Eshelman Avenue Elementary School Reviews

 
As a President of ELAC, I can say that all the staff are doing very well. Leadership -Principal and Vice Principal- have an excellent PMA. People who works at the office are very polite and available. Also some of them are bilingual (english-spanish) Same teachers care more than others, but all of them are available for academic issues. Mr. Ali is the music teacher. I saw his wonderful job in the last spring concert. All the parents enjoyed the way he trained the orchestra. It's a hard work well done. My son was in the 5th grade and they had very interesting field trips. One of them was a visit to the Ocean Institute. They dissected fish. Then, they used the microscope to investigate bacteria, plankton, etc. Also they went to Harbor Park to take samples about the water in the lake. Finally they made a Power Point presentation in the Ocean Institute.

Wow, after reading those comments about Eshelman I am thinking my kids went to a different school. Both my kids attended Eshelman K-5. This was a few years ago, my son is graduating high school this year and my daughter is in 8th grade. I was so satisfied with their education they received from Eshelman. All the teachers they had were wonderful, both achieved high grades. The activities at the school were fine. My kids enjoyed the after-school program and singing in chorus. I was a TA for my son's 4th grade class and was at the school everyday, and was able to see what went on there. The only thing that concerned me was lunchtime. The kids were told not to talk while eating, I didn't think that was right to do, they can't talk in class, why not lunch? Thank you, Debbie Hernandez

My daughter attended Eshelman in the 3rd grade and the principal seemed to be more concerned with the test scores than the well being of the children. I will admit that they do have a good reading program. They don't want to do what it takes to teach a child that is having difficulty learning there curriculum. They only want to deal with the smart kids. I would never send any of my children back to Eshelman.

My child went to this school for one year. The principal was not helpful at all and didn't listen to my child's teacher. I think that the communication between the principal and the teacher was not good at all. This affected my child's application procedure for Magnet school. However, the teachers was very helpful and tried to do her best.

I have had my son at Eshelman since K. He is now in 4th grade. I have never been more disapointed in my life. This is a horrible school. They is no extra caricular activites for tthe children what so ever. They care nothing about parent involvement. All parent activities including Back to School, holiday programs and PTA meetings take place during the day. How can any working parent manage to attend? The administration is the worst I've ever seen. The office people are rude. They have a nurse only 2 times a week. ALthough I have never had a problem with any of my sons teachers, I can't imagine they are doing the best that they can with what little resources they receive from LA County Unified.

This school has an excellent reading program that is unlike any that I have seen before. My son just turned 6 and is still in Kindergarden, but he has such a good understanding of sounds and how to turn those sounds into words or how to spell a word based on the sounds. He made such rapid progress. This program is from K-1st when they really learn how to read. I have a relative who is in 1st grade at another school and she does not know half as much as he does in his Kindergarten reading program. I am very impressed.

My child attended Eshelman from kindergarten through 5th grade. (I worked at the school for 2 of those years.) Of all the teachers she had during that 6 years she only encountered one who should not have been in that profession. The majority of the staff and professionals working there are great. However, I found that according most staff [believe] the child is 'guilty' until proven innocent; meaning that the adults assume the kids are only out to get away with something instead of simply being kids who may be making perfectly innocent mistakes. There are several Special Education classes offered on this campus and the teachers involved are some of the best I've even seen. Their students fairly blossom under their care. Overall, your child will have a great time at this school. And remember, the ultimate responsibility of your child's education lies with you their parent. The teachers can only do so much.
