My two children both attend Glassell Park Elementary and have had great experiences so far. I have older children that attended a different LAUSD elementary school that families would do anything they could to attend. I can honestly say that so far our experience at Glassell Park is on par with that very desirable school. To me the key in a LAUSD school is not test scores, but teachers and staff. We have had exceptional teachers and staff at Glassell Park. You can send your child to most high performing elementary school in the district and still end up with a dud of a teacher. The school also works incredibly hard at setting up enriching field trips. This year my kids went on at least 5 trips. Most schools are lucky if they get one or two trips a year. If you live relatively close to the school I would 100 percent recommend that you tour it and give it a chance. We’re very glad we did.

My daughter received excellent instruction here and found a welcoming community of friends too thanks to the extensive afterschool opportunities. This school exceeded my expectations. They are truly outstanding teachers. Thank you Irving. We are so sad to culminate and move on. It has been wonderful here. Thanks for preparing these kids for success in high school. Great job!

Today I had the pleasure of meeting with my scholar’s college counselor Ms. Kelly Andrade, and I must say I left feeling so excited and deeply grateful. She brought her fresh energy that kids can relate to along with professionalism and genuine passion that went beyond what I expected. After our meeting I felt like my kid could move an entire village under her mentorship! To be fully transparent, when I first scheduled to meet with ECALs college counselor, I was initially nervous as I had met the prior one during parents night and my husband and I were not impressed nor did we feel confident she could rise to the occasion.  But today’s meeting quickly turned those jitters into excitement, motivation, and confidence that my child is on the right path. Ms. Andrade took the time to truly understand my child’s goals, strengths, and was transparent with potential barriers that might arise. She tailored a plan for our child and implemented strategies to keep us connected so we can move forward with a clear path. As a parent having guidance in such a pivotal moment in a child’s life is paramount and we feel she is the perfect person for the job. We feel so excited for the next steps and she is the counselor thus far that every child deserves. Thank you Ms. Andrade for going above and beyond we are truly lucky to have you.

Was good Many years back but no more
