Laurel School

Congratulations to Laurel, the school won 2014 California Distinguished Schools title! My daughter is a 3^rd grader in this school. She has been here for 4 years (since kindergarden). She was always happy about the school! She never complained and refused to go to school. What an amazing achievement from school staffs! All the kids I knew just love the school so much and they said they are nuts about Laurel. The teachers of each grade we had so far are all nice to the kids. On her 2^nd grade, the teacher’s mom did volunteer for the whole year! The principle is very responsible, I often see her standing there organizing the parking and car pool. We also received weekly update about school news. School has many kinds of enrichment classes: music, art, science, debate, math. Some of these classes are hold by caring parent volunteers. Their homework load is reasonable, little lighter than other school I know, but kids perform very well. I mostly see 90%+, even 95%+ on the STAR report. I am happy with Laurel, will send my younger boy to Laurel again!

We are very fortunate to have our children enrolled in Laurel. This place, from the quality of the teachers, to the attention they provide to all the kids, to the beauty of the campus makes the experience feel as though our kids are in a private school. It is a wonderful community of families that strongly support the activities and goals of the school. Simply put, our children love it there, are enjoying learning, have made wonderful friends (as have my wife and I), and come home happy. I can honestly say that I cannot think of anything I would want to see done differently.

Laurel has changed a lot since I entered kindergarten there, but it still elicits a smile when I drive by. I had great teachers and many fun memories of the place still live in my mind. It always seemed so big when I was there, now it seems so mini. Guess that comes with growing up!
