Kentwood felt like home the first time my husband and I toured when my son was 3. We joined for a follow up when he was 4 and enrolled happily for K commencing in 2020. School last year was *interesting* - online and a K parent... I had low expectations. Kentwood exceeded expectations. My son's teacher was excellent and I managed to meet some local families while remote. Everyone is SO nice! Moving to the 2021 school year - IN PERSON! We added a kid, now TK and 1st grade students on campus. Our teachers are wonderful (Dr Williamson us a legend! And Ms Lee is kind, genuine, caring and eager to help our children who have never been in school full time.). The campus is clean, great playgrounds and green space. We even have a literacy garden for the TK-K kids to spend free learning time outside. The highlight of Kentwood? Our amazing new principal - she's hands on, working to bring parents back on campus, safely given Covid restrictions. Ms Von Schreiber is a gift to our school community. My children adore her and I admire her greatly. She's out front every day at drop off, responds to emails, dresses up for Halloween and 100 days....we are lucky to have her. I can't recommend this wonderful, true neighborhood school enough! #koalastrong

Four years ago I was faced with a decision....where do I put my daughter for 6th grade? My…read moredaughter has ADHD accompanied with an auditory processing disorder. At that time she was attending a small public school in West Hollywood in a class of 36 children with no teachers assistants. She was completely lost in all subjects, which also led to low self esteem. She was limited to 45 minutes of resources per day, which was really the only help/ teaching she received, the rest of the days were a loss. Through a friend, we were referred to Summit View West. I scheduled an appointment to take a tour of the school (four years ago)and brought my daughter along. That day, my daughter made her decision...she said, "this is the school that I need. I don't want any other school but here! Do what you have to do to get me into this school!"....and I did. Today, my daughter will be entering her third year at Summit View West, and every day that goes by we feel blessed that we are part of this amazing school. Since my daughter started, she has only become more confident in all subjects, and she embraces learning new concepts. The teachers make sure all students are on the same page and, with an understanding of the material before they move on. The administration is always welcoming and hypersensitive to any concerns a parent or student might have. The school is a loving community that looks out of one another. I feel that if anyone leaves a negative yelp comment about Summit View West, it is only out of frustration of not having their child funded by their school's district, or the Help Group does not think the school is the right fit for the child in question. The administration is highly educated, qualified and familiar with making the right decisions that would best fit the students needs.

If you have a child with a learning difference, you know how awesome that is. The specialized reading programs and small class size is really working for him. His teacher is an Angel! She "gets" my son. She takes the time to listen and has been a huge advocate for him. His school counselor is really amazing. She is so well trained in determining the functions of my son's behaviors, offering him tools/strategies that will help him cope. I will continue to post updates as we continue on our journey.

Over the years, I have seen remarkable growth in him--academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally. The school has always maintained a strong curriculum with high expectations for student learning, while also recognizing and supporting individual student needs. Academically, my son is a high achiever, and I am incredibly proud of him. That success is not by chance; it is the result of dedicated teachers, faculty, and staff who are highly qualified, deeply caring, and genuinely invested in each child's success. They know their students well, take the time to support them, and consistently go above and beyond to help them thrive. One of the greatest blessings of Transfiguration is its low staff turnover, which creates a stable, unchanging, nurturing environment. Because of this, my son is well known by his teachers and feels safe, comfortable, and confident at school. The environment is structured and disciplined, helping students develop self-discipline, strong morals, and good character. Character education and community are clearly valued--students learn respect, responsibility, and compassion for others alongside their academic subjects. In addition, Transfiguration offers enriching programs in STEM, music, and the arts, all aimed at helping children become the very best versions of themselves. At the heart of it all is the principal, Mrs. Rickenbacker, who truly is the maestro behind the school's success. She is both personable and highly professional, and she thoughtfully oversees every aspect of the school with care and vision. In my opinion, Transfiguration Elementary is one of Los Angeles' best-kept academic secrets. It is a place where children are challenged, supported, and formed into well-rounded, confident young people. Many of whom (students) graduate and attend top high schools. I am beyond grateful that my son has been able to grow up in such a loving and purposeful school community. - Dr. T. Slayton
