Young Oak Kim Academy

My daughter's has a 4.0 gpa so I say my experience has been great. If I have questions their door is always open and they are always helpful.

Muy bien me an ayudado mucho con mi hija

Most teachers are enthusiastic for students to learn, but there are some that looked depressed because of the kids. The school overall is good, and like always there's a kid who's a bully, but it was an alright school

Best school I've every worked at. Very clean campus. Single Gender Classrooms - either All Boys or All Girls. Excellent learning environment for the Girls but needs to work on cultivating an environment that will better serve the boys. Average level pre-teen rudeness at worst NO gangs or Violence. STEM school, Science department works with USC Robotics, Biomechanics, Engineer students who come teach the kids. Excellent variety of P.E. equipment/activities Archery, Hockey, Bowling, etc and the kids get to go on Surfing Field Trips. There's a free after school program from 3:30 to 6:30 with a great staff and program director who the kids like and respect. The students have ADVISORY class where they stay with the same "homeroom" teacher for the whole 3 years and get counseling on Social, Emotional, Academic Skills. There's also a GEAR up for College Program on campus. The school itself has a controversial architectural designs (I actually like it) But I will say it definitely serves to eliminate the "hiding places" that many, many other middle schools have that allows for kids to do things like smoke, or fool around. I plan to send my daughter to this school.

Very great school for those who are interested in STEAM consortium learning. Definitely this school is for achieving better goals and plans for the technological future!
