Freeman (Daniel) Elementary School

My Son has been at Daniel Freeman since 4th Grade. He is graduating this year. Ms. Turner is great. However, she has alot of things (however serious) that keep her away from her Job. So being Great is not that great when your not there! I only gave this school three stars because of Ms. White, she is beyond Excellent. We need more teachers Like Ms. White. If you child is entering 6th grade push to have Ms. White for their Teacher! She is Great! I wish she could be my sons 7th and 8th grade Teacher! She is old school, on point, and what are kids today need!

I'm a 3rd generation parent at Daniel Freeman, all 3 of my children have attended K-6, my oldest is 22 and my youngest is 7 and I have seen the ups and down with Daniel Freeman and I can see Daniel Freeman is on its way back up with Mrs. Turner as the Principal. The API scores are up this year and everything is going in the right direction. All the teachers my children have had were great. The overall rating of this school listed is way too low. It gives a very false interpretation of what Daniel Freeman is all about.

It is a new day at Daniel Freeman Elementary. In fact, the future looks bright now that Mrs. Turner is the new princial. My daughter has been going there since grades 1-5. I only kept her there this year, because of Mrs. Turner. Mrs. Turner is a dedicated, strong and caring principal who expects great things from the children. Which they are more than capable of doing. Most of the teachers are the same. The school is also clean and well kept. My biggest problem is with the Inglewood School District. The curriculum is inferior to neighboring cities. The children are set up to fail by having an inferior curriculum. This is why this is my child's last year. The District test cores are not impressive. Our kids are capable of far more...teach them and they will learn.

The new principal, Mrs. Turner, is really turning the school around. The morale has increased and the school is making progress.

My son attends this school and I was bent on finding another school, but that lazy principal was moved only to Parent and the office manager is gone so things are already looking up to me. I am going to give Danniel Freeman a semester and if I do not like what I see I will move forward to remove my son from this sinking ship quickly.

This is my child s second year at Daniel Freeman. Last year was great. This year lacks a lot of luster. The children are unruly, due to lack of parenting. The Principal, needs to to communicate to the parents and or guardians, that their child(ren) need to correct their behavior or leave the school permanently. There are days when I feel like I am in Watts or Compton on a street permeated by thugs. It s not just the boys either. The girls are also culprit. I love the idea that the school is predominantly black. The teachers are great. They work hard, but I feel as though they do not have the support of their administrator.

Daniel freeman is a great school parents need to take the resposibility of raising their own kids and stop sending the kids to school to get the nurturing that they need at home. All the teachers at this school are all working hard to do the best they can. I have sent all my kids to this school and they have done very well for themselves.

I think the staff at Daniel Freeman is excellent. They are very support and provide a well rounded education for all its students. I truly believe that it is more to education than reading and math and Daniel Freeman is providing this type of education. I would highly recommend this school to my family and friends.
