I am unsure of this schools ability to give the BEST educational program to students. The facility is horrible:inadequate space, the bathrooms reeks of urine, lacks air condition. Students use out-dated curriculum, limited technology, and doesn't develop students into scientists (science isn't being taught any differently than at any other school in south central LA). After this past year, having my child enrolled at WAYS and hearing all of the reasons why LAUSD did not renew its charter, I did not register my child for this upcoming year. The previous executive director didn't have the students in mind. Instead, she profited from the school renting the facility that she owned (a huge conflict of interested) and did not invest in technology, curriculum, or supplies. The administration lacks communication, doesn't handle misbehaved kids, RUDE, and under qualified if you asked me. The teachers try there best with what they have at least some do. I really questions there scores from previous year, and this year sums it up LOW scores, which makes sense after trying to help tutor some of these kids. Us parents tried to help out. Check out the school for yourself...its a JOKE!!!

This school provides a challenging curriculum for my children, grades K and 4. The Principal and Teachers are approachable and care about the needs of the students.

This is a great school. This year I'll have three of my children attending (2nd grade-Reader, 1st grade-Reader, Kinder-Soon to be a Reader). Excellent teachers and staff!
