Our family is in our ninth year at St. Brendan School and it's been wonderful. 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.

Let's back up for a minute and reminisce back to 1987. I have also graduated from Hollywood High…read moreSchool. Wow, 39 years ago. This review is mostly a graduation that I have attended on the 6th of June.. this year. One of my friends' grandchild and her sister who are twins also graduated from this lovely, beautiful, historic, ancient school that I adore and is SO near and dear to my heart. Yes, until today. Those great years, moments will never be forgotten. And they shouldn't. The school was divided into many different buildings. From their Science building, to Dance, English, Math, to the Martial Arts building. Just to name a few. They also hold different activities at this school when school is out. Like meetings, different types of celebrations inside their fairly large auditorium. The level of education is pretty good. So is their curriculum. When we graduated, we graduated at the iconic Hollywood Bowl. I thought that they stopped doing it, but the tradition is still the same. I remember we had to do a lot of fundraising in order to graduate at the Bowl. It was very exciting. Graduation was packed with a lot of students giving their speeches, along with their staff members. It went pretty smoothly.. We were sitting on the bleachers and could hardly see the ceremony. Thank God for the TVs on both sides of the bowl and the loud speakers. The Hollywood Bowl as some of us know, has different sections for merchandise, concession stands and plenty of restrooms. A lot of my favorite celebrities also attended this school back in the days. Like John Ritter, Judy Garland & Lana Turner. Just to name a few. If you want to sign your child up for this school, no need to look anywhere else. Highly recommend! Parking is at the Hollywood Bowl. Go Sheiks! That was our mascot and still remains the same. Congrats to all the graduates of 2026!!!

Love the school's dance programs! Location is convenient, and staff id always friendly!…read more This time around, I came for a dance performance! I was blown away by the dancers, and the organization of the performance! The performing arts magnet always has something going on, and I love that they keep the students inspired and connected! I do wish they would figure out a parking structure, because sometimes the gates are closed and it's hard for parents and family to park when there's an event we're there to see! One other thing that could be a nice addition is concessions. There usually aren't many things to buy food/beverage wise at the school's events, and with some of the events going on for hours, especially football games, I think more effort can be made in that area! Looking forward to continued performances from the dance team!

The gym itself is genuinely beautiful, clean well maintained and spacious with a great overall atmosphere for sporting events. It definitely feels like a high-quality facility and made for an enjoyable viewing experience in many ways. that said one concern stood out to me, the railings and the sitting area seem lower than expected and don't offer as much support as they should. 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.
