Sherman Oaks Elementary Charter School

This is my sons first year at this school, and so far he loves it! He told me «mom I love my new school I don’t even have any bullies here!» I like how they have a strict no bullying policy. One thing that stood out to me is how involved the staff and volunteers are. I always see fundraising for the school. I am a single mother who just moved here in Sherman oaks with no family and for thanksgiving they provided me and my son with food and on Christmas they even had a gift box for my son. It really touched my heart :) :) :)

My daughter goes here and she doesnt seem too happy here. The staff seem well… human. it seems thy are under pressure and it becomes obvious from time to time. I like all the extra activities and look forward to seeing if they make munchkin more comfortable. The only thing that bugs me is how unfriendly some of the admin staff can be… its unsettling to think they are around my child, i sure hope they are friendlier to the kids…

this is like one of the best school i love it,. the teachers are so nice. i love them.

As a former student of this school, I have never Loved any school or any non-​living thing as much as this school. My brother started going here when he was 5 in Kinder Garden 11 years ago! As I got a little older, I started to notice what this school meant to my family and I was only about 4 years of age. But when I started Kinder Garden the same year he started 5^th Grade, I finally realized what this school really was, a friend. Of course in a non-​literal way. The academics are amazing here, better than any elementary school locally for sure. The homework is challenging for many kids, but that’s the point, a challenge! When Former Principal Denen became Principal when I was only in 4^th grade, times changed in the worst way possible, but now that she’s gone, we no longer have to deal with the chaos she once caused. The best teachers at that school are the ones who don’t give you the answer to everything but the ones who let you be independent and figure it out. They offer help all the time and are some of the best people I can ever know. Parent involvement is amazing, best parents that you can ever meet. The campus has trash, but we now have certain kids who clean it up. Thinking about my times at Sherman Oaks makes me cry sometimes, because I had so many memories, and so many amazing friends there. From my Kinder Garden Graduation to my last day of 5^th grade, I will always remember that school as the best thing that I have ever known. It taught me Left from Right, Pink from Purple, and Happy from Sad. I can assure you, if you keep your kid there through 5^th Grade, they will only be sad when they leave.

The school is an excellent school with many wonderful teachers and a great family community if you want to be involved. The school took a bad turn when Principal Denen was in charge. Luckily the teachers and staff continued their outstanding work. And now that Principal Denen’s reign of terror is over, the school will recover and continue to be the great school that it’s always been.

Great school. Lots of parent involvement. Teachers that we have had seemed to really enjoy what they are doing!
