Bixby Florence Elementary School

Initially we considered the school of choice route to get our child in a different district and different school for kindergarten. I’m so glad we gave Bixby a chance and a try. We are very happy with our child’s kindergarten experience as a whole.
Our child has Mrs. Downey for his kindergarten teacher. She is professional and exemplary as a teacher. Our child has learned so much, at a pace that he is comfortable with.
The PTA is very active and there are lots of parent volunteers. The principal is approachable. School spirit is embodied within pillars of personal character.
The school grounds are safe and clean.
The student-​teacher ratio is about 23:1, which is par for much of Long Beach public schools (hence the 4 stars vs. 5).
If you are in this district, you can be confident that your child will get a great education in a safe environment. If you are considering transferring to Bixby via school of choice, you’ve made an excellent decision.

School is in a very good area. Teacher staff very friendly and professional. My daughter went to only leap program there but I notice teachers very friendly and professionals.
