I like this school because there security my daughter is very happy

3-star average but only a 5-star review showing? Who took all the less positive reviews down? Leave ALL reviews up...good and bad...they are the true measure of a school! Now...onto my review. The teachers are fantastic, concerned, and supportive. The administration side of this school (front office), however is awful. Any time I go to the office to ask a question about special events, afterschool activities, parental volunteering, etc, I'm referred to the parent center...when I go to the parent center, after trying sometimes in vain to ask my question, they refer me back to the office. The parent center is run by wonderfully sweet volunteers, however since none of them are 1st-language English speakers, I run into severe communication problems quite frequently. Don't try to ask the front office about school policies either...the office staff will tell you to ask the principal...the principal will tell you to ask the office staff. The school office is completely disorganized and lacking in any true leadership. Then at every open house, the principal has the nerve to talk about how great they are. Completely annoying.

yes, i switched schools from ochoa to mlk and that was actually one of the worse choices ive made. At ochoa, i was happier and more socialable and the kids here arent rude at all. its also very safe, compared to mlk. During my 2nd week at mlk, a intruder got into a school even though mlk has very high gates. Everyone says that mlk is better then ochoa, but me myself I am asian. People here at ochoa were not racist to me at all and very kind. I made a lot of friends at ochoa before i switched. Me personally, i think ochoa is better. I miss ochoa very much :3
