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
Posted by a parent on 12/8/2025My kids are in the dual immersion and have amazing teachers who go beyond their duty. They are very happy at the school and showing greatprogress.
Posted by a parent on 2/13/2020The dual language immersion program is great. My daughter is learning in a great class room environment. The school has or will be adding Chinese as well from what I hear. Not sure why it's only received 3 out of 10 but don't let disgruntled parents influence your decision.
Posted by a parent on 3/30/2015have been unsatisfied since my kids started kindergarten. They are now in second grade and we are planning to move out of Monrovia just to be in a better school district. The village program is a joke! The woman that oversees it is just someone that needs to retire already...she just had a bad attit
Posted by a parent on 2/25/2015Seeing other comments make people think. I was a student at this school and now my children are currently attending, if parents would speak to teachers, PTA moms, and get more involve, they wouldn't have a problem...Now as for the teachers that my children have had, they have always been really help

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageToxic 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.Parent Review2y ago - Immaculate Conception Catholic School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOasis 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.Parent Review2mo ago - Montessori Academy of Arcadia
