Luther Steve School

I agree… teachers, principal, secretary and all staff are always helpful… it’s open door policy… they always go above and beyond to help you… small school but rich in value…

Without a doubt, one of the best schools here in the La Palma/​Cypress area. Of course, I could sound biased because our kids go here and my wife attended the same school years ago. *Cough Cough* I mean, a few years ago. :)
After being here a few years now, I can tell you this school is really well run. There are a lot of components to this success. Let me explain.
Jacki Teschke the principle is a hands on mentor here. She knows every kids name (Amazing!) and of course always recognize parents and makes the time to say Hi. She has always been there after school with the kids from McTeacher’s night, MovieNight, CareerNight, Bingo… I can’t remember them all but she was always there at Every. Single. Event. She makes the best Cotton Candy hands down!
In addition, the success of this school follows from the secretary (who is always available), to the staff, to the Janitors (Martin and Rosa), the awesome PTA staff that raises the money to these great events and buses (Thank you), to the crossing guards (Frank), and of course the teachers here. They are caring and nurturing. I haven’t been exposed to some of the upper grades but I can tell you:
Ms. Pruitt-​Great TK teacher, organized and always at the school after hours
Ms. Moore-​Loves and nurtures kids and brings out their full potential
Ms. Alkers-​Creative and exposes the kids to multiple learning arenas
Ms. Weiss-​Full balance teacher with PE/​Learning/​Collaborate with other teachers.
Ms. Robledo-​Always finding ways to expose more ways to teach the kids
We did originally wanted the kids to attend Landell since we live right in the middle. However, a traditional schedule was better for us and consequently, the school is an excellent choice for our kids. Just wanted to spread the word!
