My oldest daughter just graduated last year from Loyola and I have my second child in 3rd grade and yes they are in the magnet program. To me this school is a great school and doesn't matter the diversity of ethnic population that attends there. It all just depends the upbringing of a child. Money and

Overall I think the Principal and all school staff does a superb job treating each and every child equally and focusing on their education and it doesn't matter where they are coming from. If you see a child doing something wrong in your community just remind them that that is wrong. We can't shut down a good education, to any child just because of the ethnic background. Read less

I am sad to read all the negative comments from these so called adults in this day and age. I pay extremly high homeowners taxes which help fund your precious neighborhood school. This is my daughters first year at Loyola and I was pleased until I read these ridiculous posts. How can you all be so silly
... Read more as to let a few bad apples spoil your perceptions as there are bad apples in every ethnic group including yours. My daughter should and will benefit from the taxes my husband and I pay. I took my child out of private school and searched for a good public school for this very reason. My child deserves a good education same as yours and if it means sending her out of the neighbor she lives in to find a better school thats what we will do. Get over it we aren't going anywhere.

I ditto the last comment. This school certainly is not diverse and last commentor is right about the parent's actions. They should no longer allow the permits and maybe they can get more of the neighborhood kids back into the school.

Although Loyola Village Elementary School has good teachers; the diversity there is not balanced at all. Which elementary school are the children living in the neighborhood going? It's a bit sad that we do not feel comfortable going to our home schools. What can we do to make it more balanced?

My son attended kindergarten at Loyola Villege last year and is in first grade this year. I agree with the july 4th post however I don't consider much ethnic diversity here--it's pretty much all african american with a few white and even fewer asian. the socioeconomic background is clear by the way
... Read more some of these parents act. one mother at STAR just parks in the middle of the parking lot to pick her 2 kids up, while her 3 others are in the car and blocks everyone in! some other mother attacked someone with a tire iron outside the school last year. they should stop accepting these kids on permits and maybe the school would have a more wholesome population of kids.

Dito the last two comments my daughter has been in the magnet program since 1st grade, now in 3 rd grade. It doesn t matter where the other kids live and actually kids have to live in LA to get in the magnet program no Inglewood or Inglewood adjacent as the 7/4 reviewer indicated. I can not begin to

I also am confused by the July 4th post. My son has been through K and 1st and is now in 2nd on the traditional side of the school. Not only is he an excellent reader but also very good in math. He has been reading since Kindergarten and I believe he has benefited greatly from the 'Extremely high

I don't know what the parent who posted July 4, 2009 means. First, the kindergarten at LVE is part of the neighborhood school, not the magnet school. K students are local residents or on work or childcare permits. My 2 children both went through LVE's kindergarten. Both are good readers and are advanced.

When they started 1st Grade, they were leaps and bounds above the kids who did not go to K at LVE. The magnet school is a fine and performing arts center. Almost every teacher in the magnet AND the neighborhood school has some kind of extra talent (acting, singing, dancing, painting...). It's great to see how they use the arts to really bring the lessons to life. Read less

My child thrived and did exceptionally well within the kindergarten program. I believe the diversity of the children and the overall commitment by the staff and volunteers truly make Loyola Village and exceptional place.

These two women are doing an exceptional job. Principal Melinda Goodall is an is an EXCELLENT example of positive leadership and displays all the signs of commitment to what she is doing at the principal. She and truly makes the school stand out among the others in the area. Additionally, I enjoyed the end of school year production of the Wiz; I found the production to be simply charming.
