My son is graduating from Bosco in a few days and this has been a great school. Beautiful looking…read morecampus and a wonderful administration who really seem to care. He and I were not sure if he would be attending St John Bosco due to the tuition cost, although I had him take the entrance exam in December of his 8th grade year just to see how he would do. He scored high on the exam and with his exam score and references from his current and past teachers at the school he was then attending, he ended up being warded a $15,000 academic scholarship to Bosco. That helped lower the tuition cost by approximately $300 per month throughout his four years. His scholarship was possible due to a previous student from several years back who had given the money to the school so that it would be used as an academic scholarship. It seems that this was not unusual because I found that many prior students would "give back" to Bosco. That in itself says how much they loved their school. Also, many of the teachers are prior St John Bosco graduates and they really do care about their students. Like many other private schools the parents do need to do so many hours of volunteer time at the school or they can chose to just "payout" their hours. It is only 15 hours a year which was no problem for me even as a single mom. There are also four parent meetings per year which are mandatory. I liked the fact that it is an all boys school which gets together frequently with the sister school, St. Josephs in Lakewood which is an all girls school, for different functions. I feel that it being an all boys school keeps the students focused more on their studies. Non of the students that I knew of seemed to miss the fact that there were no girls in the classroom. If a Catholic education is something you desire for your child, but you feel you cannot afford tuition cost, please talk to someone at the school to see if there is a way to possibly make it more affordable. I have learned throughout the years that there is much help out there, as far as Catholic education, if you just ask.

I personally never thought I would be writing a review on our experience at Riley Elementary. But I…read morefeel the need to address our reason for transferring our children to a new school site. My reason for this review is to alert parents that there has been bullying on campus and cyber bullying from a child that is possibly gang affiliated. My 5th grade boys were victims of bullying on campus and off (tic tok) Jan. 13th 2020 it was brought to my attention from my boys in which another child informed them of a video uploaded to Tic Tok(social media) per the student the video disclaimed harassment, talked about their disability and possible assault. Aside from the cyber bullying video this student has verbally abused my boys on a daily. It has happened in/out of their 5th grade classroom. He has harassed, intimidated, made remarks on their sexual orientation and has talked about their skin color. I wish I would have been aware of this ongoing abuse but my boys were to quiet, and embarrassed to say anything. I lament not taking action sooner. My first reaction to the video was "I need to see what has been said before notifying school officials" I asked my boys to get in contact with the student that gave them this information. Luckily I was able to attain the (Tic Tok acct) and take a look for myself. By the time I was able to view the Tic Tok acct it appears that the video had been taken down. But what was more shocking to see were videos gang affiliated on a child of only 10yrs old. The child is throwing up gang signs and claiming were he comes from. (((SHOCKING))) I investigated more asking questions and to my surprise my son was showing me the gang signs that happen on the school playground. Immediately I became concerned. My husband began viewing it and we took videos of what we were seeing as evidence. Call it overly protective but we immediately decided our boys cannot return to an unsafe school zone. It is not clear what this students actions or motives were but as parents we should Not Gamble the LIVES of my children our yours! I have been in contact with the principal of Riley and district officials. I was made aware of the protocol and action they have begun to implement. Sadly for us it's a bit to late because all Long Beach schools should already have an anti bullying prevention policy in place!!!!!! I discussed what guarantee or protection against harm to my boys would be implemented and she was unable to promise me any. I was granted a safe return back to Riley and the accommodation of that student being removed out of the same classroom but nothing was promised or guaranteed that the other student wouldn't use retaliation. I cannot and will not jeopardize my children. This incident has left us extremely disappointed, has caused detrimental effects, has impacted my boys learning. This was not how I or my husband envisioned my boys last year of Elementary school. I encourage all parents at Riley Elementary to investigate and advocate for the safety of all our children that attend.. we need to speak to our kids be more aware of who their peers are. I hadn't mentioned this as it happened weeks ago but my boys along with several other boys found a vape pipe in the boys bathroom. I believe it was brought to school officials on campus. I can't stress enough to all parents that we are a great community and we can maintain it if we all unite together. Inform yourselves on what happens on school grounds because as of right now the school is undergoing Anti-bullying policies with our children but it's shocking to find out from some parents that they are unaware that the children are being given this intervention or as to even why? And lastly, please speak and encourage your child/children to report any form off bullying. Schools need to provide a safe environment for them. I'm proud of myself for taking action on this matter and for being the voice for my boys that were victims. "Yesterday it was my child tomorrow it could be yours. " Let's keep our children ALIVE and SAFE! My children are my world and I will always fight for their safety and well being.

The middle school area is alright overall, I just made this review because I didn't like how unsanitary the toilets are.
