Baldwin Hills Elementary School

The fact that this has become an LAUSD pilot schoolakes a huge difference. Local control of budget and creative community partnerships emable them to provide many enrichment classes. Local curriculum control allows the teachers to use texys and materials that are culturally responsive to their students' backgrounds and help them relate learning to their daily experiences. And finally the dedicated and competent administrators, teachers and staff are all on the same page and determined to provide these kids with all they need to suceed-academically, culturally and emotionally.

Overall, I am very pleased with the amazing teachers and staff of this school. From day one they greeted us and my daughter (now promoted to 1st grade from kindergarten) by name and have been very attentive. I am very pleased with the curriculum and the STEM program.

The Principle the Teachers the staff administrative and maintenence are all extremely attentive to the child's needs. They know our names and when they ask how are you they mean it. The positive energy and higher educational tools used makes Baldwin Hills Elementary Great
