As someone directly impacted by this school's daily operations, I've experienced both positives and…read morechallenges. The school provides a strong presence in the neighborhood and supports students, but the way they handle traffic and maintenance creates major quality-of-life issues for nearby residents. During the school year, parents often block driveways during drop-off and pick-up, making it frustrating for those of us who live here. Even after raising the issue, it continues regularly. On top of that, maintenance teams sometimes use leaf blowers as early as 6:30 a.m., even during the summer months when school isn't in session. It would be a huge improvement if the school scheduled this work at later hours. I respect the school's mission, but I hope they'll consider how their operations impact the surrounding community.

Gosh, we just love this school. These days, it's not cool to send your kids to a traditional…read moreneighborhood school. No, parents will go out of their way (literally) to drive their kids to the trendiest charter, magnet, immersion, etc. But look at what gets lost, the whole well-being of the child. Do they have nice teachers who know about their hobbies? Do they have nice playgrounds and plenty of space to run and play? Do they have parents who look after other kids as a community? Certainly, Short Avenue has a STEAM-focused curriculum, Planet Bravo computer lab, theater and visual arts, classical language LATIN instruction, Chess Tutors, LEGO Engineering, and a free after school program for working families. They're all great, but really, it's the people (parents, teachers, and students) who make this little school remarkable.

What a joke this place is. We had to spend hundreds of dollars, go through interviews of us as…read moreparents, interviews of my kid, plus send him to be tested, all so they could tell us we are not going to be accepted. Throughout the process, they acted like they were doing us a favor to even talk to us. Meanwhile, the admissions department at Wildwood was falling all over themselves kissing up to a friend of mine, who happens to be very wealthy and has a well-known last name. Needless to say, her kid was accepted. All this school cares about is admitting rich kids from rich families who will make big donations I viewed some of the classes and was not impressed at all. English consists of a bunch of touchy feely questions, science involves learning how to hug trees, and math was the same exact thing the public schools offer. Waste of time and money, if you ask me.

My oldest transferred here in 3rd grade right before the pandemic hit - we left UCLA Lab School and…read morehave really loved the teachers, staff and leadership of the school. The SEL curriculum and Cool Tools reminds me a lot of UCLA Lab's approach -but without the tuition. Last year my other son started kindergarten. He's young for his grade so we decided to repeat kinder and got full support of the faculty and staff to do this - they really listened to us and allowed us to lead what we knew was best for our child. The Faculty is also very diverse which was important to us - we were looking for a school with strong BIPOC leadership and CWC is exactly that - amazing folks for my kids to look up to and aspire to be like - that look like them. One thing I wish there were more of, is the arts - but we are working on it - it's a community with so much room to create and imagine a future. We are so happy we found CWC and aren't going anywhere!
