Grand View Blvd Elementary School

Really impressed with the Spanish Immersion program here — so much so that we left Westwood Charter School. GV has traditionally been underpromoted, but a new group of parents is about to change all that. My son is immersed in Spanish — we DON’T speak it at home — and is so proud of himself for actually getting it! The school’s scores are rocketing up, we’re in the top 3% for growth in our region with API climbs of +126 in 5 years to break 800. It’s a wonderful community with so many benefits including free after-​school care with various clubs, art and music every week, and incredible garden program only offered in 5 schools, lots of special events including an art auction, a dragon festival, sweetheart dance, stargazing night, movie nights, Spanish book fair, Winter Program, 826 LA partnership, clubs with Windward School high school students, etc etc etc. The campus is constantly being beautified and the PTA is hard at work. The kids are thriving, the parents are enjoying the fun, the principal and teachers are supportive. So glad we made the move and are giving our children the gift of bilingualism in such a positive environment. Check out all that we offer at

We enrolled our kindergartener after being wait-​listed at the «other district language» schools, admittedly, not our first choice. It should have been. I can’t believe more parents aren’t pitching up tents to make sure they get in. They will be soon. It’s the only ⁹⁰⁄₁₀ DL program in all of LAUSD, which I’ve researched, is the best way for a non-​native speaker to master the 2^nd language, and actually excel at it. It’s been around for over 20 years, the teachers, the principal, the parents are GREAT! We recently had hundreds of volunteers over several weekends, beautifying the school — painting, planting, murals, cleaning, fixing, etc. It still needs more work BUT the very passionate and active parents and teachers will get us there. Concerned about API scores? Don’t be short-​sited. Our Kindergartener is thriving and now even corrects my Spanish. The DL teachers put on a Spring Festival where the kids dance and sing in Spanish. There’s art and music 1 x per week vs. 1 x per month like the other schools. The parents are working to make GV the school of 1^st choice for Spanish Immersion. Dr. Deasy, LAUSD Superintendent will be visiting to support us in these efforts

My daughter is in Kinder, Dual Language Spanish Program here at GV. We are primarily an English speaking home and she is thriving in her Spanish! The teachers are great, the principal is really involved. There is a movement happening here, something special that is being spurred by increased parent and community involvement. We have Beautification Days coming up, sure to transform the look of the campus. If you are fighting and praying to get in to Edison or El Marino, come check us out, we have the same ⁹⁰⁄₁₀ model and no waiting list. Bienvenidos!
