I made the decision to move my son to ECMSG in 7th grade after he struggled behaviorally during his…read more6th grade year in a much larger school system. Something we had never experienced before. It ended up being one of the best decisions we could have made. At ECMSG, the Dean and his team did an incredible job holding my son accountable for his negative behavior while also recognizing and reinforcing his positive efforts. That balance truly helped him get back on track. Because the school is smaller, there is much more individual attention and staff really pay attention to the details. The supervision staff genuinely care about the students and build healthy, supportive relationships with them. On days when my son wasn't feeling his best, he could easily request a check-in with the counseling team, which made a huge difference. The office staff is always warm and welcoming. They consistently go above and beyond their job descriptions. The school also provides strong support for parents by clearly explaining the grading system and offering tutoring to help students stay on top of missing assignments. The Special Education department is patient, accommodating, and incredibly supportive. The Principal is highly involved not only with the students, but with the surrounding community as well. He builds meaningful relationships with the kids and truly listens to parents. He has an open-door policy and never makes you feel like your concerns aren't important, which was very different from our previous experience. Their outdoor education program is another highlight. The students learn hands-on skills and how to solve real-world problems in meaningful ways and we get invited to come hear the kids present on their learning. I am extremely pleased with our experience and highly recommend ECMSG to any family looking for a smaller, supportive school environment where students are truly seen and supported.

This middle school is a great fit for my family! I have an 18 year old son who attended Peary MS…read moreand then graduated from Juniper Serra HS. For math, you should consider taking Mr. Yamachika's classes, if interested. He teaches math in a very interactive way which will catch most student's attention and hopefully your child will excel in math like mine did. I can only refer teachers based on the ones we personally knew but you should rest assured knowing that your child will SUCCEED here if he/she WISHES TO DO SO. One thing I do regret is not enrolling/following-up on the Magnet program here while my son attended Peary but he did take AVID classes. That is an alternative program if you missed the application deadline for Magnet. Please take advantage of all the programs LAUSD has to offer. It is our responsibility as parents to do our part as well. Sadly, there are many negative reviews here - please do not let that discourage you. It's all up to your child. I believe in this school so much so that I have enrolled my daughter into the Magnet program at Peary. She just started her first day yesterday. Let's go Huskies! Here are a few more excellent teachers we had the pleasure of knowing a few years back. Ms. Smith-Nobles (English/History) Mr. Fletcher (P.E.) Mr. Lagasca (History) Mr. Fokwah (Science) Mrs. León (AVID) Ms. Irons (English) Ms. Knight (Science) We missed a few teachers and I apologize for that. I simply wanted to share this review as soon as possible with the hopes that people will not be deceived by the negative reviews. Hope this helps.

My family and I recently visited this school solely to watch a high school football game between…read morevisiting Bishop Amat High School and Serra High School. When you enter the private parking lot, employees/volunteers check your valid parking pass (advanced parking purchase is HIGHLY recommended). Many employees/volunteers guide you to a specific parking spot. I found this a smooth, easy way to ensure everyone enters the lot on time and that no one double-parks. I thanked several employees for the great and easy parking experience. The football field and the surrounding area are older but well maintained. Each bleacher seat in the football stadium offers guests a clear, perfect view of the field. As the night went on, the field lighting was perfect, and the stadium PA system was clear and loud. Plenty of security guards and off-duty police officers were assigned to the game and the parking lot, so each guest felt safe and secure during their visit. Every single employee/volunteer went out of their way to make each guest feel welcome, comfortable, and appreciated. Thank you! If you plan to visit this field for a football game or any other event, I HIGHLY recommend bringing a stadium seat, as the aluminum seats can be uncomfortable, much like any other stadium with the same type of seating.

We found Pac Lu during the middle of a transition from overseas due to a family medical crisis…read more Pac Lu was absolutely a gift from God for my teenage daughters as a safe harbor during a very tough time in life. The staff were supportive all around - for academic and spiritual needs. They provided well-organized academic instruction, good moral and character development, positive adult mentors, and Biblical Christian instruction. Both daughters found good friends and enjoyed the family atmosphere of Pac Lu. As a family with cross-cultural experience, we really appreciated the diversity of Pac Lu within a small student and faculty. Across the board, the admin and teaching staff were dedicated and caring. They daily went above and beyond their work hours in their efforts to support students and provide in-classroom opportunities as well as extracurricular activities. We were with PacLu during the pandemic and PacLu was ahead of the curve in figuring out how to transition to online teaching as well as prepare for a safe return to in-person instruction. When my girls and I talked to friends at other schools, we realized that Pac Lu was more organized and efficient than most other schools at that time. True, the school is small. The positive side of that is that parents are able to easily keep in touch with the school and student progress through open communication with admin and staff as well as an excellent online grading and report system. The downside is that activities are limited with a small student body. However, they have a spacious enough campus with lots of outdoor recreation areas as well as cool resources such as a 3D printer, maker/tinker space, a large computer lab and art classroom. Their tuition is very affordable (compared to the other South Bay private Christian schools) and we were happy to fulfill more than the requested amount of parent volunteer hours to support the school. Pac Lu's goal is to mentor students from 6th-12th grade and they love when families will stay for the long run. Even though our family couldn't stay for the long run, but we still hold Pac Lu and the people we met there very dear in our hearts.

My child has been at Chapman since ETK and she is now in the 2nd grade. Kudos to Ms. Trickett for a…read morejob well done in molding young minds. At the end of my child's preschool/ETK year, she was able to read and write numbers, sight words, and even learned how to sing ABC's backwards. They were also taught simple poems and given rewards for memorizing it at the end of the week. Ms. Acosta was very helpful and worked alongside Ms. Trickett. They were a good team. Our plan was to transfer our child to another top rated school in Gardena after ETK, but this all changed when the Mandarin Immersion Program came into fruition. We have no Mandarin background and were uncertain if this was the right program for her. We took a leap of faith and are so happy with our decision as our child is now a flourishing 2nd grade English and Mandarin speaker, reader, and writer. Ms. Zhu, Ms. Han, and Mr. Chen are all top notch and are assets to Chapman. They're full of energy, dedicated, and hardworking. The kids are thriving because of their amazing teachers. The class size is also smaller than the regular program and comparable or even better than a private school. The kids and parents always have a great time when we have our beach and park play dates, until COVID-19 came along. The parents are always supportive and ready to lend a helping hand. Homework is often challenging because of our non existent Mandarin background, but the moms in our second grade group are a great support system and provide reassurance that everything will be ok. It's like being in a tight knit family. I'm excited to see what the future holds for my child and her peers. It is a privilege to be a part of the sole Dual Language Mandarin Elementary School in the South Bay. Thank you, Chapman! https://chapmanes-lausd-ca.schoolloop.com/
