Very good director, good teachers. staff . everyone loves children. Recommended for immigrants. They devote a lot of time to learning English.

The school is bad. No one is committed to education. When we started to attend this school my child had better results than after a year here. The education is very very bad. The playground itself and the equipment is not safe, kids get injured.

This school has a good magnet program, shout out for Ms. Matiga and Ms. Shirley! Strict but will make sure your kids will love and want to finish college with flying colors.

This school has a good gifted/highly gifted program. The school staff has been helpful and my son's teacher Ms. Wanthivanond is great! She goes above and beyond for her students. She works hard and provides her students with many learning resources.

I was just browsing the web and decided to check out my kids school and saw negative comments about Ms Wanthimonond.Both my kids go to this school and have been students of hers. And I'm glad they were.Don't change a thing and don't let clueless and kniving people upset you.

Excellent experience- 5 stars! We are grateful to Mrs.Wathivanond and the Magnet leadership for the excellent education our child obtains. Mrs. Wathivanond goes above and beyond her limits to give our gifted children the best education for future life-lasting success. She is extremely talented, intelligent, involved and caring. The best teacher we had so far !!! Our daughter loves her and every day spent at school under her guidance. We highly recommend this school!

Commonwealth definitely deservers 5 stars and mainly because of the outstanding teachers. The highly critical review singled out a certain teacher which I strongly disagree. Ms. Wanthivanond is one of the best teachers my child has had. She is highly caring and has the kids' best interest in mind and to say the opposite is totally out of line. Personal attacks on public forum is cowardly and unprofessional. If they have a problem with a teacher, they should have addressed it in person. Maybe, the parent who thinks she is not doing a good job should take his or her child out of her class as I'm sure there are 20 other kids eager to take her class. I, for one fully support Ms. Wanthivanond and I'm sure majority of the parents do as well.

Mrs. Terpapyan is the best teacher. I had her in second grade. My wish is to go back to Commonwealth and be in her class again for fourth grade.
