Castlebay Lane Elementary School

Posted May 9, 2009

Both of my children went to this school and the teaching staff if unbeatable. First grade teachers make the class fun and challenging. No better teacher at the school then Mrs. Fernandes, (dedicated to each of her students and always available to parents) unfortunately she passed away this year. Ms. Wiley and Ms Genna are both excellent choices

Great choice for elementary school. The teachers were some of the best that my daughter has ever had. After being quite successful due to Mr. Moore and Dr. Field's help my daughter went off to an extinguished private middle and high school.

Castlebay School is the best among LAUSD schools by far with a superior excellent principal, but is definetly behind if compared to private schools. Our kid attended the Kindergarten and was a great learning experince. However, 1st grade was a disaster for all as the learning curve took a dive. The high rating is only achieved because the parents teach the kids extra at home and at Kumon classes otherwise the school rating is no better than Germain. Teachers grade the kids depending on parents social activity in class and not on child's own academics. To save our child we moved to a private school.

They are known to be extremly rude. The staff is actually nice your a participating parent. There are a few teachers that yell a lot and I've already pulled my son out of Montessori because of the same issue. I don't believe that any teacher should yell at anyone unless a child's safety is at issue and they need to to get their attention urgently.
