This school is a mess and worse, it's dangerous for your kids if they are not part of the ethnic Persian Jewish majority. First, the mess: Principal turnover, 3 in 4 years. Teacher turnover that's even worse, permanent subs, merged classes.The demographic: no worries about having a dominant demographic, that happens. But this demographic is extremely exclusionary. No grace, no openness, no welcoming with open arms. Kids ask you which side you are on in the middle east, they wear MAGA hats. They sell challah bread, a religious food, on LAUSD property as fundraiser. They had an Israeli Independence Day celebration on LAUSD student grounds and tried to whitewash it like it was any other cultural celebration. In addition to above know that the fundraising arm of the school is all stay at home moms in this demographic. By default you can't really join any fundraising events if you work because they are midweek during and sometimes immediately after school. This isn't offensive it just is what it is. Everything else is exclusionary and offensive. Beware if you are not in this dominant majority or are in the dominant majority but are a decent person (and there are plenty of you!).
