Washington Elementary School

My eldest daughter attended Lugo grades 1 through 5 and in that time, the school had three principals. Instruction was always geared towards the CST. There were no aspects of a "well-rounded" education. In her 5th grade year, she did not learn about U.S. history, science, or other topics of study. Classroom instruction and homework was always centered on questions covered in the CST. I was teaching my daughter topics she should have been learning in school because this Title I school is so under performing. Leadership is non-existant, teachers are content to just follow the agenda from the principal, and kids are not challenged. I eventually pulled her out of Lynwood Unified and enrolled her into West Middle School in the Downey Unified School District. The difference was night and day. A varied curriculum, involved teachers, and constant communication from school staff & administrators. She is now a 7th grader and taking Algebra 1, on the West TV production staff, and was the top 6th grade science student. Any parent thinking about enrolling their child in this or any Lynwood Unified school would be committing an act of child cruelty. Sincerely, Wayne B. Bergeron, Sr.

I went to this school about 25 years ago and think the teachers were great some are still teaching there. They were a good influence in my life and highly recommend them. Most importantly they believed in me and that's very important in a kids life. I am so thankful for the opportunity I had and the experiences I went through when I lived there.

Very very bad school. their safety is the very bad, back gates always open and a child can get ubducted at any time with out anyone knowing. Staff is ridicilously nosy and very very poorly mannered very rude and principal dosent know how to handle school properly. Sad lynwood has to put up with junk schools like this one.

This school year it's been a game for 4th grade students, too many substitutes and on my case one of them grade my kid with an F . The answer I was given by the principal was that they don't have to prove that he deserves that grade (this means that they can cause sadness on a kid because part of the stuff is just there for a pay check not as a professional). My son its been a straight A student and with the new teacher has good grades and she couldn't explain the grade before because on the same subject with her he had scored an A so. Thanks to the new principal for this 2015 worst year on Thurgood Marshall.

this school is the best school in the world
