"My daughter absolutely loved this school as did her father & I. A school that really cares: the teachers care, the principal cares, the parents care. What I loved was most all parents were closely involved and helped where needed --and were encouraged by the school and teachers to be a part of the school -- a rarity in most other LAUSD schools. That proved the entire school cares! When my daughter needed help in math, one of the teachers offered to tutor her after hours to get her up to speed and it helped her grades that same semester. Also, we took our daughter on a business trip with us for 3 weeks to Korea and all the teachers thought it would be an invaluable trip for learning and history & also for life experience. Each of her teachers provided her school work in advance for us to keep up with her curriculum so she didn t fall behind. I couldn t be more proud to have been part of this school."

"It's just simply a great school. The principal is awesome, teachers really care, and the students receive a great education which is enriched by the community surrounding it. Studies in Science finished by a walking field trip to Page Museum, Art continued through a trip to LACMA, Social Studies seen first hand at The Farmer's Market, ect. It's a wonderful gem of a school found in the center of a city. All hands down- the best!"

"I have two children at Hancock Park School and I could not be more impressed. The teachers are excellent, innvotive and enthusaistic. The staff is caring and dedicated. Despite budget cuts this school manages to have arts programming, a math consultant, abundent supplies, chorus, orchestra and more. The involved parents make this school even better--from volunteering to raising money, everyone does a great job!"

"This school has been increasingly dissappointing. My 9 yr old was a student @ HPS until going to a magnet school & now my younger child attends. First off the teachers-we had bad luck in having a teacher who was more interested in her retirement then her students. She was constently absent and very unenthused. This year's teacher is equally lacking hard work and enthusiasm. Along with her abstenteeism she puts inappropriate demands on the students in order to lessen her own workload. Hiring suitable teachers seems to be a problem. Although I believe in tenure, I see how these teachers have taken advantage of not having to give it their all because their job may be secure. Secondly, the school PTA is also disappointing. It's the same cronies running the school. The all voted for each other or voted for themselves (pathetic). Not to mention, thier very general hand out that "explains" where the donation money is going. Where is the proper auditing paperwork? All in all we're not happy this school use to be good but now it's going in a different direction. Thank goodness for the magnet program hopefully we will get in again."
