I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this school. What is advertised as a supportive…read moreand fair environment is anything but. It becomes very clear very quickly that if you don't donate money or volunteer your time constantly your child is treated differently. Students whose parents give extra money or help out at the school seem to get special treatment and are rarely held accountable for their behavior.Meanwhile,other students are more harshly punished for the same actions or for standing up for their self against these kids that do not face punishment. There is obvious favoritism toward students who are close with staff, and their behavior is often ignored or dismissed altogether.The division between students is also very noticeable, especially between public school and private school students.Public school students are treated as if they are less important or less capable,while private school students are given more grace.Both of my children one is my daughters step sister,she is treated like a trouble maker and was told she is making the school look "bad" as if both the girls are not the same which they are.On top of that the school feels like a never-ending money grab.You have to pay for everything your kids lunch,sports,free dress day.And all this adds up quickly adding the monthly tuition i pay for especially for a school that claims to care about its students .It places far too much emphasis on money and connections rather than fairness,discipline,and equal treatment.

However, for many reading this have probably watched (let alone heard of) the hit FOX TV drama "Beverly Hills 90210" that aired from 1990-2000. This takes me to "Torrance High School"; you heard that right, the school grounds were actually filmed in Torrance and not in Beverly Hills. And for those wondering, this was also the filming location of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" amongst other various TV shows and movies due to its close proximity to Hollywood. Since I was in this area for a private family event, this was not out of the way for my lady and I. The actual location of this school is at 2200 W. Carson St. in Torrance that happens to be in a relatively quiet and less congested area. It is tucked in between Crenshaw Blvd. and Western Ave. while the major freeways (the 405 and 110) are about a 5-7 minute drive away. Since we visited the school campus in the summer (on Friday 7/26/2024) as well as after hours (at around 6:30pm), there were no classes in session. I must confess, after watching the show, the campus has not changed much over the years and am guessing that the entire structure of the buildings have remain intact ever since being constructed back in the mid-late 1940's. I also had the opportunity to peek through the windows of some of the classrooms and I can tell they've kept a lot of the same desks intact for several decades. Finally, the outside courtyard area looks exactly the same as where the kids from 90210 once stood during their recess. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised with checking out "Torrance High School". The layout of the entire campus is quite large as the school can accommodate an average of 2,000 students during a normal school year (grades 9-12). And to all of you Gen-X'ers that were obsessed with this show, you will definitely not be disappointed. Just don't visit during when school is in session. Otherwise, I highly recommend checking this place out. My rating, an above average four stars.

Despite kids getting hurt the principal declines any conferences with parents at any cost (saying he's in a meeting with staff, other parents or that its will be nearly impossible to speak to him...

If its impossible with all the staffs run arounds. the "yard lady's" look the other way when this bullying is happening according so a few kids I spoke to. Bullying is a HUGE PROBLEM HERE, and I demand something done to this inadequate principal, I will report him to the district for not doing his job correctly or who knows.. Maybe he's just not FIT FOR THE JOB. Since you know... He can't even Handel parent conferences. Not even to talk about a potential obstacle that can come back and hit him in the face for not taking proper procedures. I'm a very angry parent and will get to the bottom of this even if it cost me money to see something correctly done for once at this school.

Hello Everyone, If you are thinking of enrolling your kid in…read morePCC program to this school please read this review before you make any decision. I had some very bad experience with the teaching staff and principal Ms.Jackson. I enrolled my kids to this school on Aug 2019 by reading some of the good reviews for this school. Here I would like to share my experience. My son was 3 yrs old when we enrolled him for the PCC program. He is autistic kid with speech delay and is yet to be potty train. As school started, we gave lots of Training pants to the school staff. But the school staff requested for diaper since they said that it is difficult to change training pants since he is peeing a lot. We felt that strange since he has a normal pee pattern. But we agreed and gave them lot of diapers. But soon we started noticing that his diaper was always full. In fact most of the time his pants also use to get wet. When I ask the school staff about wet pant, they said that they change it. One morning before going to school, my kids of playing with marker and he accidently mark his diaper. Same day when I went to pick him up I see his pants were wet and diaper was full. And to my surprise, I see that he was wearing the same diaper since morning. I ask the teaching staff Ms. Martha who usually change his diaper, She said that she had change his diaper. That was a blunt lie on the face. But when I told her about the mark, then she said that she missed to change it. Ms. Jimenez the class teacher heard our conversation and jumped into it. She told me that your son do not tell us when his diaper is full, hence we don't change it. She said your son is supposed to tell us when his diaper is full. I was shocked to hear this from a special need kid teacher. She was fully aware that my son is a special need kid with speech delay and can't really tell about it. When I tried to talk to her she cut my conservation again and said we have to change diaper for other kids so we can't look at your kid, we get busy. It was a very unpleasant reply from her. Isn't hygiene important for every kid in the class? I had to do something, so I called the LASUD and raised a complaint. The LAUSD complaint department told me that Special education Supervisor (Cherryl Babit) will call me back. They never called me. So then I then dropped an email to the principal informing about the incident. The Principal then informed me that she keep a log book to check if they really change the diaper. But that really did not make much of a difference. In fact Ms. Jimenez behaviors changed a lot. Her behavior become extremely unpleasant. Both Ms. Jimenez and Ms. Martha just stopped talking to me. One day when I went to school to pick up my son,I saw assistant holding my son and other kid while taking to the school bus driver. When I was about reach near my son, she roughly left my son's hand without even looking at me if I have even reach to my son. I quickly ran toward my son, fortunately he did not ran on the road, till I reach him, but the whole scene was just scary. There is one more incident One day after school was over, teacher and her assistant went to classroom. I noticed that my son's pant was wet so I took him back to school to change diaper. We were in corridor and at the same time MS. Jimenez opened classroom's door. If my son was few steps ahead, he would hit by door very badly. Teacher looked at him for 1 second and left with her colleagues. Forget about apologize or even care to say , "are you ok ?" she fail to even acknowledge , it was like me and my son was invisible to her. My son noticed that and he kept on calling Ms. Jimenez for the next one hour. It really impacted him. I shared only couple of my experience here since I do not want to make this a lengthy review. I tried my best with the teaching staff and principal, but it was all in vain. I felt so bad about all this that I decide to leave the school district. Overall please be careful if you are thinking about this school. The teaching staff and principal really do not bother about the kids in the school.

She lacks the leadership experience and education to lead the school to its next chapter. This school also lacks instructor diversity. The school is led by all women that previously attended the school and now work there in order to get a discounted tuition and preferential treatment. Currently there are two male teachers. There is only one PE teacher and she a friend of the leadership team. Consequently they all live in a bubble. The academic curriculum has declined and is outdated. The principal refuses to implement curriculum to improve the technology and AI curriculum. There is only one computer teacher and the students meet once a week. They lack excellent foreign language, music and arts instructors. I would not recommend this school if you are looking for a quality Christian private school. Please do your research your child(s) education depends on it.
