I wasn't his biggest fan, but the environment that he fostered was really special. We felt like we had a voice. Like he cared what the parents thought. This new principal acts like we as parents are always in the way or annoying her or doing something wrong. She doesn't remember anyone who isn't constantly kissing her behind. I've had many face to face conversations with her and she still never knows who I am or who my children are. We used to be welcome on campus, it was such a warm and loving environment. Now you have to jump through a thousand hoops to get approved to volunteer and for some reason only the select few parents get approved.

We moved to Westdale (Mar Vista) a little over five years ago and I have to say that it has been…read moreamazing to witness the evolution of Richland Avenue over those years. Committed parents, energetic teachers and staff and a dedicated Principal have turned Richland into a hidden gem of a neighborhood school. With about 300 students, Richland provides a comfortable, family-like environment with all of the academic support and encouragement of an Advanced Learning School. We have a learning garden on campus, after school French classes and Arts, Music and Sciences programs. My daughter is in the TK/K class, which she loves. I have to say that as a parent, I don't take for granted the fact that she adores her teachers and says "Bonjour" every time she sees Principal Granade (who knows every students' name). She feels comfortable asking questions, interacting with everyone at our school and is 100% encouraged to be herself. All that and her teachers have above and beyond supported her love of math and science. Just in case it's helpful as a frame of reference, my daughter's first, school experiences were spent at a reputable, private preschool and my entire K-12th grade experience was spent at two, small private schools. Richland is my first public school experience and I truly believe that my daughter is being nurtured, encouraged and challenged academically just as I was growing up.
