    "This is our 5th year at Dixie Canyon, now a charter, and our son is thriving and adores his school. Our son won't let us even contemplate the thought of changing. With the exception of an occasional new teacher, the teachers at Dixie are experienced and know their stuff. The enrichment programs are exceptional - visual arts, drama, computer and science labe. This year, the PTA is investing in a PE coach at lunch and recess. The principal has improved Dixie's overall scores and runs the school well. In reading the recent reviews, I was hurt by the parent who accused parents of not being on campus. First of all, the indication of a child's success is their increased independence and success at school without being tied to their parents hemstrings. And many parents today work full time and are not able to be on campus as much as they would like. The upper grade teachers do not appreciate parents in the classroom all the time. One thing I love about DIxie, is that when I have to drop my son off and run to work every day, I am confident he is safe and in the best place possible, with caring teachers and staff and the parents who can be on campus, are generally very kind too."

    "It sounds like the previous review had more complaints about LAUSD and society than the school itself. We have been at Dixie for four years and have had a terrific experience. I am involved, have a relationship with our hard-working principal (whom I DON'T find to be narcissistic at all) and love our community. Our daughter's teacher is firm, tough, warm, creative, fun and extremely interactive. She set up a class website, which we all can participate in, the first week of school. Yes, as parents we are our children's most important advocates but I feel confident that if I couldn't be there my child would be well cared for. We have a very strong, active PTA that works hard to compensate for all the LAUSD cutbacks. Because of this we have Science, Computer, Art, Drama and PE programs. I don't observe much in the way of politics. If anything we have made some terrific friends here because we are all working together for the betterment of our kids. As far as the permits go, why shouldn't schools allow people in if there's room? We find that permit families are hard-working. Why? Because they're grateful to be at such a great school. We love Dixie Canyon!"

    "This is a good school I am told, compared to some others. However I have found that many of the Parents do not help out the Teachers or the Class Parents. The Principal is machiavellian to the max and is only their to protect LAUSD from the Children and Parents. Yet if you go to the Website, there she in all her Narcissistic Glory. Another issue - probably a 1/3rd of the students do not live in the neighborhood and should not be attending Dixie Canyon. And of course it is an embarrassment how we underfund our schools in California and pamper the Bankers, Corporations, Lobbyists and Military. The teachers must teach physical education, take their kids to the library, deal with the spoiled parents of the Special Ed kids. Some teachers get help, some don't. No Parent can afford to not participate in their Child's school activities. Dixie Canyon makes it difficult to visit your Child during the school day, but it is very important that you exercise your rights and do so. Then the Child know you care, Big Mother knows your watching, and the Teacher appreciate it. The Parent is the only advocate that the Children have. The LAUSD Attorneys could care less about the kids."

    "The school is good for gifted children. If your child is not gifted, or "god forbid" has some difficulties, she won't be appreciated. For a few years being there, we've met quit a few tired, irritated and unapproachable teachers and staff members. Only one teacher was understanding and acceptive, god blesses his heart. Add on top of that principal who doesn't care about nothing but scores and assistant principle who is dangerous and not stable, and you are getting the whole picture."
