"My children have attended SOEC for 3 and 5 years now. My children's, as well as my own experience at SOEC has been extremely positive and enjoyable. Both of my children love going to school and have a love of learning. I attribute that to all the wonderful teachers they have had as well as the principal who puts the kids first. Every year the school gets better and better. The parents association does a great job of making sure the school has many of the extras LAUSD has cut, including music, art, computer lab and teacher and a new science lab and 2nd science teacher. I highly recommend this school."

"This school is VERY overcrowded! There are bullying problems that are being swept under the rug. The teachers are stressed out because of their class sizes. No matter who is to blame for the class sizes the fact is that there are TOO many kids and not enough supervision! My child didn't make it to the 5th week of her kinder year because we pulled her out FAST and found a wonderful private school! If you can afford it do it! It's worth every penny. Doesn't a class size of 15 children sound better than 34 children? And the bullying issue at our new school is non-existant. I am aware that there are bullies at every school but at a christian school the children are taught to love one another and "What Would Jesus Do?" THAT type of education is priceless!!!!!"

"I was very impressed by the way Principal Harr handled a very sensitive, student specific issue in the past. She didn't throw her hands up refusing to stand up for what is right as some unfortunately would, instead she courageously took the lead and set new precedents for her school. Every school can benefit from having this type of a Principal leading their school to a higher standard. Kudos, Mrs. Harr!!!"

"SOEC is a very good school! I was raised by a dedicated first grade teacher and I have high standards. My son is in second grade and has thrived academically and socially each year. We have been blessed with gifted and nurturing teachers who have my child, and many others, working above grade level. Most importantly, my son has made nice friends and loves school. His teachers have really fostered a love of learning. But it is more than just the academic standards - all students enjoy an amazing music teacher, an incredible art program, science lab and science teacher, a computer lab and computer teacher, and there is an orchestra, a theater program, and sports teams that keep winning district tittles. I have enjoyed a great level of communication with his teachers, all of whom have gone way above the call of duty and really love teaching children. It is a big elementary school that feels much smaller once you get involved and it is full of caring passionate parents and teachers. With the support of the parent organization budget cuts do not interfere with a quality well rounded education."

"I love SOEC. I have to say, we have never experienced any of the issues people are mentioning below. Both of my children have had wonderful, caring teachers. Overcrowded classrooms are at EVERY LAUSD school. Lanai, Hesby, etc., all have 34-36 kids in their 4th and 5th grade classrooms. All of the K-3 classes have a maximum of 24, the LAUSD norm. But, even with those class sizes, my children are receiving an excellent education, both academically and socially. I wouldn't trade the experience they have had for any other school."
