I have not heard of any discrimination among the kids - racial or because they are 'permit kids'. IF there IS any discrimination, it's seems to be among the adults.

I didn't like the structure of her having to learn something she already knew and there were no options for an advanced class. The teacher's next suggestion was to have her be a student assistant. Which still was not resolving the problem of her excelling at learning more. Very disappointed. Read less

My daughter attended 6th and 7th grades at ESMS as a permitted student. With permits becoming more difficult to obtain each year, we made the decision to move to El Segundo last year.

El Segundo Middle School is one of the best I've been involved with. The level of expectation is high but the teachers work with the kids to be successful. There are more activities for the middle school than I've ever seen - it's great for working parents.
