Cantara Street Elementary School

As a parent, I think my son had learned and improved a lot through out the years in Cantara Street Elementary. I am glad that he was in VAPA Magnet in his 5th grade because he had opportunity to learn and enjoy arts and music. I highly recommend the VAPA Magnet Program.

My daughter attended 5th grade of the VAPA magnet program and she did well. The input she had was wonderful and helped her blossom into a more confident child. She experienced many wonderful opportunities and the preparation for middle school has been thorough. I am extremely pleased with her experience at this school. I would highly recommend it.

Cantara Elementary has gone above and beyond my expectations as I recently moved here from the Midwest. The faculty at this school is ALL HEART. I have experienced first hand the loving and caring approach this group of teachers & staff use on a daily basis. They effectively communicate with parents and hold community / family events (such as movie night, etc) which gives that "small town feeling" and the sense of feeling safe. We all understand the hardships that come with being a part of LAUSD but this team works with what they have and are creative. Come be a part of a real school with a community backing and teachers who are developing our future stars. This elementary school is on track to be the example of what quality education is in this area.

The office staff is friendly and helpful and the teachers are supportive. Over the past several years we have enjoyed being a part of the Cantara community.
