    "This school has been fantastic for my kids for years (both Upper and Lower Schools). They have wonderful friends who love learning and appreciate each other's talents and interests. The students never have to "dumb themselves down." Many assignments are project-based allowing the students to delve deeply into the subjects in which they are interested. There are few worksheets and little to no repetition. Most teachers are very good (some are excellent), but there are a few that need to be let go and replaced with teachers who are intelligent, energetic, confident, and want to teach to the level that these students are capable. Teachers should also provide more differentiation as some students are exceptionally smart and need greater challenge. The one other problem has been the closed door policy of the administration, but that may change as the headmaster will be leaving soon. Parents and students who started at other private and public schools usually appreciate Mirman School the most, as they know that other schools do not meet their needs."

    "Mirman School is finally going to be a "great" school. It has always had amazing students and some wonderful teachers, but the headmaster has been an impediment to the school being all that it could and should be. the headmaster fortunately will be leaving at the end of next school year and the worst teacher will no longer be in the classroom this coming year. The headmaster is notorious for never getting rid of the few very poor teachers, constantly being off campus to attend conference to see and be seen, rather than focusing on school leadership, gifted education, and knowing the teachers, students and families, and for instilling fear in anyone with a suggestion or concern. A new headmaster will have the opportunity to enhance the curriculum, hire the best teachers, encourage more individualization of the curriculum, and be a warm and friendly presence on campus motivating teachers, administrators, and parents. With those changes, Mirman School will be great. Exciting!"

    "Love the concept, hate the execution! The main emphasis at this school is discipline and class control! The administration is cold and only interested in protecting the teachers (some of whom should have retired years ago.) The teachers expect perfection and will slowly zap your child's spark for learning. There are a few special teachers in the mix but having already sent a gifted child through LAUSD, I have to say, the LAUSD teachers were more caring and much more generous with their time, especially with a kid who wants to learn. Don't be fooled by the smoke and mirrors!"

    "We entered at US1, as a middle school. It's not for everyone...but it's extraordinary for the right student. Highly competent, passionate teachers & creative programming challenge & inspire. The Art, Music, and Theater programs are top notch & the academics are simply unparalleled. If your child is bright, curious and self-motivated, they will soar, & will be supported in matriculation options ranging from LA's best private high schools to the finest east coast boarding schools, if that's your cup of tea. Schools nationwide are familiar with what it means to be a successful Mirman student, & pursue grads for admission accordingly. The school is a rare environment in LA; there is no private-school pretentiousness. Very high parent involvement by caring, intelligent parents (nannies aren't working the bake sales--the busy executives, entertainment professionals, doctors, lawyers, & scientists who send their kids here are). The kids who go to Mirman are there because they've learned & earned their way in & want to be learn, not because their parents are rich. The school also fosters a supportive, non-competitive community where kids are driven to best themselves, not others."

    "The "clustering" is great & very important & Lower School families have big enthusiasm & want to believe this is the perfect place, but here are some sobering facts from Upper School: Kids with Legacy did not get into the top tier schools last year, others with Legacy were Wait listed; others had to go to Public School bc they did not get into ANY schools. The ones who did not get in & were under US4, now realize that they have to tutor -like the others! They really thought there wasn't a math problem - their kid always makes A's & is a Math Mover. I know several success stories where the school never asked where the kids were going.so just how accurate is that Matriculation List? When you've spent about a quarter of a million dollars there and the school doesn't know your kid's name, your opinion may change. You assume the teachers have experience and credentials...Why won't they post it on their website like other schools? Some are not teachers at all! The basics are not taught, as all work is focused on Open House projects. So lots of tangent projects. You have to go to CTY, tutoring or get out to get the fundamentals (except for grammar). Good luck!"
