My child has been going to Speas for four years now, K-3. We have found the IB curriculum very effective at fostering a love for learning, independence, and international awareness.

Posted by a parent on 12/31/2021I don’t like it. My kid is having different challenges now with no support from the teacher and way too many kids in the class. My child was Honor roll through the whole 1st grade then when 2nd grade comes.. we’re barely making all 3s .. we’ve had about two 2s.
Posted by a parent on 2/7/2019We are educators (university level) and have enrolled our child in this school in 1st grade. She was previously at a school rated 10, according to the above metrics.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a former student and current parent of two amazing children at KP, I can say with confidence that this school has grown tremendously over the past three years, and I’ve seen the transformation with my own eyes. From the teachers who genuinely take their time and invest in each child’s learning, to the way students feel seen, heard, and empowered through everyday challenges, assessments, and special school events, KP is truly creating something special. This isn’t just a school where you drop your child off and pick them up, it’s a full experience. The environment is supportive, uplifting, and safe. My girls don’t just learn here, they thrive here. And as a parent, that’s all I could ever ask for.I’m grateful for the staff, the leadership, and the intentional care that goes into making this school a community.La HP FamiliaParent Review11mo ago - Sherwood Forest Elementary

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son has attended Whitaker for Kindergarten and is currently in first grade. His teachers have been outstanding. There is a strong focus on social skills as much as academic skills. The PTA is strong and very involved. I would highly recommend this school.Parent Review8y ago - North Hills Elementary
