South Park Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-08-09 “South Park Elementary School is an ideal school for any child to learn. The teaching staff are all well educated and motivated to take any child positively to the next academic level. The principal, Ms. Karen Rose is a super mom to everyone. She sees to it that the students needs come first at all time. She is always accessible, caring, and a wonderful listener. My daughter loves school because of her teachers and Ms. Rose. Every child wants to be in the 350 club - proficient and advance students. I will recommend this school to all parents with open mind. Long live Scorpions!!!!!!!!!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-07-31 “South Park is like an oasis in this community for these children. The administrators are highly educated people that know what they are doing all the time. The teachers and staff are dedicated and committed to positively impact the lives of these children. Let's not mention the school food. It has recently been improved significantly. This school must be a great school if teachers themselves have children enrolled. God bless South Park.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-03-31 “My children attended this school for only one grade. this school is so overcrowded that it is no wonder that the education lacks. I was very glad to pull my kids out of this school. One star is too much but I will give to those teacher who are their because they are the last few who really do like their work and try to help those they can.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-03-17 “One of the worst principals in ALL of LAUSD. Instead of dealing with problem administrators, LAUSD tranfers problem administrators to poor neighborhoods where parents are less willing to stand up for themselves. She discourages meaningful parent and teacher participation.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-03-14 “The best south park had to offer was the supervision of melvin of the after school program. He was great with the students and had great communication with the parents. Both of my daugthers were in tears when he left. He was just a kind and beautifull person.” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: decline 2008-02-08 “I think the problem of this school is the principle. The LA'S BEST progarm is very rude to the students, they dont provide kindness and rarely help kids the with their homework. However , the teaching staff is very good.” Posted By: other Quality Score: 5 2007-12-11 “South Park Elementary is a good school specially taking into account the challenges that our communtity present. Staff is caring and highly involved with the students. It is a campus that is kept safe and clean and should be a model to the schools around the area. The school's leadership has helped improve achievement as well as providing the students with many extra curricular oportunities including field trips and finding donations for camping trips, movies and more.” Posted By: staff Quality Score: 2 2007-05-03 “Discipline problems are not dealt with quickly or correctly. Due to many problems in the school, teachers and administrators are numb to the serious problems that occur inside and outside the classroom. Students are not accountable for their behavior, they are actually rewarded for misbehaving.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-05-02 “South Park Elementary is a good school. It provides a safe learning environment. 3 of my children culminated from South Park. It has a wonderful wonder of reading library that provides children with excellent resources, such as internet access and great books. South Park has an awesome staff.” Posted By: staff Quality Score: 4 2006-03-29 “Teachers and administrators commited to the improvement of the school. Achievement of school has continually improved over the last few years making this school one of the best in South Los Angeles.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-10-07 “I think that this school has great enrichment programs. 'LA's Best' Program is wonderful. They provide extra homework help for the children, as well as extra physical activity.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-07-11 “I have a child that attends south park and I love this school.The principal Ms.Rose is very involved in the community and makes sure that the teachers are involved in community activities. Ilove the halloween carnival because all the money collected goes back to the school to purchase folders,computers,ect. In 2004 they held the south park olympics where every class was assigned a contry to represent!The inaguration was beautiful as all the whole world gathered at south park.This school also has a 92% school attendance rate on a daily basis!The kids are very motivated and work hard because of the great rewards given to them.I love this school!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2004-06-04 “I have two children attending this school and I do agree with what you state on your rating of this school. They are always given you information a day prior to school meetings, they never have enough supervision in the play area. In the lunch area they are always yelling at the students to be quiet if not, they are punished by picking up trash, and for children that are fighting they just let that go. I assume so the school wont look bad. I really dont recommend this school to any one.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2003-09-30 “This is a terrible school. My son was punched in the stomach the first day of school, while on playground, without any adult supervision! Adminstration is always running late in the morning, loose school papers, don't give you the right information, and, to top it off, if you ask for clarification, they are very rude in providing you half an answer. I would NOT recommend this school to any parent.”
