I attended Whitney from 1956-1965, I considered it like entering a castle, the teachers were so dedicated to our learning, it was the days of Camelot, a truly magical time. Joel Werner class of 1965
Posted by a community member on 1/11/2017My school is full of loving and caring people totally devoted to their children. Our school slowly is improving, but it is a difficult task. We have many obstacles- poverty, lack of English, gang filled streets, lack of employment opportunities. School has tremendous outreach into the community that

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers are very nice to the parents and their students. The office staff is very friendly. During after school, The principal is outside speaking to parents and asking how can she assists you. The bad thing is the security. There is about 1 or 2. Sometimes teens are fighting on the back of the school and No security is in surveillance. The woman security has a bad attitude and yells a lot to students.Parent Review11y ago - Crown Elementary Community Acd Fine Arts Center

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI attended this school from pre-K until the beginning of 8th grade. During those years I unfortunately suffered bullying. I myself had brought this up to my teachers and nothing was done. I brought it up to the vice principal and nothing was done. I was hoping for some sort of help that not even the principal provided when I brought it to her attention. For many years it went unnoticed regardless of how many times I had reported it. It was only when I had an emergency evaluation by a licensed therapist during the school day that I finally received the help I so desperately needed. From then on, they began to truly care about bullying and its victims as soon as it had reached extreme of needing an intervention from a therapist. This school truly does nothing for its students and if I could leave a lower review, I would.Other Review10mo ago - Zapata Elementary Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averagemy children would come home almost every week with unexplained injuries or missing items such as clothes, school supplies and more. There does not seem to be a consistent curriculum in place. The administrative staff is cold and unapproachable. I tried checking reviews on Google, but it looks like they have been removed. Thankfully, I came across this site and saw that others have had similar experiences. Very disappointing save yourselves the trouble and stay away from this schoolParent Review9mo ago
