My autistic son has been attending here for two years. All of the staff has been friendly and patient. And he literally loves going to school there. When he was on vacation he kept saying "I want School". He doesn't say many words. So for him to say that I know he really likes going there a lot. read more

York School - Elementary Schools Near Me - Hawthorne, California

See all

This school is outrageous and the staff are ugly by attitude and looks.a new teacher came in for 4th grade named Mr Rosen and he was awful. He grabbed kids and shoved them. Not one not two but zero of the staff wanted to help or wanted to believe any of the kids after they repeatedly told them about him . After some parents called the dean of the school and told them about it they finally did something. After the PARENTS told them. Every kid went out crying from the class one day and none of the supervisors teachers or anyone even bothered to ask what happened only one which was miss Richardson she's the only good adult in that school everyone else is sassy and rude and outrageously awful. Also miss Barbara literally tried to get a kid in trouble for laughing in line. Harmless laughing. I honestly think she's just mad because she can't laugh or smile and if she does, it's so ugly that no one can look or else they will throw up. She needs to brush her teeth they are as yellow as the sun but as dirty as a toilet. York school never has any field trips and it sucks. They do 1 million fundraisers and yet no field trips and all they give is pencils. kids get together a.k.a. relationships in york a lot. They never find out staffs or parents will never know . The food is disgusting like the supervisors breath. They need to get better food I swear never ever let your kids eat the food they put toxic chemicals inside of it . I swear I am going to pray every day that the school burns down. read more

York has been my home school for many years! I am proud to say I was a student at York and I'm lucky enough to be a Dean of Students now. I work very close with all students, families, teachers, and staff cultivating a partnership, because it truly takes a community to help our children grow, succeed and set them on a path of success. read more

Bertha campos , and Mrs. Arreola have the ugliest attitudes I have ever interacted with. (York elementary) They are not very helpful when it comes to giving information/ need anything from the office. It's almost as if it bothers them that the parents come in to ask questions. The school nor the Hawthorne school district care about these students. I attended this school as a child and I was forced to apologize to my 1st grade teacher Mrs. Perez after she called my mom stupid and my dad a drunk in-front of the class. They made it seem as if I lied and brushed it under the carpet. I enrolled my kids there as that is our home school and my son is special needs the school failed in helping my son they did the opposite of what my sons physiologist recommended. Mrs. Arreola her self told me to go with my instincts after feeling bad for us I'm sure. They we're quick to kick us out as I have no proof of moving back in with my parents in Hawthorne after my divorce. The district dropped my 5th , 1st and Tk students in less then a week. My children will not even attend their school of residence as they are full. It's either that or scatter my children in different schools. I am forced to enroll my children in the Lennox school district with my ex partners address since all my mail goes there. I have been treated welcoming at the Lennox school district and the staff is very welcoming and friendly I enrolled my kids in one day, and already my son will be assessed for his iep. If you care about your child's education re think about this school as an option. There is teachers / and some stuff who are wonderful and that are caring about the students, but there is also a lot of them that do not care. As soon as you walk into the office you will realize that it's already a bad choice and that is very sad. read more

Thank you ms.laiben as-well for always communicating this year with covid has been hard but she has made it easier for me to keep a peace of mind knowing my son is safe and is having fun learning. read more
