The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

If you can get in, great private school level education at a public charter school. The teachers are genuinely kind and happy. They focus a lot of social and emotional learning for elementary students which I think is important. They do a lot of fundraising, so be prepared to be asked for money all the time, but it's necessary to maintain high levels of education. They do not support bilingual learning in early elementary which is a shame.

Racist school with useless racist managment who can't even protect 2 little Korea boys from being bullied. Be ashamed of yourself. Can't even imagine how those 2 little boys feel. Absolutely no remorse from those yt kids and their parents.

Reflecting on my time at Larchmont I would say the best parts were being able to truly connect with my teachers. Especially during my junior year I feel as if all the teachers I had set me up for success. I would say the worst part of my experience at Larchmont would be the small amount of classes to choose from.

The trauma my child experienced was so severe that to t...

If you’re a single parent and unable to participate in money donation or volunteer contributions, I recommend not sending your child to this school. Based on the characteristics of this school, the elementary grades have a high proportion of white students, and there are usually about 3-4 Asian stud...
