I can only speak with certainty about the gifted magnet program at Braddock, it is a wonderful opportunity for any child that is 'identified' gifted through LASUD. Like the previous comments from parents it is like giving your child a 'private school' education without the cost. My son is doing very

The playground is well supervised and very little bullying is evedent UNLIKE Cowan Ave school in near by Westchester where bullying and disruptive students were allowed to degrade the quality of education in most classes. My daughter came into this school with potential and has really excelled. My daughter's test results were near perfect! Socially the same childern advance with each other from class to class. This allows them to develope real friendships and improved social skills. This was a real frustration with Cowan Ave School. Westchester parents please take a look ! Read less

Regarding the Magnet program, it's an undiscovered gem. Small classes, gifted students. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade teachers are amazing, creatively adapting the curriculum, using technology to extend the learning,actively teaching at a high level. They genuinely care about the unique learning profile
... Read more of each one of their students. The instuction in writing is very good. Very diverse population and the teachers capitalize on the different backgrounds and interests of the students and families. The 5th grade in the magnet is the exception, very low level of instruction, no creative assignments, and a very unpleasant class climate (bullying, name-calling, cliques, etc.). Magnet is not really integrated with the home school, except when it comes to including the magnet school's CST/STAR test results so that the home school can get out of Program Improvement. Read less

This was my son's first year at Braddock Elementary. The classroom was tough. Not the assignments, but the structure of the class; the way the instructor presented the material to the children.

The school has an excellent source of after school care with the LA's BEST after school program. The activities they have for the children enrolled in the program are outstanding. A few years ago there was a change in the management of the program and ever since the program has just soared.They have

Read more dance, drill team, cooking, painting,talentshows, fitness and much more free of charge to dedicated parents.If you are lucky enough to be called off the waiting list, take advantage of this afterschool care. Although the new principal has alot of new ideas, she is too harsh sometimes when it comes to implementing things and her tone of voice. Some of the staff look more stressed out then before. But the teachers are of good quality I would love to see more involvement and creativity from the teachers like the LA's BEST staff has. Read less
