    I regularly pray for Lanai and for all of its amazing staff and parent volunteers…read more I just attended my Kindergartner's "Winter Concert". I was delighted to hear a program packed with myriad Hanukkah songs, from "Hanukkah o Hanukkah" to "Kindled by the Flame" (which references Hanukkah and Menorahs in every verse, complete with wiggling candle fingers). And of course the classic "Happy Hanukkah". All of these songs were absolutely beautiful, especially because each song was presented INTACT, without censorship. But what was ugly was the School's systematic censorship of "Christmas". Not a single time did the word Christmas get sung, and it was not by accident. The concert was so thoroughly de-Jesused that even the great "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" was bastardized to "Have yourself a Merry *Winter Season*"! I am the father of a family of church-going followers of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and Christmas marks His birth into this world. That said, I don't expect our public school to be teaching my kids Christmas hymns. But if Lanai staff ARE going to teach my son religious songs, then they cannot discriminate against Christians by deliberately avoiding and excising any mention of Christmas like it's Kryptonite. I cannot imagine the uproar if the entire music program had been filled with expressly Christmas songs and the closest thing to mentioning Hanukkah was "Happy Other Winter Thing". If Lanai is low-key trying to be a public Hebrew school, that's not what we signed up for. As a public school Lanai must be accountable to all its students, and to Federal Laws prohibiting religious discrimination.

    Now I go to this school, currently as of date I am in forth grade. I am in Mrs.Muffoletto's Class…read moreand I have a lot to say. For example every single classroom has art. There are many enrichments that Lanai pays for Out-Of-Pocket. Sone of these include Computer Lab, with macs PE With an amazing coach and Science with an amazing teacher. Overall these bad reviews are all lies, and if they are true all of the bad teachers are gone. Another reason why this school is amazing is because of the principal. Instead of the sone principals in other schools just sitting down and waiting in a office this, instead he takes care of the school by talking to students sone times watching over the students and he also helps direct the school amazingly while doing all of that. Overall this school is amazing and I would recommend enrolling right now! -Hugo 4th Grade 2023

    Unfortunately, my experience with the principal has been very disappointing. When concerns are…read morebrought to her, she often reacts emotionally instead of professionally. She has deleted public ClassDojo comments instead of addressing them, ignored private messages, and even been visibly petty in person. She often tries to intimidate or gaslight parents rather than acknowledge mistakes, which is unacceptable for a school leader. Another serious issue involves Ms. Weiss. On multiple field trips where I volunteered (fully cleared through LAUSD), I witnessed random adults joining--individuals who were not approved volunteers. Many were family members of admin staff, and the excuse was simply, "We had extra tickets." Meanwhile, approved parents are denied similar allowances. This favoritism and lack of accountability raise real safety concerns. My children have noticed it too, and that should never happen. Parents deserve to feel confident that safety protocols are followed consistently--not based on convenience or personal connections.

    I am deeply disappointed with Emelita. My child had a good first year at the school because of a…read morefantastic teacher who is unfortunately no longer there. Now, my child has a teacher who lacks a clear credential, has no real teaching experience, and practically never responds to messages. This teacher is constantly putting down their students and picks on several students in particular even though they are all very young. The homework the teacher gives often makes no sense (one assignment involved drawing a picture of the main character of a story, even though the "story" had no characters!) and is basically unrelated to anything they learn in class (if they are learning anything). The teacher constantly puts on videos with very little (if any) educational value for the children as if kids nowadays don't get enough screen time outside of school! My child has told me that they learned more in one day last year than they have in the entire first semester with this new teacher. My partner and I went to talk with the principal, Ms. Cuellar, about our issues. Ms. Cuellar got very defensive and denied that the teacher would ever get angry with their students or that the teacher has basically no teaching experience (even though they were just an aide in the school the year before this one!). The principal then told us that, even though they have low enrollment, she would be happy to give us a list of other schools in the area where we can send our child! When we asked to transfer our child into another class, the principal informed us that they did have a space in the class, but that she didn't know if it was possible to make the transfer. After waiting a week, I contacted the principal (since she had not gotten back to me) and was told that it was "not possible" to transfer our child. Needless to say, my partner, my child and I are very upset about all of this.

Now I'm back with my first grader and she loves her school. She regularly comes home ready to talk about something she learned. We are grateful for the individual care and attention she gets. Yes, there have been challenges at times due to unforeseen issues but the dedication of the staff has always kept the school strong despite those challenges. The principal now is amazing and a part of the founding admin when the school started back in the early 2010s. She and the staff that make sure to welcome the children with smiles and high fives in the morning make it a place for kids to want to be. It warms my heart as a school social worker to see that. It's what I wish all children had at all schools.

    If your child has an IEP, the VP (Murphy) will make you want to leave the school and if you don't,…read moreshe will make life very difficult. If it was up to her, she would give no accommodations, doesn't really seem fit to be a VP if she knows nothing about neurotypical children and wants them to be like soldiers, jump on command. The administrative staff is not supportive of students, just there to document the side of the story they like, in order to get kids kicked out based on low scores. If your child has low scores they will find a way to harass you into wanting to leave, instead of helping the child learn. Or they will document every minor thing, such as a child not standing still in line, as disruptive and put it in the cumulative record so they have a long rap sheet for meaningless things. Petry is as fake as her voice, the words are reassuring, but she doesn't help when Murphy and Santa Cruz team up to harass parents/children. If your child is perfect, very well behaved and earns perfect scores on tests, they love you. Otherwise, prepare yourself for hell. Teachers in kinder and first were not so good. Second grade was ok, third was horrible.

There is so much thoughtfulness and care put into every decision made. The teachers and staff absolutely know my child inside and out. I used to get these calls from my kid at school - she was upset, stressed, having a hard day. Now - I never ever get a call like that. (If you know, you know) I had no idea how hard my daughter's days were at regular school. She was always grumpy and anxious. After the first day at Westmark she was lighthearted, happy! I forgot she could be that way! Her confidence in her academic abilities is growing all the time there. I wish I would have moved her there sooner. It is truly a remarkable place. Every teacher (even like science and PE!) are trained in teaching kids with learning differences. My daughter gets support ALL DAY long, not just during the few minutes she was pulled out before. If your child has a learning difference, I really recommend you go see the school - it is hard to describe how amazing and transformative it is.

If it's not the right school environment for a child, or family, they will be honest. They have changed my daughter's life and given her the skills to transition into her choice of universities. The staff and administration have a child-first approach, while teaching students to be their own advocates. An added perk for high schoolers, Westmark's talented college advisor! She goes above and beyond in her dedication to the juniors and seniors.

My child would come home crying and say the teacher had been mean. By the way she talks to students and parents, you can definitely see and sense a mean streak. Unlike all the other teachers, she did not allow parents to volunteer in her classroom in the year that my child was in her class. Probably because she did not want parents to see how she treats the children behind closed classroom doors. The principal, Mr T. can be rude and dismissive as others have mentioned in their reviews. He could care less what parents think and say. Overall though, the parents' contributions to the school raise the quality of the school. Parents care and they get involved whether it's to volunteer with their time or contribute money for fundraising efforts. Academically, none of my children were challenged in this school. They don't have a way to further your child's growth if your child is performing well above grade level.

The school administration definitely favors kids who belong to the majority if you know what I mean. and the principal who runs this place is extremely mean and unfriendly. He always stands at the entrance gate when school starts and hardly acknowledges any parents or adults dropping off their children. Not the best look for someone who's supposed to be the leader of the school.

As an alum of Curtis and now a parent, I can see the incredible impact Meera has had on the Curtis community. Not only is she personally invested in the school, as a parent, but also as a head of school. She is warm and is one of the most involved heads of school I have ever seen. She makes a point to get to know every student on campus and has an open door policy for ALL families on campus. She has turned Curtis into one of the top schools that feeds into every elite LA high school. Curtis students are well rounded, well behaved, adaptable, and more than prepared for middle/ high school. I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to send my kids to Curtis and I hope Meera continues to lead the school for many years to come. Curtis is such a special space and you are lucky if you are able to experience it firsthand!
