If you have an outstanding student and want a free private school education, send them to Poly.. The PACE & CIC programs are outstanding. The teachers, the Administrators and Councelors in these programs really care, go the extra mile and are quality people. These programs are a feeder to the best schools in our country, including the Ivy League. If your child is a talented committed athlete send them to Poly. It is not easy to make the teams at Poly- including the girls teams. But this is an inner city school with a lot of talent. Poly is the number one feeder school to the NFL AND ESPN's High School of the Century. Music program - fantastic. There is a lot of pride among the students and parents. And it is amazing how successful this school is despite what's available to them. Gyms- old and need to be upgraded. Pool - terrible! Needs a remodel. The common area - needs work. I really wish Snoop Dog, Cameron Diaz or a wealthy alumnus would donate a lot of money to start a fundraising effort to upgrade the school. The basketball coaching staff is respected and loved by players and families. And they give so much time, so much effort VOLUNTARILY. These coaches care, are talented themselves and want to make a difference. My son transferred to a private school after attending Poly two years and realized he made a mistake and transferred back for his senior year. Go jack rabbits!

    We are not year-round family at Westerly, but we consistently return for their summer camp…read more Our eleven-year-old son had attended all the local summer camps in Long Beach--JCC, 49'er camp, the city's parks and recs--over the past few years, and he ranks Westerly the highest among all camp experiences. The staff is accommodating, the hours are flexible (7:30 am to 5:30 pm), and he has a great time.

    What can I say. Our family loves Westerly! Our eldest started at one of Long Beach's blue ribbon…read moreschools, but with the huge classes we decided to take a look at Westerly and we couldn't go back. Since then all our kids have thrived in their Westerly experience. It starts with a sizable campus with a beautiful grass field for sports and activities, newly constructed learning studios and the amazing arts village. What a great place to learn. Then the passionate teachers and staff deliver a whole child program, with a better than 10:1 student/teacher ratio. The Westerly program includes: Curriculum and instruction - Enthusiastic teachers with a well thought out curriculum and small class sizes enabling teachers to adapt the curriculum to the needs of your child. Technology/STEM - Westerly recently hired a full-time Director of Instructional Technology to enhance an already strong technology/STEM program throughout the curriculum. Think coding in class, 3D printing, science and engineering fairs, etc. Visual and performing arts - Incorporated in the curriculum is an annual school-wide play lead by the folks at TKTC. The visual arts program is second to none with the kids being exposed to public arts projects, ceramics in the new ceramics studio, mixed media, painting, photography, etc. I wish I could take the classes myself. Wildcat, the after school program is a blessing. Our kids beg to go to Wildcat to play with their friends, work on yearbook, take film, dance, music, robotics and other after school enrichment activities. Athletics - A legitimate, well-run PE program with enthusiastic instruction and basketball, volleyball, football teams throughout elementary and middle school. Music - Every child takes both general and instrumental music as part of their Westerly experience. Spanish - Kindergarten through 8th grade all the kids get introduced to the Spanish language through a dedicated Spanish instructor. Leadership - This is quite possibly one of the most amazing parts of the curriculum. Continuing on the theme of whole child education the Director of Student Affairs leads an amazing program that goes so beyond student council, creating leadership opportunities for so many children. Programs like student council, district representatives, green team, etc., start in Kindergarten and the kids grow in responsibility as the children grow themselves. Each child also gains leadership responsibilities as a student mentor, where each older student is paired with a younger student as a mentor. Service learning and field studies - As the kids grow in maturity so do the service learning and field studies. Our children have enjoyed trips to Catalina and other local camps, but the highlight of the program is a one week trip in 8th grade where the whole class travels to Nicaragua to conduct a service learning project, practice their spanish, and are exposed to a different culture and way of life that they are used to. Community - Westerly is a place where without question every family places a priority on securing a great, well-rounded education for their children. Being in an environment like this is so fantastic. Independent school is not cheap, but in our minds it's the best gift we can give to our children. Westerly also offers significant financial aid support, so if that is an issue be sure to discuss your situation with the school to see if they can make something work for your family. P.S. This may sound like a paid ad, but it's our true feelings about this place. It's really special.

They falsify your child's grades to make it appear your child is learning. A lot of students were tested from this school that have left and are behind several grade levels. This school is solely after your money and when your child is suppose to be in school getting an education, I found out that they took our children out of school to pass out flyers for a fundraiser without the parents knowledge. My child attended the school and now has to take district test in order to keep the credits from this school. This school didn't offer to help my child with this situation and made it the parents fault.

For the first time in his life, he is motivated to work, feels more confident about his abilities, and is learning! I think it's a combination of hands-on learning, small student/teacher ratio, and above all, the superpowers of founder Valanitta Jingles. Some people just have the motivating"it" factor, and she has it in spades! She told us when we started that soon our son would be asking to go more often (after-school homework help, Saturday tutoring), and she was right! He feels capable there and his confidence is rising. We are thrilled with Success Work!

And they said we can't call and disturb the class, but we can take our kid out of her class and she can disturb the class and ask. If you ask me is stupid that the took her out of her class when the could have just called. They are way too lazy and rude to be working

    I am currently in 8th grade, but I recently transferred and I'm no longer a student at Marshall…read more Firstly, the environment is mostly okay. Though, the bathrooms are rarely ever cleaned and have spider webs everywhere. A lot of the toilets and sinks don't work. The thing that bothers me the most about the bathrooms, is that they are always locked. I get that they want to prevent students from skipping, but they already have school monitors who go in each bathroom stall during class time. There is a bathroom in every building yet students can't even use them. There is also never soap. Now, the cafeteria. It is so small and cramped, especially for the 7th and 8th graders who have lunch at the same school. I never brought lunches, so I always went to the cafe to get food. The lines were always so long. By the time I got my food, my friends would be outside and I would run out of time. At one point, I just stopped eating in general. When I didn't eat, it would be impossible to find a seat both outside and inside. Why even build such a small school for so many students. Another thing that ruined the experiment, was the teachers. Yes, I did create some genuine bonds with my teachers, one of them being Mr. Murillo. I am glad that I had him as my 7th grade history teacher. Sadly, most of my teachers weren't like that. I will not specify which teachers, but some of them treat the students unfair and are very rough on them. One day I was in art class and there was this boy who would make fun of me for my weight, and my body hair. The teacher never took it seriously even though the boy was known for disrupting the class every chance he got. Yeah I admit, sometimes the teacher would send him out of class or email his parents, but nothing was ever fixed. Now, all I did was throw a sponge toward him, a sponge. Nothing hard, and I didn't even aim at his face. The boy even threw the sponge at my face before that. She yelled at me and humiliated me in front of the whole class, knowing how shy I am. She sent both of us to the math class next door. I was trying so hard not to cry, everyone in the class was staring at me, including my friends and my bullies. The teacher in there wasn't nice either, she yelled at me for not facing the right way. I never talked back to either of those teachers or anything. My art teacher even emailed my mom, luckily, my mom defended me. Once I got home, I couldn't stop crying. My heart was broken, I treated my teacher with respect and she does that in return. It was one mistake. Speaking of bullies, this part completely ruined me. During 6th and 7th grade, I was already having a rough time which caused my grades and my confidence to drop. After the pandemic, I became very shy and had a hard time communicating with people. When I would try and make friends, I would end up making people hate me. I tried to fix it but nothing worked. A lot of the 8th and 7th graders didn't like me. It had been happening since 6th grade, and I couldn't take it. In November of 2023, I tried to end my life. Fortunately, I survived. Things went fine until maybe around February. Until this girl and her friends would make fun of my friends and I every time they saw us. I will admit that I said stuff back, but I was frustrated. One of the girls made a lie about me destroying her back pack and her mom and my mom ended up having an argument. The next week, the same girl assaulted me. everyone laughed and cheered her on. That's when I decided that I didn't want to spend another year at Marshall. It made me mad knowing that the staff did basically nothing. All they did was have me talk to some of them and then the moved my seat in one of my classes. I was upset. I told them beforehand everything that she had said to me. She called me slurs, and would make fun of me in front of everyone during PE class. Adults always want us to "ignore it" until something happens. They don't care. I sobbed so much. Why would they let that happen. They never cared, at all. They didn't even care about how I felt. People recorded me, and they didn't do anything about it. I felt like I lost. I still had to go to school the week after and I was so nauseated. I couldn't even enjoy the field trip we went on toward the end of school. People kept trying to say things to me, but I just couldn't say a word back. It had a big impact on me, I would constantly try and starve myself and I would hurt myself. I really wanted to like the school but it genuinely ruined me. I am the only one out of my two brothers to not be promoted from Marshall. It's not only me who had to deal with it. My oldest brother did too. Please, do not go here. :(
