Reasons I liked AHS: 1/Beautiful campus campared to my other…read moreoptions in El Sereno 2/Alot of teachers looking to make a difference and just plain passionate about their jobs 3/ALOT of activities for students (not education related). 4/Mrs. Collins found me my first "real" job with a small CPA firm. Without that job I don't think I would have been able to flurish in my career. Reasons I disliked AHS: 1/Counselors were not encouraging. Poor teachers are doing their jobs AND the counselors jobs. I understand if you want something you go out and get it....however..how the heck are you supposed to know what it is you are reaching for when you are the first to go to college in your family? I think the relatives of these couselors work at ELAC too lol because their couselors were just as insulting and uninterested in steering you in the right direction. 2/I received more unwarranted truant tickets than my backpack could handle causing financial stress on my family. This does not have to do with AHS but I thought I'd throw that in there. 3/No programs reaching out to students from lower income families to speak with them about college, how it works (yes, how it works), financial aid (so it's believable anyone can get a higher education) 4/No programs about SAT's and how they can help you. CLASS OF 1997 P.S. lol I turned out fine but had I had the dislikes narrowed down to zero BEFORE I left AHS I might have earned my degrees ALOT sooner. lol Cheers

Sister Kathleen is an angel who helped us so much during the pandemic. Covid cut our income by a third and the school provided our daughter a scholarship (she is an A student) plus financial aid so she could continue at Ramona. We are so thankful to this school and hope to repay them in the near future for all their kindness. They also work on social issues like bringing attention to human trafficking and clean water. The parents are a good mix of cultures and so are the teachers. All the girls I have spoken to are polite and are encouraged to become ambassadors for the school. Overall it's a well rounded school and no wonder they are the oldest Catholic school in Los Angeles county! They were established in 1889! A grateful parent.

Am currently a 6th grade about to be in 7th and low-key it was the best school year, my other years were great but this year HANDS DOWN. I think all the teachers there are cool but my favorite teachers are Mrs. Delamater and Mrs. Mendoza. All of those one star reviews are NOT TRUE they are just being dramatic from the past but the only thing that's true is that there is lots of playground drama and sometimes the teachers can be a little over dramatic. The food is Nice but sometimes not great, one thing I hate them from doing is removing chocolate milk from our school like Who the heck does that an they be buying low-fat stuff for use, like is you pretending like we don't need fat in our system. Over-all I think THIS SCHOOL IS THE BEST LIKE IT'S AMAZING TRUST ME but if not this school go to Marguerita elementary its a good school to. BUT NOT BETTER THAN OURS SEND UR KID TO THIS SCHOOL. ITS THE BEST

Very Concerned Parent Here…read more I usually don't leave public reviews for schools, but after MONTHS of watching what's going on at Northrup Elementary, I simply can't stay silent anymore. Let me begin by saying: I care deeply about my child's education. That's why I'm shocked -- and honestly appalled -- at the lack of structure, communication, and basic professionalism happening here. First of all, the front office? A disaster. I called to report my daughter's absence and got transferred three times -- just to be told, "We already marked her absent." Wow, thank you so much for that stellar customer service. Second: the pickup line. If you know, you know. It's pure chaos. No cones. No staff direction. Just cars cutting each other off while fifth graders dodge traffic like it's Frogger. I guess safety isn't a priority?? Third -- and this one really makes my blood boil -- my child came home last week saying they "ran out of milk" at lunch. Excuse me? How do you "run out" of milk at an elementary school? This isn't a food truck. There are literally 300 growing children who need calcium, and y'all can't stock a fridge? Don't even get me started on the playground drama. The teachers barely supervise recess, and somehow my daughter got "accidentally" pushed twice in one week. I've emailed. I've messaged on ParentSquare. Radio silence. If no one responds again, I will be showing up in person -- and I'm not bringing Starbucks this time. Look, I'm not trying to be that mom, but Northrup seriously needs to reevaluate its priorities. My tax dollars are going somewhere -- and it clearly isn't toward functioning communication, warm meals, or basic supervision. Sincerely, A very concerned (and slightly done) mom.

I have not yet officially started interning for the district, but upon doing the clearance details,…read moreI have an okay idea of this place. This area has many of the ins and outs from a school district. Accounting, Mental Health Department, etc. can be found here. Service is friendly, as you immediately enter, someone is there to greet you and try to direct you on your way (This holds true to two of the buildings I entered into). The downfall lies in access to this place. On Mission, it is kind of hidden, and from the outside looks like a small factory. What makes it distinguishable are the red buildings. What makes it worse is the small parking lot. Most of the spots is for 2 hours, and on the inside are more parking spots for employees, yet I have no idea how to get in there. I have gone here twice, and on both occasions, there are always cars waiting for a parking spot. This place is busy! As I might have to go here more often, stay tuned, I shall try to keep you guys updated.
