Admission is based on a publicly held (LAUSD supervised) lottery which anyone can observe. Hundreds of families apply for 66 Kindergarten spaces. That is the only reason it is "difficult to get in."
Money does NOT get you into this school -- it's a lottery, though, and very, very difficult to do so. My two boys both got in through the lottery three years ago -- we gave no money and do not receive free or reduced price lunch.
I am searching for a good middle school near los angeles. Many parents have recommended me about this school.
This school is a dream come true! Excellent teachers, staff, parents and curriculum. Our son is so happy there!
I cannot believe how lucky my son is to be at Larchmont. The education simply AMAZING and I feel is better than MOST PRIVATE schools. The community is open hearted and welcoming in every way imaginable. Not to mention, we go through 8th grade. Wow! My son never looked back once we left our prior charter school, nor have I. The difference is HUGE and I would not know where to start. I FEEL SO LUCKY TO HAVE GOTTEN MY SON INTO LARCHMONT! THANK YOU LARCHMONT FOR CARING ABOUT EVERY SINGLE CHILD!!
This school community does all it can to make every student (and family!) feel welcome. Parents and staff are not just concerned about one child, but every child. It is truly an amazing place.
Amazing constructivist approach. Great teachers and strong parent involvement.
My grandson is so happy in school since he moved to Larchmont. He has friends and is doing well in his classwork.
Wonderful principal, teachers, parents & kids all working together to create the best school in Los Angeles. And now we even have a great middle school!
I THINK IT'S A GREAT SCHOOL.
