"I attended Canfield from K-5th and have enjoyed every moment of my expereience there. Canfield emits this sense of family that is stronger than any other school I have attended or visited. Also, this wonderful school gave me so many opportunities to excel: Young Storytellers (a program where students write a play that is performed by famous actors from Disney Channel, Glee, etc.), the principal for a day essay contest, student council, the 5th grade play, the spring musical, and so much more. I love Canfield so much I come back to vouluneer and to enjoy the schools eternal presence. If you choose Canfield to be your child's school, you are also chosing your child's second home."

"Now that my son has been at Canfield for several years, I believe I can give an objective review. I am overall pleased with our experience. You do have to keep in mind this is a public school that is part of LAUSD, therefore it is under funded. That being said, the parents' involvement is so great that it makes up for the lack of public funds. I believe it is this involvement that makes this school so special. I do have to say as a full-time working mom, it is challenging to meet up expectations, since there are so many school activities that require volunteering. But is it well worth it. As far as teachers, we have had some better than others. Most teachers at this school are excellent. The principal responds better if we follow procedures such as requesting time for a meeting in writing, as opposed to stopping her in the hallways. In the perfect world there are areas of improvement, but I truly believe everyone at Canfield does the best they can with what they have. I would not change a thing and I would definitely choose Canfield again."

"I have to completely disagree with the comment below. We have an amazing principal who understands the needs of all children at the school and is constantly doing what is in the best interest of the entire community. She does so much that parents simply do not see or are able to appreciate. If the parent below volunteered more and understood what was going on at school, their opinion might be different. The teachers have really raised the bar this year and this is starting in Kindergarten! If the students are not doing the work that is expected and if the PARENTS are not emphasising the importance of completing assignments and being simply put a parent, your child will not succeed."
