“Ivanhoe has great staff, teachers, parent participation, and great facilitites! It makes a difference when the school your child goes to actually feels and looks like a place to nurture hungry minds. The teachers are professional and treat their students with respect. The administration makes a point to get to know the families they serve. And parents are recognized as vital partners in our children's education. Plus the academics are pretty darn good, too!”

“Ivanhoe is an oasis. The staff work together well and the administrator is supportive which means the children benefit. The student population is extremely diverse, both ethnically and economically. The surrounding community of Silver Lake provides great support to its neighborhood school. The academics are tough, yet creative. The school has excellent arts instruction and programs. The level of parent involvement is high. The parents raise money to support extra music teacher days, arts programs, p.e. teachers, and other support for the educational program. Both my children had good experiences at Ivanhoe.”

“Ivanhoe is unusual in that it offers a School for Advanced Studies program that is included in the regular classrooms. The school follows the usual LAUSD format of Open Court reading, and is fairly academically driven, with lots of worksheets given. The teacher quality varies. The active PTA raises money for physical education and library books, and hosts monthly events throughout the year, such as silent auctions, jogathons, film nights. Art classes are offered as well as music. The after school program, Camelot, is located on the grounds and is instrumental in helping the school.They provide an exciting and varied program of activities.”

And parents work very closely with the teachers and administration to create a positive learning experience for the children.”

“Ivanhoe Elementary is one of THE BEST public elementary schools in the L.A. area. The level of parental involvement at this school is almost unparalleled, I believe. My daughter's 1st/2nd grade class had at least 2 volunteers every day which is awesome since it allowed their teacher to do so much more with the kids. All of the teachers that my daughter had for the last 2 years were excellent; I think a special mention should be made for Mr. Santiesteban (the kids call him Sr. Carlos). The amount of material and learning this man got into a single class day while maintaining complete control of the classroom was amazing; and this was with a 1/2 day kinder class! The music teacher, Mr. Bockelman was also of my child's favorites. She looked forward to going music class every week.Each grade goes to P.E., Music, & Art on a rotating 6week schedule.”
