Loyola Village Elementary School

Loyola Village was the best introduction to LAUSD I could have when my daughter arrived 4 years ago. Mrs. Goodall is an excellent principle, one who cares very deeply about the children, the faculty, the staff, the parents and the school. The involvement from the community, LMU and the parents make Loyola Village a wonderful school.

Loyola Village is a community school where the staff knows your child. I mean really knows. Not only do they know your child they make a point to know the parent's too! With that kind of dedication, you feel like the school is your family. Tough love when necessary, but in my opinion that leads to great character. Loyola Village--where character counts!

My two nieces attend Loyola Village. I am very proud of them and grateful to their teachers for how well they are doing academically. I also appreciate all of the great volunteer efforts their mom and and other parents make on a regular basis to make this a successful school. It takes a village -- Loyola Village!!

Loyola Village is such a special school with its focus on the arts, caring, dedicated teachers, and the very best principal. I worked there as an art therapist/ counselor for several years, and chose to come back to create a collaborative mosaic mural with the students, families and teachers, to have a chance to be part of their community again and to give back a bit more!

Loyola Village is great...awesome principle, excellent teachers and administration, high achieving and well behaved students, involved parents, theatre, arts, sports, community involvement, and much more!! I am very happy that my 2nd and 4th grade girls are able to walk to this first rate school.

We had GREAT teachers for K, 1, 2 & 3 (left because we moved). Nice physical campus - new library, grounds. After school program, STAR, has people that really care. In trouble re: budget like all LAUSD schools. Too bad cuts aren't in local hands. Small group of involved parents but growing and those that are active are smart and busy! Lots of extra programs if you know about them - plays, gardening, running club, etc....

My best friend's daughter attends Loyola Village Elementary and she seems to be learning so much from the teachers there.

Loyola Village is a great school. Our teachers are caring and dedicated and our principal is devoted to the betterment of the school. Our son is thriving at Loyola.

It's not just one thing that makes Loyola Village School great. It's the combination of kids, teachers, parents and the administration coming together to make the strong community that makes Loyola Village a very special environment. With a strong commitment to both Arts and Academics, Loyola Village excels at both. I wouldn't send my son anywhere else!

Excellent teamwork by teachers and parents. In a marriage it takes two to make a relationship to workout. In your child's education it takes two as well a teacher and a parent to accomplish 110% on what is best for a child's education. The teachers, staff and all parent committees at this school make it an all star school.

My son has been identified as a gifted student from the time that he was in Kindergarten. We enrolled him in a school that, we felt, was not providing Him with a curriculum and/or instruction meeting his level of learning. We enrolled Him at Loyola Village, because it has a great reputation, 800+ API score, and an arts education program that have fully helped our son be challenged! I am completely satisfied with their teachers, the principal is great, and my son is receiving a top-notch education!

My daughter loves Loyola Village Elementary School because of the great performances she has been involved in. Her academics remain the focus however she is infused with the arts in many ways. She has had great teachers the entire time while she has been at the school. I expect great things to come.

This school has a strong sense of community. I have been very fortunate to have my daughter's teacher as a teacher. It is obvious that she loves what she does and has open communication with the parents, which is a rarity nowadays! My daughter is loving the arts program of it. Friday she came home telling me about Picasso, Matisse, and Van Gogh! Go Loyola Village Performing Arts!

The teachers are supported for the right reason: Their concern for the children and their education.
