Lankershim Elementary School

Parents are not always the best, but you can't judge the school by it's parents. The school works very hard to make this a welcoming and acheiveing school. Curb-side service, fundraisers, friendlier staff, and a hardworking principle is just one of the many positive changes. Acknowledging the shortcommings, i think Lankershim is becomming a very good school in this neigborhood! Hats to you!

Very sad. Every day I see extremely obnoxious parents "welcome" their children to their cars by relentlessly pounding on their horns until their children appear, usually to get yelled at for not coming to the car soon enough. In the morning, the same parents cannot drop their kids off quickly enough in front of the school, many times creating unsafe traffic conditions and posing safety risks for those in and around the area. Not a place for those who care about their kids' well-being.

This school is a horrible disappointment. My child's education is being sacrificed because of California's budget cuts. I was disgusted to find out that he has 36 kids in his 5th grade class. How can one teacher individualize any study toward a child who is falling behind when she doesn't even notice that one is napping for 1/2 hour? This is the second week of school and my child has yet to come home talking about science or social studies, or even English. Seriously? He comes home talking about math, lunch and recess..... Is this just a daycare for these kids?

I was volunteer at this school, but the Parent Center is used for gossip. The rep and others ladies only talking about other parents and the principal. My son is in Kinder. He has good teacher but in general is bad school

Pitifully we lost to Ms. Truex and the principal is acting as if she is owns the school. She has to work very hard to learn how to run a school .

i went to this school and it was a incredible expirience i wouldent change it for the wrold

It's been a tough year, we have'nt had a permanent principal for the past 5 months and on top of that some of the teachers have been distracted by what the union wants. All I have to say is if they put at least half of the energy into teaching as they do to fight the district, this school will be something else. Thank God this is my child's last year at this school.
