With all there IEPs and their lies caused my Grand Daughter to lose 2 years of education. Between this program and that one. And there being more worried about money than doing what was right. With my Younger Grand Children I found their school site difficult to handle. Because of Family issues I was to all incenses purposes the decision maker concerning my Grand Children but the Principal would not make an effort to work with me because I didn't have a court order giving me Educational rights. That would have meant getting custody and at my age that was something I didn't want to do. Even when my Son-in-law the father of these children wrote a letter giving the school permission to talk to me they wouldn't. A very difficult district to work with think twice before registering your children

School Year 2010-2011…read more We moved in April and I have been trying to take care of this with your office since May. Your office was very harsh with me telling me my proof of residency I was able to print out online was not good enough- not letting me finish my sentences and discuss it and try to understand- but just saying "no" over and over again. I left that office crying. That is not a feeling I expect when dealing with a school office. Over the summer, I checked your website daily hoping for some information about when you would open and what I needed to do. To this day the website still says "Interdistrict Permit for Torrance residents- Information sheet- Coming soon!". I emailed you on Friday, August 13th to find out what date your office opened and you responded on Tuesday, August 17th and told me that you were open from M-F from 8:30-4:30 being closed for lunch from 2-3. I waited for my last piece of appropriate proof to come in the mail, and I showed up with my children on the morning of Friday, August 20th. There was a note on the door saying you were closed. On Monday August 23rd I brought all of my paperwork to you, which you still tried to tell me was not acceptable even though your office told me exactly what to bring, and you told me you needed to process my application and I could not leave with my release letter. I tried to discuss with you what my options were and you finally looked at me and offered to pull mine out and get it done ASAP. You told me I could pick up a copy so I could hand it over to RBUSD. I followed up with you the next day and you responded as if you did not know me with a blanket answer that the permits would be mailed out and I could not pick them up and you could not fax them. I have not received anything in the mail as of yet and I have missed registration for both kids on Wednesday August 25th. Today is Monday August 30th, and the kids start school tomorrow. They will be late to class because we missed registration and have to register at 9AM tomorrow. I cannot register them without the permits in my hand, and the problem is I only received a permit for ONE child from you in the mail on Friday and the RB school office received NOTHING. Later on August 30th: I showed up today to pick up a permit for my other son and you were so rude and didn't smile and didn't apologize for me not receiving it. You snapped your gum and mumbled something to your co-worker about the apartment number missing. You handed me the copy and I said Thank You and you said "uh huh". I have sent another email since asking- just so I could be properly prepared- the procedure for renewals. I got NO RESPONSE. I do not appreciate being treated like this and I personally think you should be doing a much better job. I do not agree with you working for the benefit of my children and think you should think about the way you treat people as well as represent the Torrance Unified School District.

Rewriting my review, I don't like the vulgar teacher in the C area…read more The vulgar and loud language used by staff at elementary pick-up. A staff member gripped my child's arm and refused to let go. I'll do my best to rewrite the text more clearly: The behavior I witnessed was utterly unacceptable. I strongly suggest that you go to another place to have your children. The staff at this location was unprofessional rude, and seemed to be taking out their bad days on everyone. Staff retraining is needed. Additionally, it's concerning to see that there are individuals on staff who display racist behavior. Everyone must be treated with the same level of respect, regardless of their skin color or ethnicity.

This school has 2 huge grass area where the kids can play and hang out underneath the trees. They also have a garden!! I am impressed how the front office knows every single student by name.

The students and their families are very supportive and contribute a lot to make this school the best it is. There are 28-30 students per teacher per grade and only one teacher per grade.

I used to love this school, but unfortunately the recent administration has been disappointing. In…read moremy experience, the principal seems to rely too heavily on strict policies without enough consideration for individual circumstances. I have witnessed a lot of unfairness in the way situations are handled, particularly involving students with special needs. From what I have observed, there seems to be very little patience, flexibility, or understanding for their individual needs, which has been deeply disappointing. A year ago, before the new administration, I would have wholeheartedly recommended this school. Today, I would encourage families to explore other options. I have also found it difficult to address concerns with the parish leadership. In my experience, the priest is rarely available, and when concerns are raised, he has supported the principal by saying, "I used to be a teacher, so I agree with her," rather than addressing the specific issues being brought forward. That response left me feeling that my concerns were not genuinely heard or considered.

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.
