Arlington Elementary School

I have two kids here, and I can't imagine them being anywhere else. My son excels in Math and Science and is well above his reading level. I use to think that they give the kids too much homework, but now am very grateful for how much they push because my son is challenged and it will only benefit him later on. Our little girl is in the Torrance Tykes program with Mrs. Ramaley, who is amazing with the kids and her assistants/aids are pretty darn awesome. Our daughter knows her alphabet and numbers and continually surprises us with what she learns everyday. We love it here.

Arlington is a great school and the management truly cares about its students. The teachers are wonderful and caring about all students. As a stay at home mom, I am at the school more than most, I see just how much everyone from the principal on down cares.

Principal is not in it for the children, test scores are plunging. Special Ed teachers have been pulled from this school due to poor teaching skills and no patience for special needs kids. Many wonderful devoted teachers, but being led by a leader who is only concerned with self achievement and recognition. Looks down on other staff members and does not work as a team. Not the place to send your child.

My grandniece attends Arlington in the special education classes. Her teacher Ms. Crossley and the rest of the staff are wonderful. Even though it takes her longer to learn something, the staff has given her the confidence to try and to learn -- very important.
