Chapman Elementary School

The students here are ghetto. And I was raised in Gardena so that’s saying a lot
My son just started 4^th grade in the middle of the semester. I had really high hopes for this school after hearing how good the school is.
So far, I’m not impressed. When enrolling him the staff wasn’t too friendly to me. I had to stop and literally take a deep breath because I was about to lose my cool.
My son hates the after-​school program. There’s two programs. One is more structured and the other is isn’t structured at all. You dont even have to sign the child out, you can just take off with them. Wonderful. The youngsters who run the program are ghetto too. Im waiting for a call back from the school right now to find out why the lunch lady didnt give my son his change back after he paid for his lunch yesterday.
I’m about to lose my sh*t with this school.

My two children attended this school all the way through their elementary years, very, very good school. These teachers really put an effort into the development of our future workforce. I was very impressed when they incorporated special needs children into «Mayday Playday. Good job Chapman!

This is a California Distinguished School for at least the second time in recent years as April, 2012.
