Most teachers don't teach. They test. AI will rapidly replace them and do a better job.

This school focuses on traditional school methodology and basic skills with a focus on helping bring up students who are struggling to grade level.The teachers at this school are experienced care and love their jobs. The parent clientele is high on the spectrum of demanding but teachers still work harder and try to meet client needs. Most of the teachers have been teaching for a long time and it is rare for the school to hire a brand new teacher out of teacher college. Teachers tend to help each other and make sure all students are getting similar treatment. The music program is phenomenal here. Highly experienced teaching staff with experience in high school and more complex band and musicianship backgrounds. This school also has an actual librarian with a Library Sciences degree who has a lot of experience teaching and coaching teachers. There used to be a STEAM enrichment technology specialist but after Covid19 the program went away. My son really missed that teacher.Recently admin has changed and there is more focus on equity and inclusion as well as learning loss and bringing students who are struggling up to par. The special education program in particular is phenomenal compared to most. Very caring staff! I recommend La Entrada for students who thrive in a traditional school setting or if your child needs extra help in certain subjects or learning differences. The basics are very important in this school and all subjects are deeply taught. Great teaching staff and admin who work very hard and deserve lots of respect for what they do.

The teachers are LLESD are AMAZING. The teachers are mostly experienced veteran teachers and new teachers are always mentored by a seasoned teacher. The SPED program is stellar. The teachers are caring, knowledgeable, and go above and beyond. I highly recommend LLESD.
