Bixby Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-07-28 “It seems like everytime we turn around we are pleasantly surprised by something happening at Bixby! Whether it's the school's crowded PTA meetings every month due to rising and continued attendance, Bixby's booming fundraiser sales, or the 50 or more teachers and parents that show up to the Garden work parties and auctions, this school continues to generate so much enthusiasm and school spirit from its students, parents and staff! Hearing that Bixby is officially becoming a 'GATE' school is excellent news along with the additional afterschool enrichment classes that teach Chess, Music, Dancing, Gardening, and Science. The Principal's continued efforts to recognize student and teacher accomplishments at morning assemblies, and his high expectations regarding school safety and discipline also keep us coming to Bixby!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-01-08 “This is our son's second year at Bixby. We came from private schools (pre-k thru 2nd). I could not be more pleased with the admin, the teachers and staff. All are professional, caring and insightful. The teachers have always been available and open with communication back and forth. The academic programs encompass students at all levels of learning. Teachers and staff are very involved too.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-01-06 “It is my personal experience that this school is lacking in quality leadership. Parents are expected to do homework for their children without concern of the time constraints with parenting and working outside of the home and teachers blame the parents when the children refuse to do homework. I do not recommend this school to anyone with a child of special needs, as they are often not met by those entrusted with their education. It is, again, something the school lays completely on the parents lap.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-10-18 “With a kindergartener just starting in Bixby, I already feel at home. The parents I've met are involved and positive, as are the teachers. The principal, Mr. Gutierrez has been an integral part of every event and PTA meeting.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-04-07 “Bixby has a friendly caring feel about it that provides the students a positive learning environment. The teachers attend regular staff development to keep on top of current trends in education. I am happy to have my daughter attending Bixby. She attended a 'high performing' school previously and I transferred her to Bixby to get the smaller class size benefit. She has never looked back because Bixby does everything they did over there but on a smaller more 'family' scale. Her old school had over 700 children and Bixby is just under 450, the smaller community is awesome. The PTA and principal arrange several community events each year including family movie night, Ruby's Diner night, Chucky Cheese night, Long Beach Armada night, a Family fun run in Seal Beach, ice cream social, special guest speaker children's author Jim Trelease, and more. Go Bixby!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-01-25 “I am very pleased with the quality of education at Bixby, particularly the Staff on the accelerated track. Classes are kept to 20 students or less in K - 3rd and the teachers, so far, have given a steady stream of relevant and manageble homework. Test scores have had a large increase and busing is down to less than one bus. Bixby won the district Spelling Bee and placed third in the District Math Bowl, out of over 35 schools in the district. The PTA is active, friendly and well supported. In addition the school offers Meet the Masters, Science Adventures, after school chess and guitar lessons.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-01-04 “Where do I begin? Bixby has been the most amazing school our family has been involved with. We even transferred here from a 'high test score' school and have no regrets. Academically, Bixby follows LBUSD standards, but in a way that is fun and limits pressure on the students. Bixby has an awesome chorus and music program, Meet the Masters art program, after school chess, after school guitar lessons, and follows the 'Character Counts' program. Twice a week, the entire student body gathers for a morning assembly to recite the Bixby Pledge, patriotic songs, Pledge of Allegiance, and hear important announcements. We even have a special guest during the Call to Order, when each classroom recognizes an outstanding 'Citizen of the Month'. Did I mention, a Bixby student won the District Spelling Bee? AND Bixby came in Second place in the Math Bowl in 2006! Overall, Bixby is the Best!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-12-28 “My daughter attended Bixby from Kinder. through 5th grade. She is now in 6th grade at Stanford Middle School in the GATE program, and earning straight A's! The teachers and staff at Bixby are very accessible to parents and caring of each individual student. They have an accelerated program that is taught
