I was raised in Baldwin Park and went to De Anza Elementary school from 3-6th grade. My siblings, neighbors, friend's children have gone to school here and I myself worked in the headstart classroom for a year. Of all the schools in the district, and of all other districts I worked afterwards, this one is truly great for the legacy of dedicated, passionate and hardworking staff and parents that have come through the doors in all the time I've been here. Their only setback is a lack of funding, the same problem nationwide, that cuts arts and music's and athletics programs short. That aside, this school is topnotch in the entire San Gabriel Valley & Los Angeles region, not just its city.

I would rate this School a good 10 because the teacher is really patient the students never get into fights and they have many kinds of different sports

As a parent I am disappointed in the day this school handles business. My child started 7th grade 2016-17 school year. The first time I had to pick her up early from school the office staff wasted 10 mins trying to figure out if she was even a student there. They looked in the computer system and could not find her, they then asked are you sure your child come here? I answered yes I drop her off everyday, they stated well that doesn't mean they go here students leave all the time. As a parent I was socked to hear that statement and question the safety of the students. They then found my child in the system.That same year my child Language Art teacher was out on leave for the year and parents where not notified that a sub was taking this teacher place, then when the sub left a new sub came in to the class once again no notification. After looking at my students grade I question what was happening in that class since my child went from an A to an D. I email the teacher not knowing she was on leave no reply. It was not until I had to email the counselor that I was notified that the teach was gone all year. After talking about grading system the staff notice that the whole class was missing half their assignments for that grading period. 2018-17 school year they marked my child absent from class even though she had a doctors note and after I questioned them they told me that the date ended but there was no end date to return to class. This school and district are the worst.
