Rosewood Avenue Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-02-28 “Verity of nationalities. Good teachers.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-12-05 “Average on all accounts. Academically the school would do a lot better if the teachers teamed up within grade levels to elimate the huge differences from one class to the next. The best thing about the school is the Friends of Rosewood. Keep up the good work!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-11-21 “Generally average. Almost zero PE program. STAR enrichment programs are expensive and provided extremely embarrassing results over the past 2 years. STAR after school program is excellent, but expensive, as are the STAR summer care options. Overall better than some local Hollywood alternatives, but considering the Principal's attitude, the swelling class sizes and expensive after-care options.....there's a lot of room for improvement.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-03-25 “The school is great compared to other LAUSD elementary schools it small and a close communtiy school. There special education is not that great because they have a new teacher and in my opinion 1st time teacher from other career fields shouldn't start out teaching kids with various learning disabiliies.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-06-29 “Our daughter attended kindergarten, 2008-9. What was most impressive was the quality of her teacher, her love and concern for the kids, and the extraordinary way the three kindergarten teachers worked together. The parents were also extremely caring and worked together to form a community for the kids. The STAR program staff is also extremely competent and caring. Great group of professionals!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-06-22 “My son just finished Kindergarten at Rosewood, his teacher was Mrs. Aiochi. We had a terrific experience there. We are sad to hear that Aiochi will be moving to 5th graders next year, and the Prinipal is retiring as well. We hope the budget cuts don't take away from the great eduaction going on there. The afterschool program Star is a good program as well.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-06-22 “I was fortunate enough to find this school last year as I searched out good schools for my son who was entering Kindergarten. I enrolled my son, not knowing too much about the school, just what I could find at sites like this. Well, I as so glad I found this school. It is has a diverse population, good test schools, supportive parents, and dedicated staff. I am always recommending Rosewood to others.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-06-02 “As the mother of an orthopedically challenged Rosewood Elementary kindergartner, I have witnessed firsthand the benefits of full inclusion. Since school began this year, my son has improved his reading skills from 3 out of 4 to 4 out of 4, and his math skills are 3 out of 4. We ve known his cognitive abilities were on track all along, so although the special needs programs are wonderful, for my son they would have been frustrating to say the least. He has an insatiable appetite for learning, even requesting to review his past homework on weekends! As crucial as the curriculum has been, My son has formed strong bonds with his classmates. I m sure every parent fears that their child might not be accepted by their peers and we were no different. Within the first weeks, he was invited to birthday parties and playdates.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-02-23 “My daughter attends kindergarten at Rosewood. Her teacher Mrs. Gawryn is awesome. She treats the children with love and respect. My daughter also attends the Star Program and she loves that too. Rosewood has been a wonderful surprise.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-08-01 “We love Rosewood Elementary! We tried out a new 'charter' school and regret that decision whole heartedly. Should have stuck with Rosewood! The school population is so well rounded... it is a melting pot of wonderful kids and families. Our son is so happy here and looks forward to school every day! The teachers are great and the principal is dedicated. The kids have art, drama, dance, P.E.! We consider ourselves very lucky to be a part of this school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-03-20 “My daughter attended Catholic School until she needed to attend second grade. I was fortunate enough to hear about this school. So far my husband and I are well pleased. The curriculum has surpassed many of the Catholic Schools we have had her attend in an effort to get her the best education with moral and ethical values included. Of course liek all things their is room for improvement. The principal is highly involved and the teachers are great at what they do. They work hard to give the children the opportunity to get a well rounded curriculum. My daughter also attends the star program and she loves it. It ranges to be about $400 per month and is well worth it. The star program offers more than many other programs in the area. The school may wish to consider implementing a PE program with a curriculum which includes uniforms.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-03-05 “I have a non-verbal autistic son. Rosewood is a RARE find, it integrates disabled students so naturally into the environment that to be a typical student is a gift. This school employees the most exceptional teachers in Los Angeles. For anyone who is lucky enough to attend Rosewood , they are in for a great education, and a life of understanding.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-01-12 “The after school program is very complete, sports, academics, art, etc. My sons loves it!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-11-29 “I love this school! My daughter has been at this school for a year and a few months and the staff has been great. I love the way they teach and interact with them as well.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-07-24 “Any school is only as good as it's teachers and great teachers make Rosewood Elementary a great school. That's why I love the Principle, she is very dedicated and involved with the school. The 'Friends of Rosewood' parent organization meets monthly and is a great place to talk to Principle, teachers and other parents. The afterschool program, STAR, has a veriety of great classes like: chess, magic, rockband, dancing, literacy, painting etc.. My son will be in second grade this fall and I've been very happy with Rosewood.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-09-14 “The principal and staff are serious about education as well as good health at Rosewood. Rosewood provides a safe environment for your child. My son now attends Rosewood and is very happy there. There is aloso a great Beyond the Bell after school program that leaves me worry free while I'm at work.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-08-25 “Our children have progressed very nicely at Rosewood. The teachers have proved to pay attention to the children and monitor their progress, and I believe the quality of the education they're getting to be on a par with the best schools in LA. We've found the Principal to be very open to new ideas as long as you don't try talking with her about something important while her attention needs to be focused elsewhere. Timing! The diversity of the student body was very important to us in choosing Rosewood, and our children have had good exposure to many different cultures. The Friends of Rosewood parent organization is extremely dedicated and active. Wish more parents would take advantage of the many invitations to join (we disagree with the parent who gives the group a D-), as the same parents have a heavy responsibility to keep funding going. We are very happy here.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-08-15 “I used to think that this school was a great school until my son went into the fourth grade. Then he had a new teacher, that didn't really teach but the only way I could change the teacher , was change the school (because of his learning disability). So in fifth grade thats what he did. The other school turned out to be totally better than rosewood, they gave him books and he learned more things he needed to know, ie. multiplication. But previous to the fourth grade, he had great teachers. I just don't know what happen.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2005-07-06 “Ask about the STAR program if you are trying to get in under open enrollment. Active parents. Beautiful campus.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-05-17 “Great school. Excellent educational program. Very knowledgeble and understanding teachers.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-05-17 “Great school. Very good teachers. Good program.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-04-04 “We feel lucky to be in this 'United Nations' of an elementary school. The Principle is very dedicated and involved. The 'Friends of Rosewood' parent organization meets monthly and is a wonderful place to get to know a terrific group of parents. If you are in or out of the neighborhood I would seriously consider giving it a chance. The overall school scores are not as high as some other local schools due to the diversity of the children; check with the principle's office to learn more about how the school is being scored, what issues are being addressed, etc. The afterschool program, STAR, gives working parents a safe, fun and educational place to leave their children. The cost is not cheap, but there are scholarships for STAR. My son is in second grade and we have been very happy at Rosewood.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-03-31 “My daughter has been at Rosewood since the 4th grade (she's currently in the 5th). During her 4th grade year, she had 4 different teachers! Somehow I still believe she managed to learn consistently. This year I've become disappointed and I'm very happy that she's moving on to middle school. I find the principal good at making appearances and talking efficiently, but the school could be making bounds. At the most important times, she's callous and aloof. My daughter gets plenty of homework that does not reinforce the days activities or check for understanding...but only eats up time. Projects are assigned without rubrics or criteria charts. Rosewood has great potential but falls short. Friends of Rosewood (Parent Group) is it's crowning achievement and is to be commended. Great P.E. teacher (Coach Cliff) as well.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-03-31 “A very good school. Caring teachers and administrators. Parent involvement is very high. Many extracurricular activities available, although hard for kids that don't live in the neighborhood, but this is a District failure, not the school's. Very happy of having my kids attend this school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-03-31 “Rosewood Avenue Elementary School is a great school nestled on the border of Los Angeles and West Hollywood. The population is made up of a very diverse student and faculty body. Rosewood has many additional resources not offered in many public schools: including, physical education, library, and computer lab. The students are exposed to art, dance, music, and the many cultures of the world. Janet Chapman and Kerry Kehrley do a superb job running the school, they keep an open door to all parents and staff. In addition to the staff, Rosewood receives numerous volunteers from various organizations. My daughters (grades kindergarten and third) are very happy and feel safe. Rosewood Avenue Elementary School is the best school in Los Angeles.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-03-18 “Very high parent involvement. Good music and Physcial education programs. Good caring and educated teachers. Has on campus Star education before and after care which is very structured and good, but expensive.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2005-03-13 “My daughter went their until 2nd grade. Kinder was Awesome. Mrs. Aochi is the best. In second grade my daughter was put in a class where the teacher told me that she was very slow and would never achieve success in school, and that she had an attitude problem. She figured all this out in 1 day. My daughter was a young 2nd grader. A september baby. She was and still is imaginative and had a hard time when she was overwhelmed or intimidated. The principal doesn't care how this teacher judges or treats children that she thinks are not worth her effort. I immediately took my daughter out of the school. She is now in the 5th grade and is at a much more academically challenging private school and has made the honor roll since 3rd grade. She reads at a high school reading level. Glad I left.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-02-03 “My son has been at Rosewood for four years and each year he has a completely different group of kids in his class and since they can only play with their own class at recess and lunchtime, it's very disappointing for me that he doesn't get an opportunity to be in classes with his friends from our neighborhood. The teachers are terrific!I give it an A+ for the quality of the academic programs.The homework is minimal so you have time for after school activies. Classrooms clean, organized,and well stocked. Extracurricular activities are provided by the money raised by the parents. Over all the parents and kids are not very friendly.There's no social life at all.I give it a D- for parent involvement. The principal and vice principle are quite friendly.”
