The school is extremely unorganized and has zero compassion for their students. Since renovation, they continuously try to "brag" about the school, but they don't tell you all the negatives. They care more about their reputation than the actual students. The brand new auditorium is completely flooded & needs to be redone. IT only holds 900 people, despite being almost 2000 students. Students at the "PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL" cannot enter their auditorium. The recording room isn't working properly. The musical theater room isn't designed to work properly. Ever since the phone pouches 3-5 fights are breaking out a week. Students are getting the chains & jewelry stolen. The students have nothing better to do than argue, WE ARE BORED. People showed up to the school with guns one day; the school sent their students outside WITH the armed individuals. The next big issue is the school events. Most events end up a fail or they don't match the price we paid. We had a movie night; the movie had zero audio. We sat on a field for over 2.5 hours then rushed and kicked off campus. We were told the next one would be free, but never gave us a refund. How is it free? We already paid. The prom tickets started at 130 dollars; it's located in Bell Flower which isn't even a nice enough venue for that price. For 20$ more Compton Early College prom was at DISNEYLAND. Centennial tickets this year are $73 and are in Long Beach at a decent enough venue that matches the price. The homecoming was low budget despite costing 30$, & was cut 45 minutes short due to an altercation, with no compensation, they proceeded to kick everyone out onto the sidewalk of the school, with zero supervision. They claim it was for "safety" but how safe is it to send the "problem" outside with everyone else? Especially alone? Winter Formal was canceled 6 days before the event; everyone has bought dresses, suits, nails, ect. Aside from the ticket money, zero compensation for the additional items that were bought for the event. The nurse is extremely rude. The wellness center refused to listen to my 3 friends and I issues. The lady claimed only "1 person" Yet, any other time, I see groups of 6+ people, but, only when we ask, we aren't allowed. They don't do announcements over the intercom, they put it on a slides video that teachers join. Of course, most of them don't and we have zero information about the school. I switch schools in order to receive a great final senior year instead it has been a headache.

My experience and my son’s experience at George Washington Elementary has been horrible!

I had a very positive experience at Willowbrook Middle School. The staff is very professional and the teachers care about their students. The school has improved a lot lately.
