Los Amigos School

Los Amigos is an Excellent School. My two children have been attending here since K and are now in 5th and 6th grade. The dual program is awesome. Not only they learn to speak and write in Spanish but the level of teaching for Spanish is like up notch. It is not just basic Spanish, it is at the same level as any other school in its own country. And at the same time teachers teach students the academics required in English. I would definitely recommend this school to everyone. Is a little hard to get in so be the first one on registration day. Students who live far from the school are also provided with transportation. What else can you ask for? My only recommendation is for the school secretary to work on her people skills. The rest of the clerical staff is super!!! I would also like to recommend to keep the playground area open for up to 6th grade. For some reason they only allow students up to 4th grade in the playground. My kids get bored during lunch. The principal, Mrs. Esqueda, is great. Easy to talk to and helpful. I would only ask her to improve her attire to a more professional image. Great job teachers... Thank you for your hard work and dedication!!!

In my 20+ years of teaching, I find Los Amigos to be superior when compared to other schools as far as parent support, staff cohesiveness, student behavior and motivation to be the best they can be. This is a dual-immersion school in which all core subjects are delivered in both English and Spanish at the same level of instruction which strictly adheres to the state standards and above. I am proud to be a teacher in this K-8 school.

My children attend Los Amigos, great program and great school. Teachers are caring despite overwhelming work involved in the dual immersion program. Office staff is helpful, difficult situation for them,can't make every parent happy thattheir child can't get in because of a waitlist and no room in classes.

My daughter graduated from Los Amigos and i was very happy with the program. the teachers that started with the program because they understand how to teach it. the office staff was so great always so helpful, even though some parents were out of control. the principal mr. heinrich was the best, he knew the program so well. i was not happy with the 8th grade teachers.

My son just finished Kindergarten at Los Amigos and will start 1st Grade in one week. We're excited. The teachers are great and their principal Mr. Heinrich is an awsome advocate for the kids. All staff seems very interested in the developement of our kids. My son is learning spanish as a second language - he's doing great. I will definetly enroll my other son at Los Amigos. The only thing I'd wish they have is an after school program to assist parents with spanish homework. They also offer spanish classes for parents.

Faculty and administration seems caring, however; clerical staff and the nurse are absolutely rude. The do not follow through when they promise a return phone call and it is more than obvious they cover each other's faults. Too bad for the Palmdale area, great program but the clerical staff needs to be changed or re-trained in proper customer service!
