We are so fortunate to have our daughter attending La Crescenta Elementary School in La Crescenta California. Our daughter is now in the sixth grade and we have enjoyed the school since kindergarten. We have so many amazing children and their parents who care so deeply about this school. I am so very proud of all the teachers and our Principal who work so hard for our children. The staff in the office give 110% and are there to help our children each and every day. We have a wonderful GATE program and a music program and an after school volunteer run theater class. We also have a tremendous Meet The Masters Program that is parent run and I am so proud of our school.
The staff at La Crescenta Elementary school is very caring and supportive of the students and their families. Of course, a great education is top priority, but the staff also supports the students emotional well being. The parent groups work very hard to provide extra programs that are not paid for by the district. Technology, Library improvement, the Meet the Masters Art Docent program and the Bulldog Productions program are some of the enriching programs supported by the Foundation and PTA.
La Crescenta Elementary School has good values, respectful leadership, positive environment and good people in teachers, staff, students and parents working to make learning a solid foundation.
La Crescenta is a wonderful school with many wonderful teachers and staff. We have an amazing support group of parents who work hard and try everyday to make our children's school experience a great one.
The teachers and staff make the difference. Although my children are no longer there, I know that some of the teachers and staff are still there when my children attended. That just shows the level of commitment and dedication that exists at La Crescenta Elementary.
The teachers and principal at this school really care about each child. This is an awesome school. They particular care about children with special needs.
They have wonderful faculty!
We believe that there is more than donations to a great school program. Principal involvement with students as well as parents, it takes parents and teacher to achieve greatness within. We do not feel la crescenta has what it takes to be a great school when it come down to involving and listening to parents and students.
I think this school should be highly reccomended for excellent grades students and wonderful teachers. I greatly appreciate all school activities and hard work this school has succeded over the years in my opinion la crescenta elementary school is one of the best my child has attended over the past 8 years thak u for everything put in over the years gr
Academically the school is very good, in fact it's the #1 school in its district for science. it does have good music and art programs, though the art program is in danger of disappearing because not enough parents will help out. It is done by parent volunteers and is too much for one person to handle. As of this writing (sept.2007) the principal is excellent and has improved teacher moral and standards at the school. Safety is a real concern with the traffic around the school but options are very limited and all is being done that can be. I have two kids at LCE and feel they are getting a good education.
