If I could give this school a NEGATIVE FIVE STARTS --- I WOULD!…read more I'm just now taking the time to write a review on this school. My son (then in kindergarrten) had to go to this school cause I worked in DTLA and he got an exception to attend a school that was in the zip code of my job. YIKES. At the beginning he was OK, then by the time kindergarden ended, he kept delaying getting out of the car to go to school. Then we noticed kids crying at the start of every schools day. From the kicking and bruising the student did to him below the dining table, to the older students holding him down and telling the other kinder - 2nd grades to hit him...they tortured him. Finally, we noticed and offered him a chance to try another school at the start of first grade. He wanted to stay, but by the end of 2nd grade he asked to go to another school. The person who reviewed this school in 2009 is absolutely right. This school is in the middle of a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. If you are not from their HOOD, you will be tortured. The principal didn't seem to think there was a problem. She kept insisting that she couldn't make kids play together if they int' care when I tried to tell her something was wrong. My son is now a 9th grader and still tells of being hit, kicked, pushed and terrorized daily. PARENTS, IT YOU HAVE A CHOICE ---- PICK ANOTHER SCHOOL! THIS ONE ISN'T IT!

A truly special school that we feel so fortunate to have found. There are many reasons we…read moreappreciate El Rio, but one that grows daily is our appreciation for a no-tech/low-tech learning environment. As data mounts about the harms of pervasive tech in schools, it is simply not something we have to worry about.

It's hard to write a review of a school that had its inaugural year smack dab in the middle of a…read morepandemic, which is why I'm giving it three stars instead of the two that I would be inclined to give it under less extraordinary circumstances. I'll start with some positives, the staff, teachers, and parent community at the school are lovely and kind, and the student body makeup seems to have a good mix of race and socioeconomic backgrounds. The school is lottery-based, so their student body's diversity depends on who they target via marketing efforts. The first red flag I had with the school was attending a parent education night, and the person leading the meeting mentioned that the 3rd-grade class spends the year studying stories from the Old Testament, starting with the "myth" of Cain and Able. Another mother and I did a triple take, we asked, "How is this possible in a public school?" The reply was that they teach these stories a "myths" and not as biblical stories. Around the same time, there was a rumble amongst the parents because some of the children in the older grades were told not to use black and brown crayons because they "weren't as pretty" as the other colors of crayons. In the midst of all that was happening in the world, this felt extremely inappropriate and off-base. That was my second red flag. This prompted me to do some deeper research into the origins of Waldorf because I had come into this school thinking this was a play-based, child-centered approach that didn't stress hard academics in Kindergarten and taught reading when it was developmentally appropriate, etc. The origins of Waldorf are laden with "spiritual", religious and racist undertones and the founder of Waldorf Rudolf Steiner was simply put a religious kook and a racist. This article sums up Waldorf nicely https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/waldorf-schools-are-inherently-racist-cults-91193d1fbef6 There is no science in the curriculum, which they may change later, and if your child turns out to be more academically inclined you will either need to get a tutor to expose them to more complex materials or find them another school. I recently had my child assessed by an independent tutor for first-grade readiness as we are transferring to another school and he had only been exposed to 15-20% of the materials he needed to learn to be ready for 1st grade. Obviously, this was an upsetting revelation. At the end of the day, Waldorf was not for us and I would encourage everyone to research it deeply before committing to having their child attend any Waldorf-based school.

Living in Los Angeles is usually a dream lifestyle most people can't afford and I've been blessed…read moreenough to have a smooth transition from the calm of hacienda heights to the hustle and bustle of L.a. That is of course, until it was time to enroll my child in school. Growing up in a beautiful area and attending great schools meant that I wanted nothing less for my child. As I searched for private and charter schools I was very unenthused about the service and curriculum they offered. A part of me wondered if I had made the proper choice by moving to the Los Angeles area. Finally, I looked into public schools but was skeptical. With all the negative publicity, safety concerns, and lack of funding for the public school system I was mortified but attended a small orientation anyway. Upon entering the campus I was guided by smiling staff to a library for the children and then seated. Waiting for the orientation to start I couldn't help but notice how organized and thoughtful the staff was. They offered headsets to Spanish speakers and a translator to answer their questions along with those of the parents of English speaking children. Once started the principle wasted no time in outlining goals, expectations, and benchmarks the school had for children and their parents. I was impressed by the PowerPoint and overall direction the school administrators were trying to take. As I continually drilled the principal with questions and concerns he did not budge. His enthusiasm and commitment assured me I was at the right place and that my princess would be obtaining the education she deserved and I expected. Overall, I'm so blessed to have stumbled on to such a rare gem. The campus and staff easily make this the right choice for parents in the Los Angeles area.
