    I'm especially thrilled that they have recently built-out their middle school program to include 7th and 8th grade.

    I cannot say enough of this amazing school! I have a unique perspective as I am a parent here as…read morewell as a teacher of 18 years (at a public school). When I was given a tour four years ago, I knew what questions to ask regarding the curriculum and was impressed by the rigor, the class sizes, and the feel of community. So I decided to make the investment and move my son from a nearby public school to Rolling Hills Country Day School. One of the reasons was my son was diagnosed with moderate ADD and I knew he needed more personal attention and would thrive in a smaller school setting. It was the best decision! I do admit it took him a few months to get acclimated due to the academic rigor because the standards were different at his previous school. However, I loved it so much that a year later, I transferred my daughter there and now my third child attends RHCDS! I wish my kids could personally write a review. They absolutely love their school. They are eager to get to school early to play on the field before class! This school offers them a place where they feel safe and genuinly cared for. They not only have the academic rigor that in today's society is imperative, but they also prioritize in teaching values. Be a kind human is their motto and they definitely instill this on a daily basis. Learning and living by these values is what a child needs to thrive and be happy so they can focus in school. My son is now in middle school (upper school) and I know he will no doubt be prepared for any top rated high school. They focus on giving back to the community, character/values, teach independence, all the while really preparing these kids for high school. This school truly offers a fine balance. They have specialized teachers for various subjects, including technology. They also focus on presentation skills and even my little 7 year old has presented in front of the lower school! This is such an important communication skill that is disregarded in many elementary schools. I have also made amazing friends at RHCDS and I truly feel I am part of a family, or small community, even though I am a working mom and am not able to be there as much as I would like. I know my kids are cared for, safe, happy, challenged academically, and taught the same values that I teach at home. RHCDS is truly one of a kind and am so grateful to be a part of it.

    We have been part of the RHCDS community for 5 years and with multiple children currently attending…read moreor having gone through elementary and middle school, we highly recommend the school to families looking for a quality education and nurturing environment for their children. We have been treated like family over the years - our children feel safe and known by their teachers and any questions or requests to the administration or teachers have been promptly and thoughtfully addressed. Our oldest child and middle school graduate, who now attends public high school, feels like she was well prepared academically and personally by teachers who challenged her to think critically and by expectations to be kind and respectful. There is obviously no perfect school and we are grateful to have found a school that aligns with our values!

    Blessed to Have Found This School Family!…read more Although we've only been at the school since November, it feels like we've found a second home. Transitioning from Peninsula Montessori can be a big change for a little one, but the staff--especially my daughter's phenomenal PreK teacher, Mrs. Patti--made it seamless and positive. What stands out is the school's genuine dedication to each student and family. Their mission to foster a love of learning and compassion for others, centered in faith, is evident everywhere. Academically, we have seen our daughter thrive and progress by leaps and bounds in this nurturing environment. The leadership is inspiring; it's an all-woman admin team, and the principal makes a point to connect personally, looking every child in the eye during morning greetings. We are profoundly grateful and blessed to have found a community we trust wholeheartedly with our child.

    St. John Fisher School is an amazing community school! We came to this lovely K-8 school two years…read moreago and could not be happier. First, we were impressed by the responsiveness of the staff and the clear focus on academics. While we moved to Palos Verdes for the schools, of which I am an alum, we have been so much happier at SJF. We found that the teachers are truly devoted to their students, and they pay attention to whole child development. Teachers go above and beyond responding to parents' concerns. Not only does the school foster intellectual development, but they also have community service requirements as well as service to each other and various athletic programs. And check out those drama productions - they are entertaining even if you do not have a child participating! Both of my daughters have been at their happiest at SJF. They both have smaller classes where everyone is a friend. I love coming to volunteer and seeing all of the grades interacting, and all students helping each other out. My oldest has even developed such an affinity for Mass that she goes during the week in the summer. It is a special place.

    GO PANTHERS! Growing…read moreup in Palos Verdes is an experience all in its own. All the pricey oversized homes, luxury sedans and SUVs, and designer labels are enough to blind a person, but I'm not complaining. I'm not one of those people that wants to go back and re-live high school by any means... believe me, four years were enough. But I did have some of the best teachers here, and after switching counselors, some great help with all that stressful college business. There was a club for any and all interests that a living person could have, a sport team for virtually every sport in existence, and national awards and recognitions enough to put other high schools to shame. I really don't have any college pride, but I'm proud to be a PVPHS alumni.

WILL BE TAKING ACTION WITH SCHOOL DISTRICT****** Would love to see what FRANK CALIFANO [athletic director] has to say on behalf of inappropriate behavior BY PARENTS School that takes no accountability. Lets their students and GHETTO parents bully. Ridiculous and classless. These people should feel disgusted. Never want my child to play a game against these monsters again. Parents belittling my child's team as we were exciting field. Have video evidence, will be coming forward. You Frank, need to have a talk with rowdy parents. How dare they speak is such FOUL manner about CHILDREN over a soccer game. A game is a game. Such psychopaths. Already called and tried to speak directly, was met with shortness, rudeness and told to email if I need direct contact. I encourage your "coaches" to take a course on human decency and interpersonal intelligence.

    GREAT SCHOOL. This school is very, very well funded by the district. As a student from this school,…read moreI believe that the elective classes they offer are AMAZING. I started to peruse my dream of a Photographer/Videographer at one of the classes offered. All core classes are very well organized and equipped with GREAT teachers, in most cases. Talking about teachers, not ALL of them are the best. I went through some teachers, not pointing names out, who were just... so bad that they deserve to get fired. There were 2 of them. That is a pretty low amount! One of them got fired this year, so there is only one more to go. That one teacher who is still left has a very low temper. He WILL curse out students outside. Looking at the bright side, this school's staff is mostly all nice. Counselors are great, principals are VERY understanding. I recently got in a little trouble for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I will not go too deep into it, but I ended up getting suspended for a stupid reason. But now that I look back to it, I think he did the right choice. The lunch area is pretty convenient. Tabled are offered to every student, a snack bar is available, and they serve not the best lunches, but they are still acceptable. The lower fields are all available to students during break. Sports equipment is leased to students. Overall, I think this is the best choice of Intermediate school in Palos Verdes over Miralest and PVIS.

    Review #995 2026-065…read more Let me preface that this review is for an event that was held at/hosted by South High School. Opened (3rd) in 1957, South High School is 1 of 4 high schools serving students in grades 9 - 12 in Torrance Unified School District; according to their website, they're the #1 ranked high school in TUSD. The school also rents its space to Asahi Gakuen, a weekend non-profit Japanese language school. Did you know "American Beauty" was filmed at South High School during 1998 - 1999 winter break? For 2025 - 2026, the school is helmed by Principal Jim Evans & supported by Assistant Principal Dr. Tera Black. The 2026 TUSD "Academic Pentathlon" was held at South High School, hosting since post pandemic. It's an annual academic competition for 4th - 5th grade students that tests their knowledge on multiple (5) subjects: math, science, social science, art, literature. Winners receive medals & trophies for their school. Unlike Math Field Day, there's no county (LACOE) competition since it's primarily for middle school students. My son competed for 1 of 4 spots representing Hickory Elementary's 4th Grade Team. The hour-long competition consisted of 2 teams of 4 (comprised of 2 4th grade & 5th grade students) for their school to answer 50 questions; it was announced at the end that there were 49 questions due to an error. There was a short break at the midpoint of the competition, & another at the end while the scores are tabulated. The school's score is the calculated mean of their 2 teams. Unlike Math Field Day, there's no "trail mix" snacks offered during breaks so we gave M a quickie snack at home before the competition, & added a granola bar in case he needed a little lift. The auditorium wasn't as packed with competitors... I think maybe 1/2 of TUSD's elementary schools participated? Though it was standing room only with all the parents & families out to support their children. 2026 Academic Pentathlon Winners 1st: Victor ES (40.5 points) 2nd: Hickory ES (38 points; so proud of my l'il guy & his teammates!) 3rd: Towers ES (35 points) No back-to-back wins for Hickory ES (placed 1st in 2025)... M plans to come back next year to help regain the honors before he graduates. =D Congrats to all the lifelong learners... great job!!

The people working there were so nice and patient with all 4 showings. It was put on by Anchorless Productions and the Friendship foundation. First, parking is so easy right in front to the theater. The theater itself is beautiful and spotless. It is comfortable and seating is easy. They are great with disabled people and are just super nice. They have it all, from the cool curtain to a super sound system. We were so lucky to be able to use this venue for the play. Before the play we walked around just a little bit, a lot of it was locked as it was a weekend, but the football field is so pretty and there is a tennis area. I think this school does a lot of performing arts. I wish all schools looked like this.

They focus on developing good social skills through play time in the yard (which features many fun play structures, trucks, toys and a beautiful tree providing shade).

My g'daughter post-Broadacres attended 3 preschools before going to Kindergarten, but the only one she remembers and wants to return to is Broadacres. Ms. Betty and her staff are 'old school', stressing manners, how to feed horses (palm up), sneezing in your elbow, being respectful of others, and, of course, Ms. Betty's accordion music. If you want those wonderful basics for your children, go to Broadacres. After 4 years, my g'daughter remembers and returns w/me to see Ms. Betty (give her a hug) and feed the resident horsies carrots. Broadacres is so much more than a preschool, it's a lifetime memory.
