Read what parents are saying about West Hills STEM Academy1
My son went from loving school to wanting to end his life. Teacher would say he was great to my face then treat him horribly to his face. 9 incidences of bullying and no action taken in 3 months. Finally moved schools when teacher refused to let my son go to the nurse with a ruptured tooth. Absolutely awful. Heard nothing but bad reports from other parents as well. Assistant principal was nice. My sons new school; he is now flourishing.

I am writing to provide feedback regarding my recent interactions with some of the staff members at West Hills Stem Academy.While I appreciate the hard work and dedication of the faculty, I have noticed that some of them have displayed a negative attitude towards students, parents, and colleagues. I have observed that some staff members are not as flexible as they could be in accommodating the needs of students and parents and other staff. It is important for the school to be responsive and adaptable to the needs of everyone. In fact, out of all the staff I've interacted with, only half of them were kind and seemingly flexible with working with me. The other half seemed to talk at me. Instead of having an effective and respectful conversation, I left feeling scolded and unwelcome. Furthermore, one staff member, in short, told me that asking for my name was trivial. I felt our interaction was disappointing and unprofessional.I believe that it is important for all staff members to maintain a positive and respectful attitude towards everyone. This not only creates a welcoming and inclusive environment but also helps to build a strong relationship between the school and its community.

It says a lot about a school that doesn't want to help their community. There are cameras all over the school but they refused to help a community member to see if the cameras caught the theft of their vehicle on camera. I truly hope they don't find themselves in need of help.

Depressing situation in my estimation. Lack of parental involvement, too many behavior problems placed on teachers so teaching is handicapped.

3/104GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe joined Naval Avenue this year with 2 of our kids and have had a great experience. Teachers who are engaged and love what they do, very good at communicating. They have specialists to assist those who need extra help and have worked really hard at bringing the pandemic kids up to the grade level with small work groups and individual instruction. I think it is important to note that parent involvement is crucial to a better school experience, you get out what you put into it. We collaborate with the teachers to work on each of our kids challenges and opportunities and see vast improvement in their academic and social/emotional skills. As soon as a bully issue arose, we spoke with the teacher who not only dealt with the individual student, but also did an entire unit for the class on standby bullying and how it affects people too. I was impressed and learned the bully apologized to my kid and they have been friends since. We were given an opportunity to move our kids and have decided we like where they are and the support from this school has been great.Parent Review1y ago - Jackson Park Elementary School

N/A4GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs parents of three boys, we wanted to find a place where each of them could thrive in their own way. Discovery Montessori has exceeded our expectations and has been instrumental in helping all three of our sons flourish.Our oldest, who tends to be all over the place, has developed confidence and a sense of independence through the gentle encouragement of the teachers. The environment is nurturing yet structured, allowing him to explore at his own pace, while still feeling supported.For our middle child, Montessori’s hands-on, child-centered approach has been perfect for his shy and curious nature. He has embraced learning with enthusiasm and is constantly surprising us with new skills and knowledge.Our youngest, even though he’s still very little, has benefited from the Montessori environment’s focus on early learning.Parent Review1y ago - Marantha Christian Academy
