Hawthorne has had a bad image in the past, but it has done wonders to turn it around. There are many programs in place dedicated to supporting students and their needs. Some of these programs include after-school tutoring, therapy, intervention specialists, ELD support, AP classes, academies, etc. The school district also offers teachers regular professional development (some required and some optional). The majority of teachers on this campus are passionate educators who truly care about the students. For the most part, the students at the school are happy to be here and ready to learn.

Not so good of a reputation so it was scary to enroll my son here but it’s actually a great school. My son has told me he gets along very well and very little to none bullying you see. I’ve met the teachers they are very nice and so is the staff. Teachers are strict though but it’s a good school.

My son had the opportunity to go to an elite private school for free in Los angeles. We chose to go to Lawndale High School for their academies and their Sports program. We are so happy that we did. The academics especially in the honors and AP classes are excellent.

I am very happy with the dual immersion program, ELAC (English learner advisory committee) is always improving and providing different resources to their students. The school has a positive environment, my son loves gardening and Makerspace, and I enjoy all the school events.

As a Will Rogers student there some good things About this school and there are bad things, like the fact that the teacher's at this school have some of the most crazies,rudest attitudes, like the Computer and 6th grade math teacher (not all of them) has the worst attitudes ever and they are very hard to approach and when you do, they don't seem that Interested or Appreciated when you asked a question. Also this school is so strict on the bathroom policy it's so messed up that we need a bathroom pass just to empty out our bladder especially when middle school is when your body is changing from a kid to a teenager (especially the girls) so it's important to use the restroom when you need to and you shouldn't need to have a bathroom pass at all. Like I said earlier there are some good things at this school like the fact that they have a lot of after school activities that let us (students) express our likings and hobbies. Also this school has a class that focuses on students leadership qualities and helps shyness into something more than just anxiety. They also make and plan school activities (mostly during lunch). These activities mostly focuses on common problems like the challenges of starting 6 grade,drugs,climate change,mental health, etc... and fun things like, red ribbon week,spirt week,Earth week, etc... Yes each school has bad and good things to everything they do, but if we all come together we can change things for the better and make Will Rogers Middle School a safe, happy learning environment. Thank you for your time reading this lengthy paragraph and have a great day/night!
