Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-11-06 “My son is in Ms. Pitzer's 2nd grade class; he has attended Lupin Hill since he started school and he loves it there. The teachers are awesome and the after school program at Camp Calabasas is great.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-06-22 “Ms. Grady has been a light to our school. She truly cares about the kids and the school and is not afraid to make the tough calls. I personally feel much safer knowing that she is running the school now. She is a true leader and educator. Thank-you for what you do Ms. Grady and I hope you stay for a long time.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-06-17 “I am a parent and since the change of Principal the school has imporved greatly. Love Mrs. Grady she is wonderful.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-06-15 “Great school with caring teachers, supportive administration, and 'extras.' The major 'extra,' setting this school apart from all others, is the music teacher (violin classes, musicals, etc.) A real plus, gien public school budget constraints.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-06-07 “My kids have all been at Lupin and from the minute we walked in we were impessed with the spirit of community in such a big school. Besides getting a solid education, my kids have come away with great memories. We love the carnival and the musicals the kids put on. The staff is great too, they really care about the kids.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-04-23 “Grady has single handedly ruined this school. Teachers are seem down and the campus itself looks horrible. Planters with no plants. The new principal hides in her office and never, ever attends PFC functions, musical performances, or anything of the like. One would not know if Grady was on site or on vacation, she is always vacant. It's a shame, this was a special place. I hope the staff can overcome the huge hole dug by the new lack of administration. Time to call it quits Grady.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-01-03 “I am so excited about our new principal, Mrs.Grady! She is so organized and all plans are thought out. I just eyed the new parking lot. Dropping our kids off will be a lot safer and easier for parents.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-11-22 “Leadership begins at the top and Mrs. Grady is a brilliant leader! She guides and mentors teachers, parents and, most of all, children.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-09-12 “I hate it. I am seriously concerned about safety. Why are we being reactive rather than proactive when it comes to small children?” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-03-16 “The kids are overworked, overwhelmed and with absolutely no creative outlet at Lupin Hill Elementary. The classes are over-crowded, therefore children receive virtually no personal attention and there is little consideration for individual needs. After six years experience (K-5), I would not recommend this school for anything beyond Kindergarten.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-11-20 “Teachers at Lupin Hill are very responsive and skilled at educating students. High academic standards and consistent homework reinforces skills learned in class. Highly recommend.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-10-09 “There is zero tolerance for bullies. An accredited anti-bully program is in place and successful. Your wonderful president and governor are the two responsible for high stakes testing, standards based, teach to the test curriculum. But creativity and logical thinking are things that should be taught and instilled at home. Good lunches are made at home using whole grains, fruits, vegetables, non-hydrogenated oils, and 100% organic ingredients. School lunches are no better than fast food. Current research states: 'As to what are the most important influences on self-esteem, the simple answer is: parents.' Moral is high among teachers, staff, and students. Name one school with good traffic.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2006-07-14 “Lot's of bully behavior both from administration as well as students. Kids pushed to the brink of ruin without any free time to think outside the box or be creative. Bad lunches. Children have low, low self esteem. There is a over all lack of moral from the top! Heavy car traffic.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-06-15 “Parents pay extra to have a music, art and computer teacher. Not a lot of parents participate. The parents that do volunteer provide the PFC with wonderful help.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-04-06 “Very good parent involvement.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-02-09 “This school is a you get what you give school. Alot of parents actually are employed at this school. The music department is woderful as is the teacher. No sports, other than P.E. Afterschool enrichement classes available for a fee.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-01-24 “We love this school. Our children look forward to coming to school every day. The teachers are supportive, there is an active parent group, you couldn't go wrong with Lupin Hill!” Posted By: staff Quality Score: 4 2005-11-07 “Wonderful school in a great school district. Dedicated staff. More diverse student population than some other schools in the district.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-10-21 “Lupin Hill is wonderful. The teachers are all highly qualified and caring. The administrators are great leaders and provide consistency for the entire school. They hold themselves and others to a high standard of achievement. The community is incredibly supportive and there are many parents who contribute their time to assist teachers and enable them to use their professional knowledge to its fullest. The PFC is committed to supporting the music, art, computers and other extracurriculars that would otherwise be lost due to lack of state funding.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-08-22 “I feel very fortunate to have extra activities like the arts, music and P.E. The parent involvement is pretty good.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-08-22 “I am greatful to have extracurricular classes.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2005-06-14 “The main office was very helpful when I called asking how I can enroll my child.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-04-06 “Challenging program in language arts. Math is somewhat behind.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2004-05-18 “My two children spent two years at Lupin Hill. They experienced poor teachers who used only whole group instructional methods, who could not individualize work, even in the lower elementary classes limited to 20 kids. Class sizes were 30-35 for the fourth and fifth grades. The curriculum was textbook-based and test driven. Although they claimed to have a GATE program, it consisted of one class offered as an afterthought after school for 8 weeks. Although science in the 4th and 5th grades is taught by district science specialists, it consists of 'having us read about experiments and then fill out worksheets about them,' as my daughter described it. There was no environmental education, except for a two-week program at the end of 5th grade for which the parents had to pay. The parents also have to raise money for music and art instruction or there isn't any.”
