In my opinion,this school isn't as bad as people say it is ,I say they need to work on the security and safety here way more.The teachers aren't so bad although there is certain teachers who aren't the best,but an honorable mention that i'd say is a great teacher here at Peary middle school for 6th grade is Mrs.Kim,she provides a safe learning environment for her students and she praises her students for their achievements,not to mention all of her classes have turned out to be very smart and I say that's because of her teaching.But besides that,there is often fights here and people getting hurt and the office staff don't provide much support to family members which needs a change! PE teachers aren't bad either.An honorable mention for the PE teachers is Fletcher.He is super generous and he doesn't often yell at kids for no reason and he's fair to students.Although,I wouldn't recommend this school.

Our family absolutely loves this school. We applied and were fortunate to be accepted into the Mandarin Dual Immersion Program, and it has been an incredible experience for our daughter. She started in Kindergarten and is now in 3rd grade, and it’s amazing to see how much she has learned. She can now read and speak Chinese, which is something we never imagined she would be able to do at such a young age.The teachers truly care about their students and their development. When we noticed our daughter was having a bit of a learning hiccup, her teacher, Mrs. Johnson, was incredibly supportive. She worked with us to identify the issue and helped guide us toward the right resources so our daughter could get the support she needed. Having a teacher who is so attentive and proactive made a huge difference for our family.The school also offers wonderful enrichment opportunities. Our daughter has participated in activities like theater, choir, and various performances, and we have really seen her confidence blossom through these programs.Another highlight is the after-school program (YDP) run by Ms. Nancy. It is fantastic. Our daughter loves it so much that she often doesn’t even want to leave when it’s time for the 6 PM pickup. The program includes homework support, playtime, arts and crafts, and STEAM activities, which makes learning fun and engaging after school.Overall, this has been a wonderful school experience. The teachers are caring, the administrators and principal are supportive and involved, and there is a strong focus on helping every student learn, grow, and get the help they need when challenges arise. We feel very lucky to be part of this school community.

This review is long overdue. My daughter graduated from Gardena High School in 2007, back then the school was great, she had an amazing 4 year run. Not sure how it is now, as I have no school age children :) After graduating my daughter went on to Tuskegee University, got her BSN at age 20, continued her studies and received her Masters Degree. She is a ARNP (Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner), AIRBNB Owner, Private School Owner and Real Estate owner. Gardena High was definitely part of her success and journey. She met so many friends at Gardena and to this day they are still very close professional friends. Kudos to Gardena High :)
