There was trash everywhere, and one of my friend's had to pick it up. The classes were pretty big, but then again I was shorter. I vividly remember 4 memories. The first is my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Dunagan(I kind of forget how to spell). She was chill, didn't assign homework, yet still tried her best to teach us. The 2nd memory also related to my 5th grade teacher, however, when she was away. The memory is about an awful sub, who I don't even know if she's still alive, but she was rude. She locked my brother outside for talking while doing his work, made us run outside in the grass despite allergies and being severely dehydrated, and otherwise just didn't even try to teach. My friends and I were really into Genshin Impact so we called her the "Crimson Witch of Flames" after one of the bosses, and I still think it's fitting. And, this vivid memory is watching some kid fall into a coma. I don't really remember her name, but she was playing on the monkey bars and accidentally fell, hit her head on something, and next thing I knew an ambulance was out front and they were rolling her away in a wheel chair. Blood was running down her forehead, she was limp and not responding, and needless to say, that changed me as a person. I also never saw her again! I do remember my friend daring me to kick his brother. I was really violent back then so I obliged, and then he fell to the ground crying and sobbing. I almost got the cops called on me, and I wasn't allowed to go and play outside during recess or lunch. It's a reasonable punishment, though not the calling the cops part since I was like 11 or 12. However, what I find unreasonable is that they (they being the workers in the main office) expected me to sit in a corner without getting up, not in sight of the clock, and yet also get up to look at the clock to see when to go back to class since they didn't tell me. And when I did try to do what they expected, they yelled at me to go sit back down. I missed 2 hours worth of class multiple days because of this. Also my brother looked up something on the Chromebook because he saw it in a TV show because he was curious and he got called a predator and almost had the cops called on him. Anyway, I think all elementary schools are dirty and stinky but this one is especially rough. A lot of the punishments were too much, in my opinion. Anyhow, if I had kids, I would try to convince my wife to homeschool them instead of having them go here.

I do not recommend Margaret Landell Elementary, especially if you have a high-achieving child. In…read moremy experience, instead of consistently challenging students who are ahead, the school seemed more comfortable using them to help other students. A child who is advanced deserves to be taught, stretched, and supported at their own level, not turned into an extra classroom helper. I was also disappointed by the communication. Too often, concerns were brought up in a way that felt one-sided, and it became hard to trust that situations were being handled fairly and objectively. As a parent, once trust in the communication starts breaking down, the whole school experience feels different. I have also noticed the school community feels very different than it did before. Public enrollment dropped from 700 students in 2023-24 to 662 students in 2024-25, and you can feel that change in the school's energy and parent involvement. The school fair felt much emptier than in previous years, and the overall atmosphere no longer feels like the same strong community it once did. The school may work for some families, but it was not the right environment for my child. I want my child in a place where she is both supported and challenged, where concerns are handled fairly, and where strong students are allowed to grow instead of being held back. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here.

My son has had the best teachers so far (Mc--- and B---k.) He will be starting 2nd grade here after this summer's break. The only negatives I must say is there are some rude parents here, and this is such a highly rated public school that some parents manage to bring their kids in from far away. Whereas my wife and I planned accordingly and moved from Huntington Beach back in 2010, to right across the street from Landell. And we have to pay 11K property tax annually to have our son be in this environment - but I'm sure this is synonymous with how competitive parents are these days.

Parent Warning: Weaver Elementary…read more Los Alamitos USD is one of the best districts in California, and we love being part of this community. Most schools -- Hopkinson, Rossmoor, Lee -- truly live up to that reputation. But parents need to know: Weaver Elementary, under Principal Dr. Schmidt and teacher Colette Sullivan, is not safe for children. Here's what happened to our kindergartener. For three weeks straight, he was removed from Ms. Sullivan's class and left alone in the principal's office for hours every day -- without our knowledge. He was not disruptive. His only "offense" was not finishing assignments. Instead of being supported, he was dropped in a chair with no desk, no guidance, and no instruction, while his classmates learned. We only discovered this because our child became so fearful that he broke down and begged us not to take him to school. The secretary confirmed the routine, and Dr. Schmidt himself admitted it happened multiple times and defended it as acceptable. The school kept no records and never notified us. Think about that: a six-year-old child, abandoned daily, completely unsupervised. Imagine the damage to his trust in school, his sense of safety, his joy of learning. For weeks he sat silently, terrified, while we thought he was in class. When the district was alerted, the superintendent investigated and disciplined both Dr. Schmidt and Ms. Sullivan. That discipline alone proves how unacceptable their conduct was. Yet, shockingly, both remain employed at Weaver, still responsible for children. This was not discipline. This was not education. This was neglect. And it happened under the direct leadership of Dr. Schmidt and Ms. Sullivan. After transferring to Hopkinson Elementary, our son's experience was completely different. Principal Garcia and his new teacher welcomed him, supported him, and restored his love of learning. He is thriving again -- proof that Los Al schools can be extraordinary. But Weaver is not. The leadership failed. The teacher failed. But I'm glad the superintendent's discipline did bring accountability but it won't bring back the damage that it did to our child. Parents deserve to know the truth: Weaver Elementary, under Dr. Schmidt and Ms. Sullivan, is not a school you should ever risk sending your child to. Until there is a complete change in leadership, avoid this school at all costs. Do not make the mistake we did. Do not send your child to Weaver Elementary.

During the special ed orientation I asked about the educational background of the school psychologists. Her response... "Why are you asking that?" She then went on a hostile rant defending her staff, but I just want to know about the people counseling my kid. Grace Delk is mentally and emotionally broken and gas no place in a setting that counsels children. BTW, Grace is not used to dealing with substantive questions from parents, as the only other parent questions were: 1. Who are you? 2. Will my special ed kid get to socialize with the 'normal' kids? Pathetic, which is why Grace Delk is herself, pathetic. A mental health professional? Absurd. If she really felt offended or that my question was hostile, she would have tried to diffuse the situation. Instead she answered emotionally. This is the darkness in the heart of man, which Joseph Conrad wrote about most eloquently.
