    I almost forgot to review this people. Well lets see the security wanted to fight with me because I…read moretraveled occasionally on my Cannodale Supersixx Evo which is $10k. Maybe these people aren't use to using efficient forms of transportation with sleek cutting edge features but it was pretty scary for some. I was just going to pick up my whipper snapper and he got ghettofied with it for no reason. The gang members chased me with a firearm. If your not from the community make sure you have the heart of someone from Compton, Watts, or the Bronx because the principle miss pope act that way in my opinion. After the loc up police came to my home with a restraining order then I found out about their no child left behind policy. Basically if your kid is too smart they divide and concur to the best of their ability. I missed my sons grad due to this order and no longer have a relationship with him after a track history of being a great dad. Given that I'm personally a survivor of the roits of South Central Los Angeles where I cut my teeth it is interesting to see teachers with no low class thinking or slim experience acting so ruff. Some teachers was cool I even consider leaving my wife for one since she was so flirty and my old lady was acting up but that's another affair. It was a mess. I digressed, the main point is that they didn't want my son on social media with me. I'm use to places like Angeles Mesa where teaching and reaching out to family was something to folks. In closure, its a fact that this school has prejudice towards Hispanic, mixed, and white people. I don't recommend. In fact, the cut my sons hair without asking in a afterschool program. The reason why is because my son has lots of education with no family heritage. I can no longer identify with him as of the moments she decided I was too good for her Roman empire. P/S Hi to all that respected us when we were a family.

    My son has grown so much during his first year at this school. The recognition they give, like…read moreawards for perfect attendance, is very motivating and rewarding for the students. Homework is simple and manageable, which I really appreciate as a parent. Communication with the school is consistent--they send emails regularly and also use a parent app, which makes it easy to stay informed. I would love even more opportunities to connect with teachers, especially to hear about my child's day or week. I've seen a big improvement in my son's reading and writing, and I truly give credit to the teachers for that. The staff is friendly, and both drop-off and pick-up are always smooth and organized. Overall, I am very grateful and satisfied with this school, and I'm looking forward to my daughter starting here as well.

    We are very happy at Kipp Vida. Our son is excited to go and…read moremade great progress in reading, writing and math. The teachers are communicating well, there is an app for parental communication where we get updates about the kids, school events as well as community events like food drives and family programs. The school is clean and well structured in regards to drip off and pick up. There a food programs and after care programs. We will send our youngest one as well, as soon she is old enough.

    This was a performance in October 2025. It was so adorable and well organized in my opinion. As a first time parent here it went smoothly.

The early education center is down the street from the elementary school. The early education center services children ages 2-5. The children must be fully potty trained. The school's hours are Monday -Friday 6:30am-5:30pm. The school even has services fir children with special needs. The school issues a creative curriculum. All the teachers have college degrees and are required to have additional training hours every year. The program includes two meals and an afternoon snack.
