I was an LAUSD office technician who worked at Rosewood STEM in the 2021 school year…read more The teachers, nursing, custodial and cafeteria staff were the nicest people. In my short time there, I met some largely decent parents and enjoyed being able to serve. Principal Linda Kaye-Crowder, however, is a duplicitous bureaucrat. Don't take anything she says at face value because she has two of them. She presents herself as a compassionate individual, but she is working for the system, not for your kid. She mocked one child's gender expression when she thought no one was listening. (But I was.) She would gossip about parents behind their backs. Part of this is owing to her age, the other is that she has zero leadership ability whatsoever. It's a STEM school where the principal doesn't do email, apparently. She only sometimes wore her surgical mask in 2021, so she didn't even conform to the rules set forth by the county of Los Angeles or LAUSD. There is no school security (which is more of an LAUSD issue). A rear fence was only sometimes secured. There was also asbestos in the walls as late as 2022.

If you are looking for high quality education in a welcoming environment the Center is just what…read moreyou're looking for. While the school has a reputation for a "celebrity school." The school also has a wide variety of kids from various socio economic classes. And the teachers and staff treat everyone equally. My daughter came to the Center in 5th grade. During covid she just wasn't getting the type of education she needed at her public school so we decided to take a chance and apply to the highly coveted school. We got incredibly lucky that she got one out of two spots that were available. She and us were welcomed by the school and felt included in the community immediately. My only regret is I wish we had started her at the Center. If you are lucky enough to get in don't turn around this high quality education in an amazing environment.

My experience with Laurel Elementary School has raised serious concerns about the safety,…read moresupervision, and support for students, particularly those with special needs like my daughter. From the beginning of the school year, her IEP, which is crucial for addressing her Autism and speech delay, was largely ignored. This neglect not only caused my daughter to struggle in class but led to repeated incidents of harm and bullying that went unresolved. Despite informing staff of her challenges, calling for IEP meetings, and repeatedly requesting interventions, little was done. My daughter was subjected to ongoing physical harm (e.g., being bitten, hit, and cut with scissors), emotional distress from bullying (genitals were exposed, hair pulling, and had personal belongings taken and broken by peers), and behaviors typical of her diagnosis that were misunderstood or penalized. Reports to staff were met with delayed or dismissive responses, and resolutions rarely occurred. Even when physical evidence, such as photos of bruises and cuts, was provided, the incidents were minimized or dismissed as "normal kindergarten behavior." And worse was that her own teacher blamed her for causing "tension" because she didn't listen or act normal knowing she had an autism diagnosis. The school claims to offer a safe and nurturing environment, but what I observed was a lack of supervision and accountability. My daughter repeatedly came home with injuries or reports of mistreatment. For example, she described incidents where other students pulled her pants down or took her belongings, yet follow-up from staff was inadequate, with no consequences or lasting solutions. I also witnessed such events happening while staff stood by aloof and did nothing until I called them out. By October, my daughter exhibited distressing new behaviors, indicating the emotional toll the environment had taken on her. Efforts to resolve these issues with the administration were frustrating. Meetings were delayed for reasons such as Halloween events, or "slime day" and despite promises to address concerns, meaningful change did not occur. The administration's approach often felt more focused on excuses and deflection rather than ensuring student safety or implementing the IEP properly. The disconnect between the school's stated policies on safety, respect, and inclusivity and its actual practices is alarming. A consistent lack of supervision, delayed communication, and failure to implement necessary supports made it impossible to trust that my daughter would be safe at Laurel Elementary. I urge the district to take immediate steps to ensure staff accountability, proper supervision, and consistent IEP implementation. Families should not have to repeatedly fight for the basic safety and well-being of their children. My experience at Laurel Elementary is one I would not wish on any parent or child. I also complained to the district and pulled my daughter out, and they also seemed to disregard my concerns and didn't take my complaint seriously. The district is also complicit in their inaction and don't care for their students or families.
