So far I have not had a bad experience with ecms. I love how you can reach out to the teachers and they communicate with you back if you have any concerns about your child.

We love ECMS Gardena. The teachers are wonderful. Administration is fantastic! The school keeps families in the loop, which is not the case with most middle schools. We are very happy with the opportunities that are available to our child who attends ECMS.

I was very excited for my daughter to attend ECMS due to the extra curriculum subjects that other schools don't offer that help students understand the changes in life they are going through. What I don't like is the constant racial discrimination that is not taken seriously because the school does not believe in suspension or expulsion, the sexually lude comments and acts. I had to write the funded and contact LACOE with a complaint for the school to pretend to handle the situation 37 days lver. My child is uncomfortable, feels unsafe and for things to change I had to do extra steps that still did not involve the school assisting me. Teachers pretend not to see or hear things so they don't have to deal with negative actions towards students ... The staff is the reason the school is going to always be lacking in the percentage of any other race besides Hispanic ... Because they are not concerned with building character and decent adults they are more concerned with pacifying.. which means they are not a college bound school because in college sexual assault, racial slurs and physical assault are all expilsionary acts.

The Teachers keep parents informed on how their child is doing in school. And the Principal is quick to ensure parents are informed when anything happens at the school. My son is happy and thriving in school.

Really happy with this past school year for my son. He has engaged and the teachers and staff are amazing. They truly care and have helped him transition into 6th grade during the covid distance learning successfully and he actually enjoys class. Surprised it’s rated so low, it’s a gem in Gardena for a middle school for sure!

It is clear that the whole teaching team strive to build real life projects for the students to explore in groups and individually. To explore effectively student understand that they must tap into and use skills from all academic disciplines. Big emphasis on composition, reading and math. But must give history a greater place and science!

My daughter was a student at ECMS. She had a positive experience. The projects are especially impressive. They manage to connect English, history, math and science and the students do some amazing things. There is always a presentation and students are encouraged to come watch. It's true the school doesn't have a nurse, as a previous poster mentioned, but I don't believe there have been broken legs! There is a playground, which the school community built as part of a grant. The students use it a lot and are encourage to be kids and not grow up too fast. Field trips are cool, too. The neighborhood may not be the safest, but the campus is fenced in and has a security gate. I think if you ask the students, they feel really safe on campus, since the teachers and staff do a good job handling student disagreements. The teachers stay with the same kids from 6th to 7th grade, so they know your child really well, and there is a full time counselor. I always feel safe parking on the street and walking in the neighborhood.

My school is really cheap, cant even afford a nurse, and the kids are really bad, with a bad neighborhood gang around called G-13 aka Gardena 13. The kids have a playground and many kids already hurt themselves playing on the playground some broke their arms, others broke their legs,etc.
