This has been my daughters first year in middle school, thanks to the encouragement and guidance by her teachers, we have seen great improvements. She is excited to have been selected to participate on Jaime Escalante Math Program this summer. In partnership with ELAC, Carnegie will provide an integrated sequence of intermediate and advance math course, to prepare her for next year and her future. I can't convey how happy we are to see her exited to voluntarily go to school during summer! Also looking forward to next year when Carnegie will proudly add "Magnet" to its name. By the way, kudos to the use of text and social media. Great way to keep us informed and see what's going. Anyone considering a middle school for their kids around Carson, in my bias opinion should consider Carnegie.

Hrmmm... This school was was OK. The only thing I honestly…read morereally miss about this school is some of my old teachers and my counselor. I was in the magnet so whenever I needed assistance, I was helped out really quickly. Now that I'm in college I feel the way the regular kids felt since they had to go through waiting and long lines to get something done. Anyway, most of the food is disgusting and unedible. I loved being in the magnet but the school overall was turning somewhat ghetto.

Sending our children to this school is the best decision & sacrifice that my wife and I have made…read more We have four kids and all of them have started there since TK and our eldest is now 21 years old with the youngest now in 1st. The school is administered by the Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles. We wanted a school that is strong in our Catholic faith and the academics are high, which this school meets and exceeds. The children are taught 1 or 2 grades above their current grade especially the 6th~8th grades. They learn things they will learn again when they enter into high school. Many graduating students get accepted to Catholic HS and other college accredited high schools in the area. They have invested in improving the technology of the school with use of iPads, Macs in the computer labs and large digital touch screens in each class room. Renovations have been made to the campus with a fully renovated restrooms and filtered water bottle dispensers. The security of the school has recently been upgraded with gating off the main entrance to the school, as well as the other side entrances to the back playground/parking lot. St. Philomena School is a small school & the friendships my kids developed are great because they grow up with each other with love and respect for each other. The parents become really close and it is like an extended family. Even new families that come in during the year, they are welcomed into this school family with open arms. I see and you will see on other reviews that are negative. I can comment to clarify things. In regards to bullying, the reviewers said that the school takes a blind eye, which is incorrect. Many of the bullying is by social media, which the school cannot control. They contact the platforms, but the platforms do not do anything and do not help the school to try to stop it. Bullying on campus, the school does try to remedy this with intervention with the students and parents, and if really bad, they get the LA county Sheriffs involved. I know of one child that was expelled for cyber-bullying and this kid was only in middle school at the time. In regards to reviewers complaining about the costs. Yes, there is a high tuition, but compared to other parochial schools in the area this school is much less expensive than those other schools. The school is not focused on taking your money. They have not dramatically increased the cost of sending your kid(s) there for the past 10 years. People complain about the tuition, well the school is not forcing them to attend the school, they can send their kids to public school. All in all this school is the best decision we've made and if you're looking to send your child(ren) to a parochial school, inquire with the school. They will be upfront with any questions you have.

Review #980 2026-046…read more Let me preface that this review is for an event that was held at J.H. Hull Middle School... J.H. Hull Middle School is 1 of 8 middle schools serving students in grades 6 - 8 in Torrance Unified School District. It's named after the 1st TUSD superintendent, Dr. John Henrich Hull, who served as superintendent from 1947 - 1970... at which time TUSD grew from 4 to 41 schools. Opened in 1970, JHHMS was originally built using steel portables from defunct Madison School, which closed in 1969; the school was later rebuilt & reopened in Fall of 2011, & is currently the district's most technologically wired & environmentally efficient campus. For 2025 - 2026, the school is helmed by Principal Jackie Ryan & supported by Assistant Principal Kimberly Lee. The 2026 TUSD "Math Field Day" was held at J.H. Hull Middle School, hosting the past 3 years. It's an annual competition that focuses on computational skills, conceptual understanding, & complex problem-solving while encouraging teamwork amongst elementary (starting from 4th grade), middle, & high schools students. Winners received medals & trophies for their school, & top winners from each quadrant advance to the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) Math Field Day, usually held in April. My son competed for 1 of 4 spots representing Hickory Elementary's 4th Grade Team. It's a 2-part competition that consisted of an individual 10 question quiz (20-mins.), followed by a break, then a series of questions for the team (30-mins.), ending with an hour break while the scores are tabulated. The students loved the "trail mix" snacks that they got during breaks... my son says it was candy galore with trail mix, gummy bears, popcorn, M&Ms, chocolate chips, goldfish crackers, etc.!! And totally worth the after school hours to enjoy these treats (can you feel the eyes rolling?) & wants to come back next year. O_o 2026 Math Field Day Winners 4th Grade: 1st: Victor ES 2nd: Hickory ES (so proud of my l'il guy & his teammates!) 3rd: Riviera ES 5th Grade: 1st: Hickory ES (back-to-back win!) 2nd: Walteria ES 3rd: Towers ES 6th Grade: 1st: Richardson MS 2nd: Madrona MS 3rd: Calle Mayor MS 7th Grade: 1st: Magruder MS 2nd: Bert Lynn MS 3rd: Madrona MS 8th Grade: 1st: Magruder MS 2nd: Madrona MS 3rd: Calle Mayor MS High School: 1st: West HS 2nd: North HS 4th: Victor ES, 5th: Hickory ES, 6th: Richardson MS, 7th: Magruder MS, 8th: Magruder MS, & West HS will move onto LACOE Math Field Day. Good luck! Congrats to all the mathletes that qualified & to the winners for their excellent performance... way to go!!

We had heard…read moreabout Ambassador through our community and even knew a family whom attended years ago and they loved it. From the moment we stepped onto the Ambassador campus it felt like home with a caring family like atmosphere. The entire staff are all engaging and helpful.

Firstly, a Christ centered approach to education with patience and mentorship. Many opportunities to be a servent of God in the community to help others. Second, outstanding academic classes with teachers who really care and support the students. AP and College prep is included in the affordable tuition fee with a wide variety of subject matter to choose from. Wonderful Guidance Counselors who truly walks the students entirely through the College application process from freshman year to senior year. Third, competitive sports in CIF leagues are offered with compassionate coaching that really guides the student to excel in their sport. Ambassador has been a dream come true for our student and our family. With smaller class sizes and more personalized attention by the teachers and staff, each student truly finds their way and earns the confidence to excel in their studies. The students also all seem so happy and they all are so welcoming and kind. Ambassador is truly a great Christ centered culture and wonderful family atmosphere that welcomes family involvment. Ambassador has been the answer to our prayers for our student. We cannot reccommend them enough.
