Absolutely in love with this school…read more Mr. Mariani is a GOD send. He is amazing with kids and my son has grown leaps and bounds because of him. I was skeptical sending my son to public school with our government pulling money away from public schools and pretty much forcing us parents to go private if we want a decent education... but I fell in love with this school. The principal is so hands on and loves all the kids so much. I cannot say enough how amazing this school is and I was raised by hard working teachers THANK YOU WAKEHAM!

A different time a student took my belongings, I told a staff member and I got in trouble for being robbed. The other student went without punishment. These instances have happened to me numerous times and after leaving this school I felt much better, concluding that this school was not able to help its students.

I usually do not write reviews on here, however, there are a few reviews portraying Mr. Staggs as a…read morebad Principle and one about a teacher being horrible. My Kids have been attending Clegg for the past 5 years and they absolutely love it. My stepdaughter and my little sister came to this school from another district where they were struggling. They have been able to attend tutoring provided by the school at no cost and extra assistance from their teachers. My sister went from not understanding anything from her other school to being confident enough to ask the teacher for help. Them taking their time to assist her until she understood. My stepdaughter has improved her reading and is catching onto the concepts of math because her teacher takes an extra hour twice a week after school to help the children who don't quite get it. My son has gone here from K-4 and I have adored each and every one of his teachers as well as Mrs. Sheri and the other office staff. I love my children and if I feel there is an issue I have always opened my mouth and I have been heard. I had an issue with a Sub 1 time on a Friday and emailed my son's teacher she responded to me that night within 20 mins and she reported it to Mr. Staggs and he reached out to me within 15 mins (on a Friday night) He made time for me to come in to speak with him that following Monday. Another time my sister came home and was in tears because a group of girls were making fun of her. I emailed her teacher, She got back to me within that hour and the next morning I was able to have a meeting with Mr. Staggs, the school counselor (who is a very sweet lady) and the girls involved we all had our time to speak and nobody felt intimidated by this situation. Moral to my review, Clegg is and has always been an amazing school, everyone has their flaws and nobody can please everyone. But! Mr. Staggs and the Clegg staff try their hardest to appease everyone while also attending to the better needs of our children. If your looking into schools give Clegg a shot. Its a really good school.

My granddaughter moved on from Clegg to Stacey Middle School, now my grandson is starting 3rd grade…read moreat Clegg. Mr. Staggs is no longer principal, and though he is sorely missed, Mr. Murphy has been a great replacement. My granddaughter's years from K-5 were all wonderful but my grandson's 2nd grade teacher was not at all what I think of when I think of Clegg and honestly should not be teaching young children. So, unfortunately, his 2nd grade experience did not live up to Clegg standards. Despite that, given our mostly positive history with Clegg, we are cautiously optimistic that 3rd grade will put our love for this school back on track!

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.

Unfortunately, a year later, we still have not been able to retrieve her artwork. We've been told conflicting information, including that it was already picked up, despite us never receiving it. It's incredibly disappointing to have to explain to a child that her award-winning piece -- something she worked hard on and was proud of -- is now missing with no clear accountability or record of what happened. This should have been a special keepsake and memory for her. Shame on Miss Shoshana for the lack of oversight and management surrounding student artwork and for how poorly this situation was handled. Families and students deserve better care and accountability when it comes to preserving children's hard work and achievements.
