Out of all the schools that my daughter has attended , She loved whittier most. Unfortunately we had to leave and move back to our home town and she was not happy to be changing schools . She loved the teaching , staff and her peers. I’m sad we had to move.

This school is very good if you are not African American. I have witnessed and also had to dealt with some of their so called policies that are only enforced if you are African American.

The office manager Jean is super mean and rude. I have no idea how she's still working there when she has no patience for kids and is not helpful at all. All other staff is great and nice.
