value your child's education, I would warn you to NOT send your child to this school. I have an autistic, severely delayed son who is on an IEP and is supposed to be in special classroom setting however they placed him in a general education class. The TA and teacher allow my son to do whatever he wants with no supervision. I was constantly getting phone calls that he was getting hurt at school. They do not call me anymore because of the amount of times I have complained to the principal. I have even went to the actual school district office to raise hell for my son and nothing was done. Whatever you hear about this school is true. They place so many students with a teacher that they cannot adequately supervise their own students. I believe since the school is in a lower income area, they do not want to provide (or don't have) resources. I was so weary on even sending my son to this school and my suspicions were correct!!! They do not care about your child's education and are just there for a paycheck which is really sad. Thankfully I am moving to a way better area with a way better school district and my son will get the help he actually needs.

My kid got bullied by the principal and the teachers and by the students because they thought I was gay

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.

I am very concerned for mine and any child’s safety at this school. My child got bullied, called racial slurs and was harassed by the soccer team. I am very disappointed in the school system not protecting my child in need especially when reaching out for help. There needs to be repercussions for the actions of the soccer team. Parents please keep your children safe!!!
