Posted by a community member on 9/30/2014I really wish that Whaley wins! I went to school here, and now my daughter does.
Posted by a parent on 4/17/2014Whaley is an average school, a bit below my expectations. The school looks better now, due to new paint (still no lockers for books nor P.E.). The class sizes are about 30:1. They could have more support programs like after school tutoring and clubs. They could also use more security in the fields a
Posted by a parent on 6/10/2013Whaley has improved over the past few years, although there are still a lot of shortcomings that need to be addressed. Some teachers such as Mr. Mohn, Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Weiss, Ms. Byrd, Mr. Reyes, Mrs. Estal are quality educators. There are still many teachers at the school that need a lot of improve
Posted by a parent on 3/4/2012This school in most part is a great school. If you have the potential to learn, the place where you study shouldn't matter. The teachers are very helpful, the staff is like family and the principal is very cooperative. The fights and graffiti and other things are just like any other middle school. I

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBeware of sending your little black child here. They have unrealistic expectations of how a 4 year old should act. Line up, be quiet, sit still. They want to slap a label on them, put them in counseling ( dont agree to this ever) , and suspend them. At 4! School to prison pipeline in full effect here.Parent Review2y ago - Los Cerritos School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe PUSD Virtual Academy is ran through this school. My daughter was not included in the June 2, 23 8th grade virtual academy awards due to retaliation and discrimination from the ELA teacher at the virtual academy awards. She held hate againt my daughter just because I spoke that she didn't handle emails and call request for a parent conference, basically ignored everyhing, plus this virtual academy didn't provide a science teacher for most of the school year and was still asking for students to take the CAT test. I declined for my daughter to test on a subject she did not receive classes for. The ELA teacher, who only had 7 ELA students in her class, had no right to exclude my daughter from receiving her academic awards on June 2nd, but for hate, retaliation and discrimination, she purposely didn't print my daughters awards for the A's she received in Science, Social Studies and Math. Unfortunately, the director of this school Robin Padget saw no wrong doing and actually protected this bad teacher, saying she did nothing wrong. Shame on her for supporting this evil act on her behalf. Even more shame on the ELA teacher, for even calling herself a teacher. Retaliation belongs on the minds of a gang member, and unfortunately this teacher brings this mentality to this school. Very sickening individuals.Parent Review2y ago - Howard Tanner School

Ms. Hennessy, Mr. Maldonado, Ms. Harsh (now Ms. Mora), Ms Garrett, and all the staff thank you for all you do.Parent Review7y ago - Foster Elementary School
