Paseo Del Rey Fundamental School

My child goes here and have done really well, absolutely loves the teacher. Principal is approachable, a big plus, and staffs are nice overall, still, play some favoritism. Somehow all volunteer moms end up in same classroom with the most favorite teacher for that grade level, a little clique there. I would have giving 5 stars, due to this took 1off. Majority of kids are bused in, not neighborhood feel, and hard to establish stable neighborhood friendship. At first, I was really concerned for my child to go here, now I am glad, quite diverse & if the Principal doesn't have a good grip here, will have many discipline issues. Teacher has about 22-25 students ratio, can be tough to teach at time with so many different ranges background /weaknesses, quite tough to make on the teacher to have entire class at same consistent level. Overall, glad that my child got in and is top of the class. Would I choose this school again, well if I can afford private school, my child wouldn't go here, but for LAUSD public school, a magnet is always a better choice....

I love Paseo because the Principal still cares about the student and is very hands on. I am an administrator myself and I can tell you that Mrs. Sullivan loves her job and is very professional. The school cant help be he fabulous. Recently she helped my daughter's class learn traditional Indian dance moves for cultual diversity day.

I am so proud to be a part of this school. I've never seen a principal so dedicated to their school. Mrs. Sullivan is always approachable no matter how busy she is. With all the cuts going on from LAUSD, she has managed to keep the morale up while losing teachers and staff which has been devastating to her. My daughter is in 4th grade and we have always loved this school. They have the best teachers which we love too!

Paseo administration and faculty go out of their way to provide the students with what they need. This includes children who are having difficulty with academics or behavior. They try to obtain outside help from the community and from parents. They also HAVE rules that need to be followed so that all children can received their education in an appropriate atmosphere.

My daughter will tell you - this school rocks!! Just ask those who are part of the Paseo family. Students agree! They are enthusiastic and proud of the diversity of their school environment supported by the magnet program. An indicator of their academic accomplishments is the year to year consistent growth in the school's API scores. There are programs to support the full spectrum of students from special ed to the highest achievers. The teachers of Paseo agree as well! They ranked the principal with the 8th highest score out of all 600 principals in LAUSD. The parents agree too! There is strong parent participation with each child's success/needs & support of many volunteer programs, groups, in class & school events. This school is a great example of a strong, collaborative effort. It is a privilege and pleasure to have my daughter attend this school!

I have to agree with the most recent post. This is a great school for high achievers! However, there is minimal support for children that are a bit more challenging. The principal appears to be empathetic and concered, but often fails to provide any type of intervention. Most of the teachers are excellent teacher and genuinely cares about their students. There is great parental involvement, PTA, and Booster Club. Overall, pretty good school for LAUSD.
