This review is regarding the Summer Camp at Salem Lutheran private school…read more We were told they only accept a number of students and even though they are all pretty much together the little ones would be watched over and be together most the time. Absolutely not. They have small children ages 4 years old mixed in with children going into 7th grade the entire time! They use the excuse that majority of the kids attending are related to each other and cry if they cannot be with their sibling/cousin and that's why they put them all together. Disregarding kids that have no relatives present, and they do not provide age appropriate instructions. Rather, they allow their TA's to give instructions to all the kids, instead of asking of a small child can even read or write. They ask the older kids to take care of the small ones and even take them to the restroom to wash their hands or go to the bathroom. If you want your child to have age appropriate instructions or activities, along with help to go to the restroom please do not go here! The mix of preteens with kids who have not even started TK is wildly inappropriate and they use "family" and older older kids being "nurturing" as an excuse to not separate kids, hire age specific teachers and to actually provide age appropriate care for kids with a huge age gap.

The environment is so conducive to learning. I feel she is so protected. The class of students who attend are completely different than most public schools. Only bad thing is it's hard to get in.

I couldn't be happier with our experience at Franklin. I'm so glad my kids got in, and every teacher they have had has been outstanding. Sad to read the entry of the student who was bullied. But luckily we are in a class with amazing parents, supportive staff, and amazing kids. They have music, gardening, and amazing after school opportunities. Their PTA is the BEST PTA I've ever been a part of. (and I've worked at many schools) Franklin rocks.

He made a point of emphasizing that "many parents here have backgrounds in engineering and science"--apparently his measure of worthiness. The assumption that I didn't? Laughable, given where I studied. But I shouldn't have to justify my credentials to be treated with basic respect. For a school that markets itself on Christian values, the lack of humility, grace, or genuine welcome was staggering. If your faith means anything, it should mean treating people with dignity regardless of perceived status. Dr. Boysen failed that test completely. We won't be back.

The best decision I ever made was placing my daughter in Incarnation. The interview process went…read morewell, Dr. Boysen is an amazing principal. They asked my daughter questions and make sure everyone going to be happy and it was a great fit. We got the acceptance letter a few days later. When inquiring about the financial aid, he responded to my emails immediately and I felt very welcome from the beginning. Also I am very grateful for the financial aid my daughter is getting for this reason she is attending Incarnation. Again Dr. Boysen is very involved in the school and students daily life. Every morning when I drop my daughter off he is there happy smiling ready to get the day going for the kids! I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to place my daughter in this school. My daughter also tells me that the principal is outside during recess talking to the students and making sure everyone is happy! The teachers do care they respond to my emails the same day. There is a lot of activities in the school that kids get the kids engaged in their education. Some of the other reviews mention that the school only cares about money that's not the issue. Again when you truly care for the education of your children, private school some times is the best option which it does involve money. Just like going to a University versus a Cal state in the university you're going to get more 1 on 1 attention. Yes... The lunch is around five dollars but that saves so much time for me in the morning and my daughter gets to have lunch with her friends at school. Some people pay five dollars for a cup of coffee, but the lunch here is great and my daughter gets to be with friends and other students in a loving environment! I would recommend the school 100% it goes pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. It's definitely better than the schools in the area. And wearing a uniform does bring her responsibility and a sense of pride in her appearance. If you're looking into this school make sure to look on the website and inquire you will get a response within the same day. I hope this helps:) Mrs McKim The secretary is very helpful and patient as she answers all of your questions. She is definitely welcoming and I am so thankful for this campus!

This school leaves an extremely negative impression. The atmosphere here is tense and unpleasant…read moredue to the constant conflicts between students of different nationalities, where some impose their own rules without respecting local norms and those around them. The school staff does not respond properly to serious problems -- the loss or damage of personal items is often ignored, and refunds or refunds for items cannot be obtained. Teachers behave rudely, do not show respect to students and do not try to create a comfortable learning environment. In general, it's hard to be here, and the level of organization leaves much to be desired.

I snitched, and they did exactly what they said. They knocked me to the ground and I fainted. I wish the staff would not have the stupidity of a 2-year-old and actually find bullies around campus. I saw those same kids bully this nerd. (No offense). The nerd also got pounded to the floor. He tried to fight back but they grabbed him by the wrist and twisted it. I know how High Schools are and why the kids have to go through this, but I did not know they were this bad. Overall don't take your kid to High School unless he/she is under supervision. Make sure the staff understand this. I hope this message finds you well and you know about the violence caused in these schools. Make a difference.

I have visited and thoroughly explored many independent schools in LA and throughout California. I…read morehave yet to find a school that comes close to what Crestview offers. I have a 1st grader currently enrolled (started in kinder) that is absolutely flourishing and meeting his full potential both academically and social/emotionally. Small class sizes, the exuberance of specialty classes, the educational/developmental prowess of the administration, the teacher's cutting-edge instruction, and the kind and warm community of families are just a few of the reasons that makes this school a treasured gem. Most independent schools talk the talk with elementary education expertise, but Crestview lives and embodies its mission every day. My son is thrilled every morning to get to school, has fostered an invaluable love of learning, and is sweet, kind and worldly at the age of 6. All you need to do is visit and walk through the school to see the diversity, observe the variety of learning styles being nurtured, and feel the special warmth that fills the campus. The small class sizes (average 15-17 kids per class I'd say) make it so that they are able to teach to the individual child while also executing extremely beneficial group lessons. Crestview truly respects childhood and is a reliable partner in our son's overall development. I would love to keep the school a little kept secret, but you should do yourself a favor and visit this school if the things I described sound appealing to you and your family. You'll wonder why you didn't find it earlier.
