Read what parents are saying about Marquez Charter SchoolMarquez is such a special school. We went into the kindergarten selection process four years ago thinking that only private schools would offer the best education and the best social-emotional support for our daughter and we were completely wrong. This small neighborhood school has the most fantastic community full of extremely experienced and caring educators who know every child, committed and involved parents who lend their talents and resources to improving the school at every turn and wonderful resources to offer students who need extra social support or academic challenge as needed (our daughter has needed both throughout the years). We started our daughter in kindergarten at an expensive private local elementary school and pulled her out after the very first semester - the staff was inexperienced and not properly credentialed. Our daughter was bored and unchallenged. It was only when she transferred to Marquez that she truly fell in love with learning and with the experience of going to school.
Posted by a parent on 8/30/2023Our kids had a great experience and a great start to threat academic years. One of my children ended up going to Stanford and one went to Michigan and they both went to the Palisades public schools all the way through high school.
Posted by a parent on 7/12/2023Marquez is a wonderful engaging school that focuses more on the development of curiosity and creativity than most schools. The parent fundraising is well used on smaller class sizes and science music and art teachers. The teachers do more than focus on test scores - they engage the kids in fun and lively projects to get them thinking on their own. The community is very kind and welcoming. I have two kids at the school - one who just graduated from fifth grade and one in kindergarten. They have both made true friends and the parents are lovely as well. I am so grateful for this nurturing neighborhood school. Also it doesn’t hurt that the playground overlooks the ocean.
Posted by a parent on 6/9/2022I have 2 kids there, 1st and 5th. We’ve had an amazing experience, pre Covid, during Covid, and returning after Covid. Our teachers have been wonderful. Bonus, an ocean view and great playground.
Posted by a parent on 4/25/2022My child has had a very positive experience at Marquez. The teachers at Marquez have been wonderful! Unlike some other local schools, there is not a lot of turnover of teachers. The teachers are seasoned and committed to the Marquez community. Our new principal, Dr. Reeves is fantastic and is bringing so much enthusiasm and positive change to the school. We feel lucky to have such a great school in our community.

Through all of the trials and tribulations of the last two COVID impacted years the school has been amazing about prioritizing the kids and making sure that their learning during these early formative years is impacted as little as possible.Parent Review2y ago - St. Matthew's Parish School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBetween family and friends I have decades of experience with St. Matthew's. The campus and location are second to none. However this goes completely unutilized as students are taught more about the church and indoctrination than the surrounding environment. Education is severely lacking. Rampant bullying and resultant trauma are common. Entitled classmates with little to no respect for boundaries and racist ideologies prevail from a total lack of diversity.Other Review1y ago - Westside Waldorf School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a parent of multiple children and a child psychologist, I am beyond impressed with the school, both academically and socially. The children are so eager to learn and are engaged with the curriculum. The experiential learning is invaluable and the children truly remember how they learn everything. They aren’t just sitting at desks doing rote memorization tasks. They learn to think critically and have a healthy self esteem. In addition to their daily main lessons, they offer handwork, PE (aka games), gardening, mandarin, music, wood working etc. My oldest never complains about his homework (3rd grade) and my first grader is begging for homework. We also love the community. The parents truly value keeping our kids, kids. The teachers also care so much about the students and go home thinking about each one. They tailor the curriculum thinking about each child in their class (ie if they are more on the gifted side or need additional help). Waldorf pedagogy is a blessing and something that is truly needed for children in todays world.Parent Review1y ago
