    Roosevelt Middle School -- Great teachers, clean campus, supportive community; well-funded and feels like a private school.

    I love this school and how it has taught my children to be part of a community. They have been…read moreengaged in learning, both socially and academically. The arts specialists and teachers have integrated the arts into the curriculum which spurs creative thinking, imagination and new ideas from all of the children. My son is now in a public Middle School and doing so well, despite the jump in the amount of students and the different teaching approaches. LFCSA did him well. The teachers, staff and administration are incredibly hard working and wonderful at their jobs. And I think the front desk does an amazing job of guiding parents without over-engaging and getting distracted from their jobs helping run the school. While there are sound issues, the administration and school board have found some fairly good temporary solutions while working towards the (more expensive) permanent ones. But the space itself is wonderful and inspiring. I see in other reviews a complaint about the need to constantly raise money for the school. In no way is anyone ever required to donate anything towards the school. But the special things about this school (not including a parking lot and and amazing building), including programs such as the Artists in Residence, Professional Development for the teachers, Aides to help on the playground and in the classrooms, supplies, field trips, other special programs and more all cost a LOT OF MONEY and are not supported by LAUSD, the City, County or State.. So if you do not or can not help in fundraising, I plead you to contact your City Councilperson, your State Representatives, your Governor, and your President and let them know that public schools like Los Feliz Charter School for the Arts need much more monetary support. I am happy to say that my children love to learn and love to go to school, and I give LFCSA the credit for that.

He wasn't receiving challenging materials, nor the support when children were bullying him. I have to say from day one CalCreative offered an amazing 180 degree difference from the traditional setting. He made friends the first day and has been eager to come to school every day. I'm kicking myself for taking so long to move him. I wish I had done it earlier in his education.

    Our experience at Renaissance Arts has been really good. This school is different, and personally,…read moreI am thankful. My son told me, "There are no bullies at Ren Arts". I can see why. The staff is strict and they somehow manage to do what our previous school was not able to do - keep the kids feeling safe. When my kids started, I sat in on many of the classes to help one of my kids adjust. Almost every day for a year I went to the first 2 classes. In a large 8am singing class meant (I imagine) to gather the kids together and provide structure while stragglers arrived, I watched the teacher nip every potential behavior problem in the bud with, "I hear someone talking. If someone is talking while X is asking a question, then we can't hear X's important question". Or, "If you aren't participating then we are missing your voice. We need your voice". Everything here is based on the idea of an ensemble. And the importance of the individual within the ensemble is stressed. The ensemble performances that they do twice a year are truly amazing. Imagine being thrown in with different groups of students in your school twice a year to perform. Part of the reason there is no bullying is that you bond with your fellow cast members. There are some overarching mission statements that you see over and over again that are unique and heartwarming. For example, although there are no tests, they have a lot of essays to write where the kids have the opportunity to express themselves. They are told that there is not right or wrong answer and they just want to hear their ideas. They are often asked to reflect on themes and the teachers don't feel like they have "the answer", but rather are excited to hear what the kids come up with. It feels like college level teaching. To me, this is exciting stuff! I sat in on a second grade humanities class and felt like I was in college: a group of 8 kids plus a teacher sat around the table and discussed King Lear. The kids had so much to say about the age-appropriate rendition of what they were reading. The school also has a social justice bent and the themes of their shows often reflects current events. One of the high school students told me that they read the constitution every year in high school and every time she finds something new. So yes, there is much here that is going to look different from your typical school. It functions differently and so the form will be inherently different. I feel that as long as the child is happy, that is the best gauge of the fit of the school. And my kids are happy here.

    This is my 2nd year as a teacher at Fletcher Drive Elementary. I have worked at 4 other schools…read moreover the years, and the staff at Fletcher has proven to be the most cohesive, hard-working, and dedicated to the success of its students thus far. We, as a staff, all understand the importance and value of a neighborhood public school that provides high standards and a safe, nurturing environment. We do our best every day to provide our students with the skills and instruction they need to flourish. The community is full of wonderful, loving people invested in their children's future. I have had the pleasure of fostering and maintaining great relationships with parents with whom I share a common goal: the happiness and success of their children. Every teacher and administrator I work with values our students and parents above all else. We know that the only way to achieve results is to work as a team. I am a proud member of this team, and hope to be a part of this proud community for years to come.

My step son has been harassed and beaten by other students and the school hasn't done anything about it. What's worst that some teachers have even told my step son bad things and to other students. Plus the school sometimes doesn't tell you what happens until the child tells their parents. Luckily my step son was moved to another school and now he likes it better than the other school.

    Attended this hellhole couple years ago have to say it was probably if not the worst experience a…read moreschool can give. Principals and yard staff are so obviously biased about punishing kids it's funny. The school does educate kids on academics but not to ever use a single ounce of their brain to clean up after themself. Some examples: 1. Bathroom had the fattest turd in it that a snobby kid left to not flush 2. Little gremlin kids slob around all the lunch tables I swear to whatever god is up there these kids cannot fathom how to actually be hygienic and keep the campus clean. Also, the school kind of looks like a prison. Theres barely any grass most of the campus is just asphalt it's so depressing. My favorite experiences were Science School (which you have to wait the entire time you are at the school for) and the teachers that are chill. To a student currently attending this school, I hope you enjoy or enjoyed pre-k to 3rd grade because everything in your life will crumble down to dust before meaninglessly blowing away into the wind. Kids will discover trends or stereotypes one way or another. And to the teachers that are actually chill I wish you the best in everything that comes to this school.

In fact, I believe the school is in fact one of the draws of living in the area if you have elementary aged children. All in all, I am happy my son went to MWE, and he loved his experience there with his teachers and friends he met there. We never had any big issues there while we were there.

    My son has been at MWE since TK. He's had some amazing teachers and some just average teachers. But…read moreoverall I can honestly say that this is a truly exceptional school. The parents are involved and they truly care - they volunteer at events, donate to the annual fundraiser (which pays for all the extras at this school that help make it so wonderful). There is a genuine sense of community here that goes a long way, and the kids can feel it too. Academically I'd say it's average, not too much homework but not soft on academics by any means. Most learning is done in classroom with light homework (mostly reviewing the days lesson) in upper grades. We've never had a bullying problem or anything that some other reviews mention. I've never doubted my son's safety at this school. He's made many wonderful friends here. We're sad to be moving on to middle school next year. We will miss you MWE!! Go Wolves!
