Don't get be wrong, I'm not trying to be bias just because I went to school here, but because I been to a lot of the other middle schools, none of them have as safe of a campus as well as the amount of great staff that actually cares about students well being. I have been visiting many schools the past ten years, from volunteering to just pure visiting, and if you're thinking between Garvey Intermediate, Temple, Ynez, and all the other schools, please put Garvey as your consideration! Because trust me, your kid won't miss a thing. Best of all, there are many electives kids can choose from. From arts to choir, from band to yearbook and journalism. Why go private at New Ave school when you can save a bunch of money trying out a public middle school? From a lot of my friends that went to private schools they claim that private didn't teach them anything, but was just more enforced on the dress codes and rules. Not saying it's bad to go to private or anything but think of all the money you save!

Unprofessional. My son has so much trauma due to this school. The principal and some teachers…read moreshouldn't be in this profession anymore. My son is autistic and all this school caused was Trauma from isolating him in the class room to not believing him when he was being bullied. Instead blamed my son for everything instead of taking accountability. The staff was rude and unprofessional with me trying to deny me or my parent rights. The Principal Ms Wilson has claimed to be an educator for over 20 years but has treated my son so poorly. She is very wishy washy and only stands up for her teachers even if they are in the wrong. The teacher posted my son in his seat isolated from the other students. I'm am so happy that my son is no longer at this school and is now at Washington.

On the grass field, you could play sports like football and softball with your friends. Many teachers and students are generally very nice, however some can be quite strict. I personally think some teachers give out WAY too much homework, but some can be terrible. Brightwood goes from TK-8th grade, which is nice if you don't want your kid to transition to another school. Overall, you will most likely make friends here and be ready for high school in the future.

The teacher I have right now is one of the best teachers I've had. This school has a very big upstairs area including a very big grass field, volleyball area, playground, handball, and basketball court. I kind of wish that there was an actual net for the volleyball court, but overall it's pretty big. I personally think that not all the restrooms are clean especially the one's without mirrors. This school goes from TK-8 so your children don't have to transition to different schools. I also recommend this school to people. I loved this school growing up though and it's pretty easy to make friends here.

I am immensely grateful that they have developed leadership skills and become proficient public speakers during their time at the school.

We were very fortunate to have our daughter join Clairbourn's Junior Pre-K Class led by Mrs Rankin…read moreand her TA, Ms Macchi. My daughter was attending a Montessori school prior to our looking into Clairbourn, and I felt that she needed more opportunities to perk her growing curiosity in life. Clairbourn School definitely has an abundant resources and opportunities to provide! What really made me so happy about switching over to Clairbourn was their strong emphasis on teaching and instilling kindness and respect for one another. Clairbourn also really felt like a family, a very caring and welcoming community. Every event they put on is so carefully thought out. Their back-to-school STEM event was amazing, the Grandparents/Parents Appreciation Days were so special, their Entrepreneur/Family BBQ was so much fun and their Christmas Show production was so well put-together. Unfortunately COVID hit us all by surprise in March 2020. I applaud how quickly Mrs Rankin learned and adapted to providing a virtual learning setting for the remainder of the school year. She personally dropped off weekly activity kits for my daughter and surprised us with a photo book at the end of the year with snapshots of our daughter's remote learning journey. We were looking forward to joining Ms Rubio's Pre-K class this past year, but due to LA County's Safer at Home mandate, their preschool was not able to open for in-person learning for Fall 2020. In the meantime, their head of school, Dr Patzlaff, and their lower school director, Mrs Paciorek, were very attentive and provided guidance on age appropriate activities our kids could engage in and continue in their development. They've been very communicative throughout this past year and very flexible and understanding of each family's situation. Your child will be loved at Clairbourn School--200%! You will have no doubts.

But, for the past 5 months I've brought this up multiple times to the teachers and tutors and my child still has been failing 4 out of 6 classes. They don't check homeworks and when they do, it's still wrong. When brought to their attention, the blame is put on the child instead and do not own up to the inefficiencies and deficiencies in their system and their staff. If you want an after school pick up baby sitter for 3 hours, this is the place for you and kids. However, if you're looking for an after school enrichment program for your kids, please look elsewhere. If you're still considering this place, ask for a sit in and see for yourself what kind of place this is.

Sister Kathleen is an angel who helped us so much during the pandemic. Covid cut our income by a third and the school provided our daughter a scholarship (she is an A student) plus financial aid so she could continue at Ramona. We are so thankful to this school and hope to repay them in the near future for all their kindness. They also work on social issues like bringing attention to human trafficking and clean water. The parents are a good mix of cultures and so are the teachers. All the girls I have spoken to are polite and are encouraged to become ambassadors for the school. Overall it's a well rounded school and no wonder they are the oldest Catholic school in Los Angeles county! They were established in 1889! A grateful parent.

My alma mater. Woot Woot! (sidenote: I love how literally EVERYTHING is on Yelp)…read more I would like to think of us as the underdogs of the local area. Established in 1994, GHS is a relatively young and small school, but I think it's a pretty decent school with good academic potential (at least as of 2006). ACADEMICS: If you want an education, you can definitely get a quality one at GHS. Back in 2002-2006, I could tell that about half the students didn't really care about getting an education and were just going through the motions, but for those willing to seek out the Honors/AP track, there is plenty of opportunity to be challenged and to excel. - Pros: 1) Excellent teachers in the Honors/AP track. The AP teachers do a wonderful job prepping you for the tests. 2) All senior English teachers make the UC Personal Statements a mandatory assignment, so you at least get that much help in the college application process. - Cons: 1) There wasn't a very large selection of AP classes to take, so hopefully they have expanded/will expand their AP offerings. 2) The rigor of the AP classes did not adequately prepare me for the workload in college, but then again, few schools do. EXTRACURRICULARS: There is a lot to get involved with. Speech & Debate, Orchestra, Band, FBLA, a lot of volunteering clubs, Journalism, Yearbook, etc. Speech is probably the most famous program. FBLA was among the top in the Gold Coast section when I was there. Competing was always fun. Also did Journalism and Yearbook. VERDICT: I would say this is a A Do-It-Yourself school. There's no hand-holding and babying, but if you know what you want to achieve, what college you want to end up at, there are plenty of resources to help you get there. You will succeed if you put your mind to it. (Proof: Plenty of my friends were admitted to top schools. Going to UCLA is oftentimes like going to a mini-GHS reunion. But I was a rebel and chose USC over Cal and UCLA =P) - GHS C/O '06.
