Wilton Place Elementary School

So far so good these two years my son has attended. The only problem that kind of bothers me is the way the school dismisses their students. Opening the gate 4-​feet wide and depending on your child’s eyesight determine if they recognize you from the sea of eager parents some running over your toes with their bulky strollers.
I do love Wilton Place’s dual language class offered in Spanish and Korean, not many schools offer that. They also have days kids exercise before going to class. In the end this school is good overall.

Just a thought while driving by this school this morning:
I went to this school once upon a time. I’m reviewing it for awesome edumacation I received from here which made me into the man I am today. 95% of the teachers were korean, vice principal was indian and the head principal was korean. This is where I learned to eat kimchi and learned to play hand ball which is called wall ball today. I forgot my first grade teacher’s name but my second grade teacher was Mr. Lee. He was bald with glasses and very leaned back. If I think about it, I think my first grade teacher’s name was Ms. Lee. Lol!
I also remember the food here. It was like a small tray of tortilla folded into a tiny container with melted cheese. I know some of you remember this! Remember that garbage can we had to pour the leftover milk into? I wonder what we did with that «recycled» milk…

The school has excellent teachers. At least I can speak for the ones my children have had. The fact that the school is also one of the few and I think the only in the area to have a dual language program for Spanish and Korean is a plus. Our children will always benefit from being bilingual. They always have a fall festival full of fun activities for the kids and the patents can get involved as well. All proceeds are for the school. The principal is a wonderful woman who is always outthere and involved not tucked away in the office like other principals do. I’m not in the PTA so I can’t speak on that but the school seems well organized. What I don’t like is how crazy the parents get sometimes at the gate when it’s time to pick up our children. And at times it seems like the kids are the ones civilized and not the crowd of parents And why do they think they can double park and its ok??? Very frustrating! Park, get off and walk! It’s not that difficult.
They have after school time for the kids, and LA’s BEST. Mrs. Johnson aka «COACH» is great w the kids, thank god for her since she always spends time after school w the kids.

I’m sure the school isnt bad but the parents that come here to drop off and/​or pick up their chldren have no manners!

I remember when i first stepped into this school way back in the days! I transferred here in the second grade thinking it was going to be a bad school. It really wasnt at all.
The community and involvements this school has been through are well known. Because of this school, I got my first scholarship in the fifth grade and i graduated with honors being the top student in the school. I really learned alot, and this school was and still is very clean. Well organized and the teachers and staff are very well educated and prepared for anything. I recommend this school to any parent that is looking for the best education for their child. Its in a very safe community. Cameras are all over the school for extra securement.
