“We have a wonderful learning community of teachers, parents and students at a school that keeps getting better all the time. This is not an accident - the parents, teachers and principal have worked very hard to improve the quality of academics and enrich the learning experience. We were thrilled to be designated a California Distinguished School this year, but what also excites us are all the possibilities we see for this school - as a place where students can be immersed in academics, arts, and technology, in an exciting, fun, supportive environment. We are fortunate to have a new principal who can help lead the school in that direction, as well as parents fighting tooth and nail to provide the funding and enrichment the school needs to keep thriving. This school is the perfect fit for the family that wants a smaller, friendly school, and wants to be actively involved in their child's education. My son has been very happy here, and I enjoy all the families and kids I have come to know!”

“In the several years that my child has been at WEHOEL we have been apart of and watched improvements that a parent only dreams of for their child in a big city public school. Each year brings in more active parents, more engaging curriculum and in the last year a very energetic and proactive principal. This is exactly what we hoped when joined the school several years ago. I'm sure there will be even more good in our future.”

“I just love this place. My son is in kindergarten with Mrs. Marsh-Weiss. She's great with the kids...very warm, while still commanding their respect. I'm not sure how she keeps her patience and sense of humor being around 20 kindergartners all day, but she does a fantastic job. I also love all the kids in the class, as well as the parents I have met. I was a little nervous that all the 'involved' parents I read about in the reviews might have an elitist attitude. Absolutely not the case. They are so warm and welcoming and appreciate any time you can volunteer. The FOWHE group is really smart and amazingly dedicated. They are a big part of why I think this school works. The principal seems great and I love the office staff as well. Everyone involved with this school seems to have their hearts in the right place.”

“We love WEHO Elementary! My daughter is in 5th grade. We spent K-3rd at Rosewood and are SO glad we made the move to WEHO.It has a much better principal and is half the size. The teachers and Mr.Hum are amazing. My daughter moved up to second honors and then first honors at WEHO. She is comfortable there and really blossoming in the supportive environment.The arts prototype keeps them continually engaged in creative visual and performing arts too. Academics?Just look at the test scores and see how far above the average these kids are-it's no accident! Another big plus is the diverse student body.We are now on a quest to find a middle school of equal caliber. In her own words'I love it here!The best part is the friends I've made.I recommend this school for any kid that wants to have fun.'”

I do not want my child to see these things without me talking to her. Her grades have not been succeeding and I don't think she's being taught very well. The teachers are friendly and give updates, but I'm just not very happy.”

“I am very proud to be a WeHo parent but most proud of the parent/teacher involvement and the academic structure of this school. It is small enough where your child is not lost in the bunch yet big enough to create a tight knit community of all ethnic and socio economic backgrounds. My son loves it and the Principal is there at all times at your fingertips and committed to the children 110%. I am also very greatful for the group of parents who are committed on a daily basis to the school and it's acheivements. I am very lucky to have been accepted during open enrollment, my son is in 1st Grade now, very happy here and in his own words; 'loves being a WeHo Wizard!'”

“We can t say enough great things about WHE. Having researched public and private in the area, and pulling my son out of a private school where we were not entirely happy, WHE has lived up to all our expectations. The teachers are phenomenal, the principal entirely on the ball, and the parental involvement is strong and resourceful. If you are in the area, I strongly recommend touring the school and considering it, even if public school was not a thought for you before. Another little secret is the new pre-school; even though it is only a half day program, it is perfect for local families who need a half day program.”

“My son attends West Hollywood Elementary, he's in his second year. I love the school, I must admit if I lived in another county I'd still drive him to WeHo. I can't say enough good things about the school, it has an excellent prinical, Mr. Hum, fantastic teachers and a very real sense of care for the childrens future outcome.”

“My spouse and I were very concerned about LAUSD schools in general given the horror stories about a lack of funds, unmotivated teachers and staff and a curriculum aimed squarely at the average. What a great surprise WeHo Elementary has turned out to be! The principal, Mr. Hum, is very open to ideas and suggestions - it shocked me that he not only knew all the children by name but that he also knew their temperatments, strengths and weaknesses. The Kindergarten teachers are wonderfuly people - they aim to work with each child at his or her level and very genuine caring people. The parent's group (or booster club) Friends of West Hollywood Elementary is very active and enthusiastic and has managed to bring an amazing amount of resources to school in a short time. Great School - definitely worth a visit if you live in the area!!”

“West Hollywood Elementary is absolutely wonderful. The teachers care so much about our children and use a variety of differentiated instruction and project based learning. We have been extremely happy with our children's accomplishments. Being the small school that it is, West Hollywood is more like a family.”

“This is an outstanding little school look for it to become west hollywood s best kept secret! The teachers are good-natured, but firm. The classroom is focused on achievement in many areas as well as academics; as a result, the children receive respect & appreciation for good citizenship as well and good grades. The class size is small (1st grade aprox 19/21 students per class), so everyone gets attention and assistance if needed. Parents participate regularly and the principal seems to know every child on a first name basis. I cant believe we lucked-out and found this gem of a school.”

“I wouldn't have my son go to any other school. I love West Hollywood, Elementary. The principal is very involved and knows every single childs name and greets them each morning. The kindergarten teachers are fantastic, both stern but extremely loving. The Boys & Girls club is wonderful too!”

“In the last two years whe has increased their api over 80 points (44 points just in 2006), they were approved to be a center of advanced studies in math, the principle has completely focused her teachers on project-based learning, the after school care is free and enrichment classes are not only outstanding but extremely inexpensive (ex: $40 for 8 weeks of sculpture, drums, tai chi, etc., It's an arts prototype school offering music, drama and art, pe enrichment with focusfish, and best of all it's a small, charming school with fabulous teachers, great parents, a very active booster club, and last but not least it is thoroughly enjoying the community's new found attention since local families have returned the last couple of years. Super school that you can't help but to love!”

“This school used to have a bad rap but in the last 3 years it has gone through some major changes. I was seriously going to homeschool my daughter because I was not happy with my school choices, then I found out about this little gem. The school size is small (about 300 for K-6) which is very important to me, and is super clean. The new principal rocks and teachers (many of which are new) really do care about the students. Full day K, wonderful enrichment classes, and free after school care are just a few things I like. My daughter started K there and is now in 2nd grade. My son will be starting K next year and I only get more excited about this school and what it offers each year that goes by.”

“The school is great, Its test scores are getting better as the parent involvement grows. We turned down going to a private school and a charter school in favor of going here and are very happy we did. My daughter loves the school and as parents we are happy that we can help at the school and participate in our childs learning. We have outside groups come in for the extra classes that LAUSD doesn't provide, and the support of the community is growing steady. We got in through open enrollment and find that most of the families live near the school and this allows for alot of the kids to play together after school in the local park, and feel like a little community. This school is the one to watch, we are very happy with the school and the education it provides.”

“I stumbled upon this (little known) school while scrutinizing every LAUSD/private school in my area. (And some outside my area) My daughter attended first grade last year and we could not be happier. This is a very small friendly and school. Equipped with just about all the ingredients that children need to learn. And whatever it does not have -the parent participation in the FOWHE will be sure that we get it asap...We have hired a new P.E program and have an Arts prototype grant that gives the majority of the kids a taste of Art in the classroom...Not to mention free afterschool care! This year we have a lot of new teachers starting and my kindergartner is so excited about attendeing the school that her big sister felt instantly comfortable in! I feel great knowing the school will just get better and better!”

“Two years ago WHE had virtually no local families attending the school. Three local parents started encouraging other locals to return, and in 2 years the school went from having no Kinder class to 2 Kinder classrooms. Since the local families have returned we now have a 501C3 booster club, Arts Prototype (art, music, drama), FocusFish Physical Education Program (offering international dance, hip hop, karate and other untraditional & traditional non-competive sports), Screen Writers Guild 5th-grade screen play program, Wizard of Art Volunteer Arts Program, clarinet classes, Hobby day 1x/month, FREE after school enrichment program, a flourishing vegetable gardens, Open Enrollment, and we have added 6th grade making WHE one of the only K-6 schools in the area. While we are constantly adding new programs we are thrilled at our progress in just two years and look forward to watching our school grow! Visit and see what we are all about!”
