My son is in 5th grade and has been here since K…read more I would love nothing more to pull my son out of this school and bring him into homeschooling. I don't want him to run around all day with a mask. That's in all LAUSD or most LA-based schools. Nothing personal to this school. You can't get away from it, whether you agree or disagree. But there's a bit of hypocrisy. A few days ago, I was working nearby and I picked my son up after school. When I got there, I didn't know where to go so I walked towards the staff office. There was a staff member on her phone outside (maskless). I knocked on an open door and Principal Toni comes out of her office (maskless indoors). She points me in the right direction and I knock on a second door. A big bearded TA watching a handful of kids opens the door, greets me and proceeds to tell me to put my mask on. I'm literally outside in the open and staff are walking around in their offices and the school grounds maskless. Meanwhile, the children in school are forced to wear their masks indoors & outdoors, at all times, lest they get shamed for being dirty! I kindly ask the TA, "why do I need my mask when the principal is in her office without one?" Again, I'm outdoors; not walking in. I can't emphasize that enough. He says "I have no control over what the staff does." So, basically, they treat our children like the little serfs they are. Do what we say, not what we do. I wonder how often these staff members are amongst themselves maskless. I do it all the time, but on that same token, I don't force my children to wear one. Hypocrites. Principal Toni, you say you care about what parents want, then treat our children fairly. If you're going to force a mask on them for 8 hours a day, then keep yours on, too!

We currently have two children attending WISE School and feel very lucky to be providing them with…read morean incredible educational experience.  Our boys are thriving and look forward to going to school every day.  From the nurturing and caring teachers to the endless array of high-caliber sports (including swimming) and extracurricular opportunities (#1 debate team amongst competing schools), not to mention the beautiful park-like grounds, Wise has it all.  Wise also provides our family with a wonderful sense of community. The families that attend Wise have similar values and goals for their children and bring diversity and warmth to the community with their cultural backgrounds. The administration has been extremely supportive during the pandemic, with a flexible and balanced approach to ensure as normal as possible of an elementary school experience for the kids. The head of school communicates with parents on a weekly basis to ensure transparency as well as to accept feedback from the community. Wise is a leader amongst other schools, tuned-in with the needs of like-minded families and operating from a place of reason. I know our children will leave Wise with a strong sense of self and confidence as kind young adults armed both academically and socially to handle whatever lies ahead.

It is where kids come to thrive and learn while having Judaism in their lives. You do not have to be Jewish to join the school all are welcomed! Pam Kleinman and Tami Wiser are the roots that ground this school and care so much for the children. They work so incredibly hard to make sure that all children are getting the best possible education! All the while teaching our children how to be good people in the world. I love this school and community and feel beyond blessed to be apart of it as do my children. We actually left for a short bit because I live next to a public school. We ran back as quickly as we could there is just no comparison to private school verses public on so many levels but the one I appreciate the most is my kids are thriving at Wise because the entire staff loves what they do from the front security to the lovely girls in the front office. This is a very special community and school where everyone is happy and living their best lives.

The evil I experienced at this school in 1990 was breathtaking, and by today's standards would have lead to this school's closure with all the social media video to back up my assertions. I almost committed su***de that year. "We let the children work out their problems themselves" was the mantra. No relief. No protection. Just the infliction of pure cruelty .... while the "adults" stood by and watched. Tho they ALWAYS stepped in to punish me when I tried to fight back. "The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats it's most vulnerable members." -Mahatma Ghandi. This quote follows me - haunts me to this day, BECAUSE of Buckley School. They taught me a very valuable lesson in this life: to not trust anyone.

You share it with mountain bikers. There's free parking in the residential neighborhood right at the trailhead. Dog-friendly and a lot of them were off-leash. There are certain parts of the trail that are very steep, but you can take an alternate route where it's longer but more flat. There's benches randomly interspersed on the trail. At the top, there's even a newspaper dispenser with absurdist news copies. The drive up was pretty winding but I liked how uncrowded it was.
