Charnock is a great school! All the adults including teachers and administrators truly love what they do and care for all the students. They have excellent learning experiences with a lot of different programs and resources. It is a happy place that helps students feel excited about school.

Overall good. I just think that they did me wrong with my son. Was kicked out this school and was said he couldn’t come there because it wasn’t his home school and his home school doesn’t even have the program that he needs. And they had me running from one place to another and it was all for nothing. Their communication skills weren’t good because I was never informed I had to enroll him in the school. Only reason that I found out was because I got the bus route stating that it was taking him to castle heights

Horrible. Only positive is the amazing staff at the STAR after school program.

I absolutely love my 4th grade teacher. He has given my son the confidence to succeed in Math. My son has always struggled in Math due to a disability, but Mr. Barraza is using number strings and math talks to help his deeper understand of math. Everyday, my son comes home the first thing he does is his math homework at the table. I am really impress with him and other teachers I have had at Charnock.

Charnock is a great school! I have a second grade child who attends the school. Her teachers are fabulous. They are caring and always provide extra work for my child. My child uses IXL at home. IXL is a website that give my child extra help. It is paid for by the school. I would definitely recommend my school.

If you DONT MIND having your kids bullied by other kids, coming home with bruises and not being able to address ANYTHING with the Principal Ms. Engalnd then youd love this school! The prinicpal is uninvolved and walks around like a prison guard. She never smiles and yells at the children. She is rude and unfriendly. She never is available to meet with parents cause she has "paperwork" or a "meeting" and if you do happen to catch her and talk to her She is quick to place the blame on whoever is complaining regardless of fault and the only thing she is good at is avoidence and being defensive. I am a very involved parent and if you attend this shcool you have to be to keep the kids safe. I am desperate to get my kids out of this school. The teachers are OK. not great but not horrible. Their last school was amazing. I wish we hadnt moved. My son asks to go back almost everyday because he says the grownups (teacher staff etc) there are "so mean" its heartbreaking. He should have to worry about nothing but learning and playing at school instead he worries about being beatup because the staff do nothing about it and if he does complain he is called a "lair" by principal. so devistating.

My sister and I went to this school for k-12 (but that was quite some time ago, since I am now 28 and my sister is 24). WE LOVED our time there and we both turned out great! I now have a doctorate degree from USC and my sister has a BA/Masters from UCLA. I recall that our parent-teacher conferences were always very productive and meaningful. This is primarily because our the teachers cared so much and always provided detailed and thoughtful feedback to my parents. My teaches, to name a few were ... 1st grade - Ms. McLaren (my favorite teacher to this day) 2nd grade - Ms. Wozniak (spelling?, also wonderful!!!) I have since moved out of the area to be closer to family. However, if I still lived in the area my 1st choice in public schools would be Culver City Unified (because of the high school). Charnock Rd elementary is great and I would certainly send my children to this school. I am just not sure about the highschool in this district.

My daughters attended Charnock Road for elementary school. They had such a wonderful experience. The teachers and staff are warm, patient and nurturing. Coming in as new students, they felt very welcomed and cared for. To this day, they talk about how nice everyone was, including the children. We have had the most positive experience. Keep up the great work, Charnock!

I give Charnock Road school a 4 star my son has been here since 2004 kinder and the teachers and staff were wonderful. His 3rd grade teacher brought back school friendly and made him like school all over again. Dispite the negativity, Charnock did GREAT justice to my son for my son.

I love this school. I enrolled my child there from private school into the 4rth grade, and the difference between private school and Charnock are HUGE. Charnock REALLY helped my child with math, even more so than his old school. Thanks for doing a great job!

This is a great school with a great staff. My kids attended Charnock and to this day they have not forgotten about their favorite teacher Anita Wozniak. She is so loved by our 3 kids and has done such a wonderful job, I am amazed at how much they have learned in such a short time. Keep up the great work Charnock, I wish there were more schools of your caliber.

I absolutely love working at Charnock Road. The staff works really hard to meet all the needs of the students, create a warm and welcoming environment, and consistently communicates with parents. The teachers work really hard to keep all the students motivated and challenge them daily. I am very proud to be a part of the Charnock Family!

I have had trouble with the teachers at this school. I have gone to the principal and she has tried to help..but to some degree her hands are tied with the red tape that comes along with the LA school district. Overall, this has been the worst school that my children have attended. Both my children have had trouble at this school.

My daughter is autistic, she studied in the special class till June 2008.All her teachers Ms Alfon, Ms Monesia, Ms Felecia and the speech therapist were great. I am so thankful to them for teaching her speaking, reading writing, behaving, eating and everything. The school principal and administration were however not as cooperative. we miss the school and wish my daughter always get such professional, kind and devoted teachers.
