Kyrene De Las Lomas School

My son went here from K-2. 2 of the teachers were nice which is why I'm not scoring this school with only 1 star. Everything about the school is disorganized, the staff is rude and I have witnessed them yelling at parents. They rarely teach what is necessary but focus a big chunk of their day on fundraising. Every day, my kid came home with "more information on the (the current) fundraiser." That's all they care about. Teachers dump the kids out by the umbrella then take off. Staff will hang out and chat instead of directing traffic or watching the kids. The whole place is a MESS! Just look at their scores! The preschool teacher also only has 6 kids in her class and didn't recognize mine in front of her at the gate after a week with my child. We have moved my other child to Mirada and it is Heaven. SO organized, friendly, thorough, and with great ideas and leadership clubs in place. If you just want to fulfill a legal obligation to have your child in school, go to Lomas. If you want a REAL school that focuses on education, achievements, and common sense, go to Mirada.

This year is our 4th at Lomas, and while the teachers are wonderful and caring, the school falls short. There are way too many kids per teacher in each classroom for the teachers to be effective. Parental involvement is also low, so many kids don't receive personal attention at school unless they misbehave or qualify for Title I services. The kids are drilled and tested constantly, even in kindergarten. The principal barely communicates with parents. On the plus side, the office staff is wonderful...most parents know that they will respond to concerns a lot faster and more effectively than the principal does. I think with better leadership and more aids or parent volunteers, this school could do so much better.

This is the 4th year my child attends Kyrene De Las Lomas. He is in 3rd grade and I am very happy with the education he is receiving at Lomas. His teachers have been amazing and they are always willing to communicate and discuss my child's progress. The office staff is very friendly.

Lomas is a school with excellent and caring teachers. The children are very happy at Lomas. Most parents are happy too. Front office staff is very helpful and friendly. The PTA is phenomenal and welcomes any help offered with smiles. No petty parent cliques at Lomas! It is true that not many parents are able to volunteer a lot of time, however, most kids at Lomas have involved parents able to support their learning. Students are polite and engaged whenever I am in the school. Lomas is diverse which is a huge plus. Your child will receive a solid education at Lomas both academically and socially. This is a wonderful public school that gets better each year my family is here.
