I had one teacher that was so good she was my French teacher and she was so kind to me I loved her so much I believe her name was Ms. Levine but I really have a terrible memory when it comes to names. And she was about to be married, the other thing I remember is that she had very very long hair. I was new to the school in 5th grade so I didn't know anyone and that is hard for kids. This is another reason I loved that teacher, besides being an excellent teacher she took extra time with me knowing how I was feeling. I loved Beverly Vista and I think it's a great school I believe I was very lucky to have gone there.

Our eldest daughter attended Hamilton and graduated from UC Davis in 2020, and is now graduating from her master's program at Stanford class of 2022. We currently have our youngest daughter graduating this year 2022 in the Hamilton music academy and deciding between Cal Poly San Louis Obispo or UCLA. MY POINT IS: This school has a lot of educational opportunities. You can be successful at Hamilton High school. It is ultimately what you make of it. I agree with some of the other reviews. Hamilton is not without problems (discipline, communication). All schools have problems. The key is navigating around those issues and still finding success. I think being able to thrive in an environment that can be challenging just makes you more resilient and prepared for the real world. Students need to find good peers, a learning community that they feel they belong to at Hamilton and in our experience they will succeed.

It's just feels like a fun place ...w lots of student-run clubs and music / bands in the quad at lunch etc. Hami is not close, but the drive is worth it.

Obviously LAUSD schools have their benefits and liabilities, but as a product of the school system who went on to graduate from UC Berkeley and USC Law, I have faith in the system and believe that each student has the potential to succeed if they take advantage of all the resources available to them, even if their parents aren't able or willing to be at home tutors. Their are some great teachers and programs at this school and even though I can't comment on the academic performance, I can say that the staff and teachers that I did come into contact with through my volunteer program were all good faith actors who put their heart and soul into educating the youth and I look forward to returning to the community next semester!!!!

Today I am ready to write a review for the blot so new principal Mrs. Misdukes, twice I had incidents where this principal is not responsible for the well beign of my child who attends this school. The latest incident was enough for me, my child third grader was punched and bullied by a 5th grader, when my husband and I approached the principal to address the issue she would not even come out of her office to address our concerns regarding our child's safety, she brushed us off and stated that the incident happened at the Youthservices so she is not responsible, I will post the pics if how this 5th grader left my kid's leg and the not so new principal did not address the issue took responsibility for my child's safety. I would not recommend this principal to run ANY school.

I recently attended a CCUSD Board Meeting to see why I heard so much negativity about the…read morerelationship between the administration, parents and staff in local newspapers and through word of mouth. I was appalled at how disrespectful parents were towards the teachers. Regardless of one's opinions about the curriculum, which has been quite an issue these last few years, some parents spoke so negatively to and about the teachers and their opinions. Not once did the administrators or school board members intervene on behalf of their teachers which seemed to give permission to this disgusting display of disrespect and humiliation. Certainly there must have been a way to support these teachers and these parents. I left feeling that this kind of discord trickles into every phase of a school's performance and reputation. CCHS is not how I remember it to be. I'm glad my kids graduated when there was an amicable relationship between the administrators, staff and parents.

Our daughter has attended Argo preschool for the last two years and it has been an incredible…read moreexperience for her and our family. The preschool director and the teachers are incredible, they love the kids so deeply and get to know all the families so well. The kids are challenged academically and it's been incredible to see how much our 4 year old has learned. They go on fun and exciting field trips, have access to extracurriculars and have a nice rotation of activities depending on the season (water play in summer, areal class in the fall etc). The hours are great for working parents and the kids are fed very healthy and interesting foods, helping to expand their palates. Each month they focus on a different global destination and they also learn about social issues in an age-appropriate way. I can't imagine a better preschool experience for our daughter and I'm so thankful for everything she has learned in such a short period of time!

A place that follows cutting edge research and embraces a joyful and loving atmosphere and works to free kids from the drudgery most schools unthinkingly and ill advisedly embrace. Argo Navis always has its heart in the right place and does what's best for kids----even when it hurts their bottom line. They are concerned with education not schooling. Wow! As an educator for over 30 years, I can't imagine a better school for my child; simply put: she is thriving there! The small class sizes and personalized teacher attention make the school unparalleled. They know her and work to help her find her passion. My kid has always loved making little newspapers. Guess what Argo did? They helped and supported her dream and published a school newspaper that she spearheaded---all in breath-taking speed, held up only by her. LOL. I have been involved with every type of school there is and believe me, something like this would never have happened in them or if it did, it would have taken so long and by the time the slow wheels of bureaucracy got it done, the passion and interest would have long dissipated. Argo's travel and real world experiences are the icing upon the cake. Scuba diving, babysitting class, sailing, aerial, hip hop dancing, World Peace camp. YOWZA! Every day, my child is happy and excited to get to school and I am thrilled to get here there. It is priceless. Yay Argo!

The teachers are top notch. They teach the traditional subjects in such a bright and engaging way, our daughter fell in love with subjects she never even felt comfortable with earlier in her life: science, writing, and math. Ms. Proctor has to be the best kept secret on the Westside. She is a dynamic, kind, no-B.S. leader. The administration spends ALL of their time crafting the best educational and social experience for our kids, not fundraising, boosting and assuaging egos, and creating unimpactful events. Everyone is low-key. Real. Our lives are changed by attending Echo. Their kids go on to the most selective secondary schools in Los Angeles. If your kids don't fit in those pods, they won't lead you astray. They'll shepherd you to where your particular kid will thrive and show them love all the way.

The Willows was the only school on my list that wasn't on the "Westside" and I was hesitant to even go to the tour because of that very reason, but I am so glad I did. Touring private schools is like being on the Bachelor. You get to know each other by going on dates (tours), spend money (applications), and one magical day (in March) you get a rose or not. Usually the process is very one sided being that there are way more applications than availability, but Willows never made me feel like they were dating anyone else. I toured a total of 5 schools, but Willows was the only school that sent me a thank you note for the time I spent on my tour. I'm sorry, but a gesture like that goes a long way. We as parents are expected to send follow up notes (hello beyondthebrochure), but to receive one- made me get butterflies. Who wants to date someone and not feel special? When I toured Willows, we lucked out and had Kim Feldman as our tour guide. She is not only the director of enrollment for the school, but she started there as a parent. I toured the school and was just in awe of their progressive approach. They recognize that every child learns differently- so they offer different approaches and strategies when it comes to teaching. This was the only school that I toured that left me wishing that I went to a school like this as a child. The school is warm and beautiful, but what makes the school stand out the most are the teachers and support staff. You can tell that everyone that works there loves their job and love what they represent. They genuinely care about you and your children. They are known throughout the community for hosting some exceptional parent education events - Besty Brown Braun, Dan Siegel, Frank Bruni, and etc were all speakers this year. They have a wonderful WPA and there's always events going on that promotes community and unity. If you are looking for a haven where your child will grow and thrive. Willows is it. My son has grown immensely not only intelligently, but emotionally as well. I credit them because they use the RULER approach which really resonated with him (so much that he wanted to make our very own "mood meter" at home). He has gained so much confidence and found his voice in such a short period of time here and I'll be forever grateful to the Willows because of it.
