5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe recently switched into MLK from the private and charter systems. This switch was due to several issues within the private and charter systems that began to become evident post covid. Things we’ve noticed on this particular campus: the principal is extremely proactive on this campus. She does not blow off parent or student concerns. She addresses each issue, as we have witnessed. Her timing may not be immediate, which could upset some parents, but honestly, some situations need time to be evaluated and the campus has a lot of students, making immediate action difficult at times. Prioritizing is a key component of a successful administrator. The teachers are qualified. Compared to a specific homeschool system in this district and several surrounding private schools, the teachers in the public system are highly qualified (for the most part). Although I personally disagree with any crossing of political, social, or gender preferences on school campuses, we have only heard of a few teachers who outwardly promote these agendas (but we have not experienced these teachers). The school offers a number of electives, a decent PE system, clean classrooms, and extra curricular options. There are a good deal of students and that allows for students to find their own group and support system. Middle school is tough. Middle school has always been tough. From our perspective, taking into consideration countless friends and family members who attend more affluent schools, they face the same challenges and complain about the same issues that we hear parents at this school discuss. We do not see any great difference between this middle school and one in a more affluent area. Our kids say this school actually has less fights and less mean kids than some of the surrounding city schools that are more affluent.Parent Review4mo ago - El Camino High School
