Washington Elementary School

This has been the worst school I've had the pleasure of dealing with. After 4 years I have found the teachers lazy, the current principal biased and racists.

Awful school. Don't waste your time enrolling, not to mention they will try to force you to stay and a transfer can be hard to get.

My wife and I are really happy with Washington! The principal and teachers are very passionate and understanding. They truly want the best for our children. I see good things coming from this school. The principal is very hands on and very pro-active. He's everywhere and very approachable. You can feel his passion for making this school better each year. The teachers are amazing!

The Principal in Washington is very inspiring to both students and teachers. All the teachers I've experienced with are great in terms of challenging students to excel and behave. And they do have a genuine heart to care for kids, plus they are very open to parents' opinion and put extra time to follow up on our concerns. Therefore, I am thankful that my kids are studying in Washington School.

Exceptional academic program enhanced by a specialized team for the needs of children with challenges such as autism, add, vision problems etc. Through this elementary school I have had children go on to make the honor roll and many other achievments at both the middle school and high school level in the same district. It has been a very rewarding experience.

Washington School is an anchor in San Gabriel...one of the very first schools in the region. The community loves the school and I like that parents who were students now have their children there. It makes for a great 'family-feel' to the campus. The school is accessible...teachers, staff, and the principal are available and willing to help and talk through any question. Also, I am always welcome to help/visit my kids' class. In the classroom, students get to work at their level, which is great. My child who is independent gets to take on projects that interest her and my kids who need extra help mastering skills get that attention. The PTA provides art classes, there is music and field trips. The value at the school is to teach the whole child and to treat the children as a community. I am glad to be a Washington parent.

Washington school has it all- great PTA, great leadership, great atmosphere but most of all it has the most awesome teachers- each of whom has the ability to change a students life for the better. We are extremely lucky to have our children in Washington school for 5 years and the experience has been nothing short of a blessing!

Our 2 children have attended this school since 2005 and we are extremely pleased. The student body is diverse, the campus is beautiful with ample green space, and I cannot praise the teachers enough. The level of parental involvement is high too, which makes the school feel so family-friendly. We love Washington!
