We are such big fans of Saint Ignatius! The school is small but up-to-date. The classrooms are…read moresuper clean. And the extras make it feel special. The kids have the option of after school activities like soccer, chess and dance. The teachers, I could not recommend more. We dubbed our teacher, Miss Honey. (Matilda reference ) every child is given equal attention so that no child falls behind. We've seen our son's grades improve along with his knowledge. Our teachers and our principal are amazing at communication. We always get a response and all of our questions are always addressed. Truly feel blessed to be there. It feels like home.

St. Ignatius has been a family school for many years. I love the feeling of community. The teachers…read moreand staff are very attentive to the students needs both academic and socially/emotionally. There is a lot of hands on learning through projects and small group learning which teaches kids how to cooperate amongst each other. This is a skill that many kids loose but not the St Ignatius kids. Love the fact that they still have a very good teacher to student ratio, which gives the opportunity for teachers to give their students the attention they need and deserve. Great school and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a very attentive community.

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!

I would give this shit hole a 0 but I can't so one star. If your thinking of sending your kids here…read morethink again, I came to this school 3rd grade to 8th grade and let me tell you all the things I saw, witnessed, and had to go to THERAPY FOR. Starting of strong with the horrible principal Dr Boyson, who did NOTHING when a little girl in kindergarten was going BALD from stress from being bullied. The principal was made aware of the situation and did nothing. The reason he did nothing is even worse, the principal allegedly didn't do anything because the bully's parents had more money and donated more for the school. Dr. Boyson also was aware of another child getting bullied and still did nothing, this little boy was in around 2nd grade allegedly was getting bullied so bad he wanted to end himself. He allegedly did go to therapy as well. Another time Dr. Boyson didn't do shit was when one of my closet friends was getting bullied and again the principal was made aware of the situation and again nothing. This friend of mine was in 8th grade and she also was in a horrible mental state to the point were she needed therapy. This next time is even worse because not only was the principal aware of the situation, he chose to lie. This time arround I was getting bullied. I told the principal because me and his family were somewhat friends, the principal wrote it down. At this time in my life I was being bullied so bad that I lost all my friends and I felt completely alone. I would shake before entering that hell hole, cry every night, and it would be very hard for me to do well in school. The teachers started noticing the bullying and ended up talking to me in private a lot of times "checking up on me" but every time they saw it they never did anything. They just told me to ignore it. I ended up getting suicidal thoughts and that's when me and my family knew it was time to leave the school. When we told them we were going to leave the school the principal had a bullshit meeting were all the teachers smiled and said that they didn't see any bullying. ( this was clearly bullshit because if they "didn't see anything" why would they have talks with me privately ) my parents decided to trust me and we left the school. Soon after I left we found out by one of the teachers that it was bullshit and that Dr Boyson told them to lie and forsed them not to do anything because the family's that were bullying me had more money and other kids so they can keep paying him for longer. Other than Dr Boyson being a shit principal, the school it self was poor. The church would take most of our money, and the present the school it self would pay the staff, so there we're fundraisers all the time, sometimes even every week. Even with all the fundraising there were hole in walls that were fixed with cardboard and duck tape. Next issue is that the "Spanish class" wasn't good at all the teacher was old and didn't know how to change things on Gradelink so she would give us all A pluses for nothing. The think about this teacher is that she would target random kids and yell and scream at them in front of the class. In her Spanish class she would teach us nothing, have us watch a movie and yell, or she would tell us to sing a song none of us knew the words to and yell at us. Of all the years I spent in her Spanish class I never learned how to say good morning. Next issue once your in third grade they just put you into and empty parking lot give you a ball and get mad at you if you don't play. There are many more issues that have happened during my time in this school many many more. If you are a student or a parent I encourage you to tell people what's actually going on in this shit hole. Thank you for this horrible experience I pray and hope that this school will do better.

Here are some things I…read morelove and some other observations: Love: 1) there is a very large active parent/family community at this school that cares deeply about our kids. Though ideas about implementation can differ, the sheer number of committed and involved grownups is wonderful. 2) there are some teachers here who love the students as they would love their own family, and it shows. 3) the whole community comes together a few times a year for performances, brainstorming sessions, supporting teachers, fundraisers, parents' night out, etc. 4) though there are strong differences of opinion on how things "should" be run, everyone does their utmost to ensure kids are well-resourced. 5) the greening project, though it looks different than the original plan, has created a more comfortable atmosphere for the kids 6) teachers assign projects to kids that really develop their whole person 7) the PTA works for the benefit ALL kids at the school and doesn't feel snobby to me at all (I grew up thinking PTA would be complain-y adults feeling holier-than-thou, but that's not the sense I get at all). They put on a TON of events for the school and really make it happen (career day, friendship dances, harvest festival, dine outs, guardian's night out, performance support, so many more things) 8) the special ed program has a teacher whose creative mind and heart are unparalleled (Ms Aquino) 9) Ms Pedroza (UTK/TK) is just THE BEST 10) Ms Kim (5th grade STEM) is WONDERFUL with the kids - helps them feel respected, seen, heard, competent, and provides huge opportunities for enrichment 11) Ms Olga (community rep) does a heck of a lot getting communications out, organizing, presenting, and making events happen 12) Ms Carmen and Ms Karla (front office) are wonderful humans AND keep the school running in huge ways 13) the school puts a LOT of effort into getting the arts and music available to kids. Grants for ukuleles, music teachers, art clubs, etc. are worked for and obtained regularly. I could go on and on. Any school you go to will have benefits and detractors, but these are some of the strengths I've witnessed personally. LAUSD Admin are working closely with the school right now (June 2026) to establish strong leadership by appointing a new principal, so the school is being followed closely for support.

The micro-school approach really caters to each individual student. 1. Awesome teachers and small class sizes offer exceptional individual attention. This allows thriving students to work ahead and those who need a little more support to both receive the customized care they deserve. 2. The principal has a vision. He utilizes all of the resources available and applies them to the students in a very targeted and distinctive manner. The school's standardized test scores quantitatively demonstrate this by improving year over year and outpacing those of neighboring schools. 3. I truly believe great families make a great school. We have both. Parents are honest, ethical, and actively participate in the progress of the school. 4. Holy Redeemer - St. James School is grounded in the morals and virtues of faith. Not easy to find in many schools nowadays. I am so grateful and happy to be part of the HRSJS Community.
