Mayflower Elementary School

The principal is like a robot, no feelings at all. The school is very militant. There are very little programs such as music and art. The engagement between teachers and parents is non existent, unless you constantly check in. My child has only been there a few months and I already regret sending my child here. It seems like the district as a whole is suffering from funding issues or there has been a shift in the quality of the education.

Toxic environment led by principal that cares more about her position than the students. The principal gaslit us about federal law and procedures regarding IEP, which was frustrating and we only found out after consulting an advocate and lawyer. The school district will try its best not to provide services and accommodations to special needs kids. Teachers are rude and uncaring, causing trauma to very young children who cannot advocate for themselves. We had to transfer after multiple incidents with the teacher and staff. Until they find new principal and teachers, do not trust this school with your children.

Oasis Trilingual Community School is truly a hidden gem in all of LA. What makes this school so exceptional isn't just the academics, but the deep sense of community amongst all the students and families. The teachers and staff are profoundly dedicated. You can tell they don't just see this as a job; they are deeply invested in the growth and well-being of every single child. They gladly volunteer on Friday nights for student-only events (who does this?), which proves how much they love the kids. This passion is also reflected in their unmatched language immersion program. The way they balance Mandarin, Spanish and English creates such a natural, fluid learning environment that gives the kids a massive head start for global travel, learning and potential work as adults. The most special and rare part of Oasis Trilingual is the community. It’s the kind of place where all the parents actually know each other. There is a tangible sense of "it takes a village" here—everyone is willing to volunteer, dedicate their time, and step up to help the school thrive. Seeing so many parents who are genuinely invested in the success of all the children, not just their own, is what makes this environment so unique. Parents don’t just drop-off and leave; they drop-in and help. If you are looking for a school that offers both high-level bilingual or trilingual education and a warm, supportive community that feels like family, this is it!!! 100/10.
