This school is a tiny hidden gem in Whittier where my son has been attending for two years. He is a happy and thriving student. He loves going to school and learning. The multi age small classrooms cultivate a culture of tolerance and cooperation. The small student to teacher ratio ensures dedicated
Posted by a parent on 5/10/2025I have really enjoyed my experience with this school. In the classroom there is the wonderful feeling of acceptance and family.
Posted by a student on 2/8/2018I rate Whittier Friends School very high because I feel very comfortable with their teaching program and Parent/ school communication. They have always been helpful to my family, accomadating and welcoming. My children have developed a very strong foundation in learning, the arts and in their own co
Posted by a parent on 9/5/2017My child has been going here now for 3 years. She loved her pre school and is now in their TK program. True, the children share a classroom with older children, however, my child sees the older children as role models and leaders (under adult supervision and guidance of course). My child is excellin
Posted by a parent on 9/1/2017This is an extremely small school, with all of the children in literally different grades integrated into one classroom. All of the children going there (which are only about 8), are from 1st grade and higher. They have all been there since they were younger. The problem is that they don't seem to a

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBroadoaks was once a standout demonstration school with a long waiting list. After COVID-19, the school failed to adapt and modernize its offerings, losing many students to a nearby private school, St. Mark’s Lutheran School, which offered lower tuition and a broader range of extracurricular and educational programs.In May 2024, the school and Whittier College announced that 5th and 6th grades were being "temporarily" cancelled for the 2024-2025 school year due to declining enrollment. Responding to parental pressure, Broadoaks finally ended COVID-19-era practices, introduced Chinese language and art classes, reinstated field trips, and revived after-school enrichment programs. A re-energized PTA secured funding for new library books, and a dedicated team of parents reopened the library for K-8 students.However, as the 2024-2025 school year progressed, initial gains in marketing and recruitment stalled. Applications for 2025-2026 continued to fall, with many families enrolling at St. Mark’s instead. In April 2025, Broadoaks announced that its middle school would permanently close after the 2025-2026 school year, and several elementary grades would be combined going forward.Teachers and office staff remain strong, but there is limited transparency from the new Executive Director and Whittier College. Unless leadership treats families as collaborative stakeholders, the enrollment decline is likely to continue.Parent Review1y ago - St. Mary Of The Assumption Elementary School
