The teachers (Mrs Irene, Ms Megan, Mrs Jennifer...), are exceptional--caring, patient, dedicated, and deeply committed to each child's growth and development. They foster a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and eager to learn each day. Our children have thrived here thanks to the incredible staff and the strong sense of community the school provides. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact this preschool has had on our family and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a caring and high-quality early education experience.

Even though she was in class with specific teachers, all of the teachers interacted with the kids during recess, lunch, and nap times. Miss Patty, Miss Mary, Miss Caryn, Miss Megan, Miss Irene, Miss Jennifer, and Miss Claudia were all so caring and loving to my little girl. They made going to school a happy experience for her. Even the office staff knew who all the kids were. Miss Giaconda knew every single child's name and was always happy to support and encourage them.

My child…read moreregularly comes home describing a culture in which students and parents openly threaten to petition for teachers to be fired. When teachers assign a well-earned B, the response is often outrage, including harassing phone calls to the district and higher offices. The entire administrative team has turned over and been replaced, and when administrators attempt to enforce rules or maintain standards, they too become targets. The honor roll has lost all meaning: approximately 98% of students are labeled "honor students" and hold perfect GPAs. The level of grade inflation is staggering. It is deeply disappointing that despite the high cost of living in this area, the school community has become entitled, toxic, and hostile to academic integrity.

Chaminade College Prep is one of the best Catholic Middle Schools & High Schools in Los Angeles…read moreCounty. There are personal statements, short essays, 2 letters-if-rec (1 from current teacher & 1 from school principal), STAR test, transcripts, & interviews that are part of the entrance requirements process. In 2025, the middle school instituted an HONORS math placement testing option. The middle school does have honors algebra and geometry until the 8th grade. Mrs Mary Guerra is the head admissions person and she's absolutely amazing and wonderful. Mrs Lotta is also extremely helpful and resourceful. The head of the math department is Mrs Cheek. She's very strict, tough, & extremely helpful to students. Mrs. Sipping who teaches history and religion is both relatable & kind. It can be said that Chaminade isn't without bad teachers, as most schools will have plenty of those. Sports at Chaminade is a big thing because this is how the school and the students attract college & university scholarships. SJE school is one of the biggest feeder school to Chaminade. Just this year we sent 12 fifth graders & 4 eighth graders to Chaminade. So of course the students will know each other and hang out with each other. Chaminade middle school has an 8 House System, like Harry Potter, & this is where kids have a chance to make friends at all levels of the school. I can see and understand that if you start at the Chaminade high school level that it can be tough to adjust. However, if your kids start at the middle school, they will have adjusted and created a pattern of learning and achieving which will propel them in high school. I do recommend Chaminade without any reservations. There's so much to do here, starting at their middle school, that you can't even believe!!

We love St. Euphrasia!…read more It's a wonderful community with involved (and friendly!) parents, caring teachers and a new principal who is doing an amazing job. I have two girls here and they love their friends and teachers. And they look forward to coming to school and miss it when there's a break- alway a good sign! The PTC organizes many fun events throughout the year for the families such as the Back to School Dance, the holiday movie night and raffle, quiz night, and the spring gala for the parents only. It's a great variety with good attendance and the kids always seem to have lots of fun. If you're looking for a great school in the community then I highly recommend touring St Euphrasia!

They did much better over zoom them in class, and I see all patents yell me the dame thing, especially with this school which used to be great at one point take your child and run.

This could be pages along of how horrible the school is, especially the principal don't even get me started if your kid needs an IEP Ms Michelle and Ms Ochoa hands-down are the nicest staff and the most helpful without them. I don't know what I would have done for my son. The pettiness that goes on with the PTA and the staff is insane. If you even have a disagreement with that principal, you will be blocked from any type of school event going on campus and any type of field trips. I could go on and on like I said pages of complaints. I question myself why I stayed so long
