Principal Benavidez did a phenomenal job turning this school around. Graham had been listed as a California Distinguished School Award for 2026.I hope the school maintains this level of excellence under the new leadership next year.

My kids have been attending Landels for the last couple of years and I’m delighted to say that we have had such a positive experience with Landels School. As we experienced the teachers and staff are highly dedicated and incredibly caring. They create a nurturing environment for all the kids to foster their academic and personal growth. We found the curriculum well-balanced. This engaging curriculum has a good emphasis on academic growth (Math, writing, reading, ELD) which results in high test scores school-wide. Also, all classes, K-5, have extracurricular activities like STEAM, Art, and Music classes throughout the school year. Moreover, we observed that the Landels school system is fostering character development alongside academic growth which is crucial for creating well-rounded individuals.What we love the most is a strong sense of community in our school. As one engaging Mom, I truly can say that our school has a welcoming and nurturing place for all its students. With a number of events, meetings, playdates, and gatherings throughout the year all families come together frequently which has a big positive impact on our school community. This sense of belonging and shared experiences is essential not just for students but also for their families.

Best school in the world, with extremely high ratings by everyone, and negative bullying. Would recommend!
