Sylvia Park

I had a highly gifted child (deemed gifted by LAUSD and an outside psychologist) in this school and the teacher refused to accommodate to the students needs. She also told us she thought something was “wrong with (students) head” and to have the student checked. We moved schools and the student is thriving with a great teacher. We met with the principal regarding the incident and when she went to bring in the teacher…she couldn’t find the teacher. She wasn’t even in the classroom and nobody knew where she was. When we moved schools we asked for the report card and she refused to send it. So the student has a semester with no report card. I tried to send a complaint letter to LAUSD but because the student doesn’t fit into any “marginalized” groups, they refused to do anything. Do not put your child here. No idea how they have a 9/10 rating. Also when winds are up or there’s too much rain you have to take your child to Woodland Hills Academy.

Chaparral is an incredible school. The teachers are dedicated to the students and community. The strong parents association helps to support the teachers and administrators year round to cultivate a love of learning and provide additional resources when needed. The school focuses on the "whole student" growth mindset which is awesome. Chaparral has specialists for PE, music and art, as well as a media clerk. There are opportunities for parent involvement and a high level of ongoing communication to parents from the teachers and staff. This is a fabulous school!
