Administration has a very hands-off approach to discipline and put the teachers in charge of…read morehandling it. Most of the administrators go through the same credentialing program, so they are indoctrinated into the beliefs the district wants to project. There is a lack of honesty and transparency with administrators to staff members. Students are not held accountable and the APs are ducklings that following the lead duck, but the lead duck has no idea what he is doing as he fell into the position due to some unfortunate circumstances. Sports (football) take precedence over education. It seems as though the district felt him to be qualified since he was the star of the football team when he was in high school. The APs spend more time on the golf cart riding around the parkings lots and sidewalks than they do working. The academics are lack luster and no one talks about state standards or how to help students achieve them. There is very little training or support for new teachers. The district mostly hires their own graduates back (or people that went to Calabasas), so new ideas are scarce. This is a very nepotistic district. This district rides on the laurels of being affluent and having opportunities provided from the student's parents. It's not the worst of the districts, but it could be far better.

I have a sense of passion, pride, appreciation and heartfelt thanks but also such respect and a deep affinity for all of my kids teachers, counselors, administrators and support staff that work there magic day in and day out on behalf of our kids. It was an emotional day watching my son grow up and move on but also such a sadness to say goodbye to an amazing collection of people who worked tirelessly for my kids. I am humbled by what they do and the level of results they achieve in the process. They are the true rockstars and we are blessed to have them in our community. I grew up in Inglewood and wasn't afforded these resources, education or enrichment opportunities yet I was fortunate enough to end up attending UCLA and ultimately moving out to Agoura Hills so that my kids could be part of the famed Las Virgenes Unified School system. On behalf of my kids and I. Thank you for all of your hard work, passion and dedication to our children. We are blessed to have you and appreciate you and all of your efforts more than you could ever imagine. The results that you have achieved with our children's growth, academics and test scores are truly awe inspiring and humbling.

It was fun since one of the speakers mentioned that his kid told him to don't be boring. For a few moments, he had the crowd laughing. Then he continued with his speech. I really appreciate he made it fun and pleasant. The 4-star is because parking was a real challenge since their parking lot is limited. Street parking only available. For this event, we had to park almost 3/4 of a mile from the school since it was really full. Overall, it seemed like the students were and teachers got along well.

The Principal at Red Oak elementary school, Mrs. L., repeatedly told an entire grade level that…read morethey have disappointed her. This happened a number of times during the previous school year and also several times during the school year prior to that one. The Principal's expression of disappointment was aimed at all students within the entire grade level, including those kids who didn't misbehave. The Principal's words were extremely upsetting to our entire family, including the elementary school student who is a well behaved kid. This kind of negativity should have no place at school. We entrust our children to school's care and expect the Principal and others to treat our kids with dignity and respect.

As an alumni family of Ilan Ramon Day School, we feel privileged that both of our sons were able to…read moreattend such a wonderful Jewish institution. Our boys are currently excelling in public high school both socially and academically, earning top grades in the highest courses offered. We strongly credit Ilan Ramon for equipping them with the base skills, confidence and core Jewish values that continually drives them with the desire to succeed and thrive. Ilan Ramon Day School is a truly remarkable place where the staff and educators are nurturing and supportive, while still providing personalized instruction tailored to the needs of each child. They have a strong emphasis on academic excellence and intellectual growth, while always keeping an eye on each child's emotional and social development. I often share with my husband that enrolling our children at Ilan Ramon Day School was undoubtedly the best decision we could have made for their futures. The school provided them with a solid educational foundation, a warm and safe place to grow up, and instilled a profound and proud sense of Jewish identity. They have grown into confident and poised individuals who exemplify empathy and kindness. Being a parent today can be tricky but deciding to send your child to Ilan Ramon Day School is truly a "no-brainer." Early childhood education in a top quality Jewish day school is one of the best investments you can possibly make in your child. We are very thankful we made this choice and couldn't recommend Ilan Ramon more highly!
