The school is built with community pride, happy students, happy tenured staff and a PTA that embraces selflessness to provide a welcoming experience. I am pleased with the social and
Posted by a parent on 8/27/2025I’ve had both my kids at Capistrano for multiple years now and it’s been a very positive experience. The staff is senior and very attentive to needs and requests.

Posted by a parent on 8/26/2025Not only have I been a parent with this school for 4 years, I have recently become a substitute teacher as well.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe join to Pomelo family and we’re very happy about that! Staff is great and the communication with teachers is like a private school which helps to make it more easy transition from preschool to a big school like LAUSD Schools. They really care about each child and making sure that everyone is seeing ! Highly recommended!!Parent Review2mo ago - Enadia Technology Enriched Charter School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTodos los maestros que ha tenido mi hijo le ha servido de mucho apoyo emocional e intelectual. Agradezco mucho en especial el apoyo que recibimos de parte de la doctora Olmedo Cruz y la señorita Bautista. La doctora Quintanilla es muy accesible con todos los padres y mi hijo le tiene mucho cariño porque ella es muy amable con él.Parent Review2mo ago - Justice Street Elementary
