Good school, caring teachers and staff. The principal Ms Vardoumian has done a great job at this school Curriculum is good, and and plenty of activities for the kids. School has a close knit community feel to it. Working classs families that want to see they're chilldren succeed. My daughter attends this school and we're very happy with our decision to enroll her here. Keep up the good work Valerio!

I wrote an earlier post but do not see it. I highly recommend that you find another school for your child. If this is your home school, then either try private school or if your child qualifies, a magnet school. This school is overcrowded and I experienced racism with my child from other students. I do not recommend this school.

I am a teacher at this school. Would I want my child to attend this school among the nice, sweet students I see every day? Yes! (But since I would be providing learning and enrichment at home, I would request that my child be placed in an advanced class. I would also enroll my child in arts classes outside of school because our arts program is limited.) We have a hard-working staff that teaches the same content and standards as any other school. Same curriculum, textbooks, and pedagogy. We want the best for our students. [What is the difference between our Title 1 school and schools in more affluent neighborhoods? Fundraising. Schools in upper-middle class areas raise hundreds of thousands of dollars per year (from parents) that they can spend however they d like. They use the money for full-time art (music, visual) teachers, a P.E. teacher, and for overnight field trips. Their (educated) parents volunteer their skills gardening, professional videotaping of school events, and set-design for school plays. We Title 1 schools receive federal funds, but we re more restricted as to how the money is spent. It has to be spent on improving student achievement.]

There are a good teachers! And also the principal is very creative to find the way for success of students. Probably the parents aren't in the same team.

Valerio Elementary has familed the students and their parents with the lack of leadership and horrible CST scores. LAUSD has failed the school by allowing it to get this over populated. Nearly 1,100 students in K-5 is ridiculous and it's no wonder this school struggles to make improvements. Half the teachers give best effort, the other half could care less and just do whatever the heck they want...and their classroom shows. Parents are not involved in this school and there isn't any parent volunteer program such as a PTA or anything.
