Posted by a community member on 3/1/2026If your child has an IEP and is in the general education placement, avoid this school at all costs, especially the Film and Media magnet. The teachers of this magnet are not supportive and don't follow IEPs and they single-out students with IEPs during classes.If your child is on the alternative cur

Posted by a student on 1/29/2026Some very dedicated teachers and personnel. But mostly an unresponsive nightmare. I wish I had read these reviews before I sent my kid here. The number for the School Police is 213-625-6631. Put it in your phone. Keep your phone close. You will need it. Good luck to you.
Posted by a parent on 5/28/2024Some kid brought a gun to school once and the administration didn't find out until the end of the day, some kid brought a knife to school, and there was a lock down in October of 2022. There are also a lot of kids who do drugs and vape in the bathrooms.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy oldest daughter absolutely LOVES this school. She was bored at the previous school and now I've seen her confidence grow. I think it's such a wonderful place for kids to really express themselves and be heard. The other day she told me she didn't want to be late and miss anything. She said, and I quote her "I love to work on my book!" I think it's awesome that they keep her interested and intrigued. And the teachers keep you in the loop for everything! I never feel like I don't know what's going on. Sometimes I ask myself "Who is this little smarty pant 5 year old?" Then I thank KWS for giving her the confidence to ask questions and dive into anything (except a pool... not just yet) :)Parent Review11y ago - International School of Los Angeles - Los Feliz
