ohoh teacher Lisa suddenly gone from the pre K room, no explanation given, she was only reason why we kept our son there, we are leaving...he keeps crying
—Submitted by a parent
Our child started BV this year in the 7th grade after having been attending a provate school. I was really disappointed by the lack of math classes available for students to take. My friends daughter attends an LAUSD public middle school and she is also in the 7th grade. She was placed in an Algebra class based on her test scores. At BV there are only 2 different math classes for 7th graders, and essentialy both are the same. This si very disappointing that there are not more options for high achieving students. I was also disapponted by the lack of focus on the standards at Back To School Night presentation. The majority of teachers only spoke about homework, not the standards and how my child is being prepared for the next grade level and for high school. Kudos to the PE teachers as they were the only ones who spoke about state testing and how they are assisting the students in meeting the standards.

My daughter has entered this school this year as a 7th grader. One month has passed, and no one will talk to her. Everyday whenever she comes from school, she tells me, "Mom, today I have talked to a lot of people and tried to be friends, but they will not be friends with me." Before she came to this school, I have heard that the students at the school, will leave behind new students, but I thought that my daughter since my daughter was optimistic, she would be fine. But ever since my daughter attended this school, she became sad and depressed. I think I really regret my daughter coming to this school, and I believe it is my biggest mistake I have made for my daughter. I have also heard that another new student like my daughter had the same problem. Next year she will be moving to a new school. I am also thinking to move next year.

the pre K is tops with teacher Lisa there; she has a great reputation in Beverly Hills as a caring ,giving and knowledgeable teacher;she gave our chid a great start last year; she has alot of education but doesn't advertise that;we like the location and safety and cleanliness of the school. Our son will be there this upcomiong year as long as teacher Lisa is there!

Academically good. But some teachers reward students with candy several times a week. At home we are promoting less sweets etc...and now our child has developed a sweet tooth, thanks to the teacher. Poor principal supervision of teachers throughout the year. Teacher never emails to discuss issues and one day for the first time, we get a call from principal saying there's been an ongoing problem and to meet with teacher tomorrow! Communication is bad across the board. Very disappointing the way this school is run. New principal may help. Look to the other BH schools.

My children are on permit and come from another district. I found BV to be very accepting of my kids and the teachers are very involved. When my daughter was having a hard time her teachers did everything to help her and now shes doing great. Thank you BV teachers.

BV provides a great education and the teachers are attentive and take a real interest in the success of their students.

Wow. I just graduated from 8th grade and everyone was in tears when it was all over because it was such an amazing school. All the teachers are so caring. The stuff they teach may be difficult but they do the best they can to prepare us for what is ahead. The campus is great and everyone is a huge family. The activities that you get to participate in during school are loads of fun. For example the 8th grade goes to Yosemite for a week. All in all BV is an amazing school and all the tears on graduation night was worth it.

This was my child's first year at BV. It was very hard for her to meet people because it is very cliquey (all the kids seem to know each other from the synogague). And all of the parents seem to be 'in the know' with the teachers and administration. The administration does not reach out well to new families and students and has very poor communication with parents. One day the school let students out one hour early without sending home any notification at all to the parents. The school cares very little about the safety and supervision of its students after school lets out. Wish I didn't waste the money on the Beverly Hills house and saved the money for a more caring private school (with more diversity).

New leadership this year (the former Vice Principal is now Principal), and all is well. BV is a fabulous school, the teachers are caring, informed, diligent and fair. My child, a high-achieving yet very busy male 5th grader, is extremely happy. He also loved 4th grade, his teacher was superb!

This is a fantastic school. It is full of children from the neighborhood, wonderful families and caring teachers. We are so fortunate to send our children to B.V.

Bad teachers, especially middle school. Teachers yell and humiliate students in the presence of other students and treat parents with no respect. My child is miserable and is begging me to change schools. Classes in middle school are huge, and your child has no interaction with the teacher unless it is to be yelled at. If you have a child over 9 years old, choose a different school.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
