Koelsch Elementary School

Taft does a phenomenal job at engaging families, offering rigorous learning experiences for a wide variety of students, and celebrating student growth. This year they hosted a reading growth assembly where they honored the students who made the most growth in reading, celebrated the entire student body with a free book fair, and a special parent breakfast.

We open enroll at Whittier for the dual language program. My kids range from typical to mild special needs and they love going to school here thanks to the dedicated and talented staff and diverse student body. It's also a community school, meaning there is extra support for kids' learning needs, and after school child care right on site. It's a shame this website gives Whittier 2/10 based on arbitrary test results. It's a solid 10/10 in my book!

St. Mary's is a welcoming community with some of the greatest teachers at every grade level. The school welcomes families into the school to active and engaged in their children's education. the partnership between home and school is a tremendous benefit to the students. The curriculum prepares students to excel academically, socially and spiritually. In addition to the great instruction in core subjects, St. Mary's includes Spanish for all students from Pre-k through 8th at least 4 times per week. All St. Mary's students that graduate in good standing are admitted to Bishop Kelly. If you are looking for a high quality education in a positive and inspiring environment, I highly encourage you to visit St. Mary's.
