Beryl Heights is the number one elementary school in Redondo Beach. The API score is 921, second highest in RB by a few points. This is on par with top schools in the state. The comparative school rank is 10. In fact, the school down the street that is a lot bigger and only 6 points higher in API
... Read more is only rated 8. Lastly, the ratio of social and economic disadvantaged students and students with disabilities relative to overall students is very uneaven in Redondo. Especially compared to the school with the highest API. These two factors are considered major contributors to low API scores. Therefore, I believe that the teachers, staff and principal of Beryl have done an oustanding job with the students. The lack of after school programs are a result of less funding and not enough parents willing to pay for the programs. Read less

I am so impressed with this school. My other four children went to Jeffferson, and Beryl out shines it! Mrs. Mohr gave my youngest child a private tour of the school to help ease transition of attending a new school. I can't say enough good things about about this school

These teachers are focused on accedemics and truley care about each child's success. As for Ms. Mohre, the principle, I can not say enough for her, she is very organized, a strong leader and the kids love her; she even plays with the kids at recess! I wish I had this kind of elementery experiance when I was growing up... Beryl feels more like a small town schoolhouse than a public school in the city. Read less

This is our fourth year at the school, and it just gets better every year. Lots of parent and teacher involvement. The perfect size to ensure that kids get personal attention and don't get lost in the shuffle. There is 0 tolerance for bulling or disrespectful behavior of any type. An excellent school.

I have been extemely please with my two children attending Beryl Heights these past few years.

My first child is at Beryl Heights this year and I am very pleased with the Kdg. program. I am a very tough critic when it comes to education and I find the quality of the teachers, support of the staff, parental involvement and activities for the students to be excellent.

Interaction with principal and students is much more than expected. She knows most if not all by name. Great Kindergarten program with lots of special events, parent participation, individualized reading programs for every level of reader, and nice classrooms with plenty of supplies (many are provided

K teachers are all impressive in their knowledge, ability to handle child interactions, and tireless work to make the first year of school a very special one. Strong PTA. No extra-curriculars and almost no afterschool classes. Read less

Academics are good, but discipline is sorely lacking. There's a lot of bullying that's really been increasing over the past 2 years. Otherwise, the school is a bit small, but ok.

The good thing about a small school is the potential for personal attention. The bad thing is that you don't have much choice. Extracurricular activities are nil. The used to be pretty good. All in all, it's better than a great big school, but it needs more district oversight. Both my kids are out
