Arminta Street Elementary School

With the exception of one teacher and the principal—and that's being generous—the rest of the school staff are incompetent, to say the least. From micromanagement and lack of integrity to extreme rudeness in the administration office, they fail in multiple areas. They neglect the school, as demonstrated when a tree branch nearly harmed some kids, and allow parents to drive recklessly in the mornings. Meanwhile, gatekeepers keep children waiting at the gate for 10 minutes if they're just one minute late. This school is a complete mess.

This school does not offer any help towards their students. If one student starts a fight they will scream at both students and get the victim in trouble. The principal and vice principal are very hostile towards the students, parents, and adults.

I have a daughter (2nd grade) and a son (pre-K) in this school, and so far, I’ve had no problems. In fact, the teachers are very responsive when I notify them, and so far the teachers my children have had have been wonderful. One of my children has a learning disability and they are giving her the resources to keep moving forward with her learning. The new principal is very engaging and has brought in new ideas to improve attendance and the drop off situation. It’s definitely improving.

All three of my children have been students at Glenwood. Two were President of Student Council. They have the UCLA Beam program, springboard, intervention, before school and after school programs, and great parent workshops every month. They also have a PTA that helps provide additional support to the school community. Small school with a big heart. Feels like home.
