Torrance Unified School District

if I could give it a negative or zero I would they are terrible and worthless. They don't care about their staff or children that attend they are all fake and give fake hope to people and families that need a positive support

Worst school district ever! I wasted an hr and a half and 2 damn days to answer 3 questions and sign 1 form. Was late to work got written up for being late although I told them over and over and over I have 1 hr for lunch and had to come back cause they couldn't tell me the aper work yest I brought wasn't good enough! They move at the speed of molasses and are rude to me and other parents. And simply don't care they WE as parents have jobs to get to. And yest when I came the lady in the middle of helping me just left. I mean, LEFT for the day and didn't tell me. And I waited and waited and then they said, "oh she left you'll have to come back tomorrow" although I was there 1 hr before they close. Lmao...they are a joke of a school but due to my daughters IEP speech needs I'm at their mercy but HATE this school. And process. They need to hire more people clearly to help parents, not talk in the back and make coffee while we wait

School Year 2010-2011

We moved in April and I have been trying to take care of this with your office since May. Your office was very harsh with me telling me my proof of residency I was able to print out online was not good enough- not letting me finish my sentences and discuss it and try to understand- but just saying "no" over and over again. I left that office crying. That is not a feeling I expect when dealing with a school office.


Over the summer, I checked your website daily hoping for some information about when you would open and what I needed to do. To this day the website still says "Interdistrict Permit for Torrance residents- Information sheet- Coming soon!". I emailed you on Friday, August 13th to find out what date your office opened and you responded on Tuesday, August 17th and told me that you were open from M-F from 8:30-4:30 being closed for lunch from 2-3. I waited for my last piece of appropriate proof to come in the mail, and I showed up with my children on the morning of Friday, August 20th. There was a note on the door saying you were closed.


On Monday August 23rd I brought all of my paperwork to you, which you still tried to tell me was not acceptable even though your office told me exactly what to bring, and you told me you needed to process my application and I could not leave with my release letter. I tried to discuss with you what my options were and you finally looked at me and offered to pull mine out and get it done ASAP. You told me I could pick up a copy so I could hand it over to RBUSD. I followed up with you the next day and you responded as if you did not know me with a blanket answer that the permits would be mailed out and I could not pick them up and you could not fax them. I have not received anything in the mail as of yet and I have missed registration for both kids on Wednesday August 25th.


Today is Monday August 30th, and the kids start school tomorrow. They will be late to class because we missed registration and have to register at 9AM tomorrow. I cannot register them without the permits in my hand, and the problem is I only received a permit for ONE child from you in the mail on Friday and the RB school office received NOTHING.


Later on August 30th: I showed up today to pick up a permit for my other son and you were so rude and didn't smile and didn't apologize for me not receiving it. You snapped your gum and mumbled something to your co-worker about the apartment number missing. You handed me the copy and I said Thank You and you said "uh huh".


I have sent another email since asking- just so I could be properly prepared- the procedure for renewals. I got NO RESPONSE.


I do not appreciate being treated like this and I personally think you should be doing a much better job. I do not agree with you working for the benefit of my children and think you should think about the way you treat people as well as represent the Torrance Unified School District.

This district needs an up grade. My children attended casimir middle school the principle is so judgmental. I feel as though her assistant principals do all the work and she just roams around with this face like she hates her job. In any incident they really don't look into the truth and it is so un fair. I wish the district would do a parent survey so many parents are very disturbed by what they hear and see. Bullying is a big problem amongst the teachers and students with very little resolution. I know personally and have several patients who were former teachers at Casmir and they all have stated they left or retired early because they could not handle the principle Mrs. Holmes. I wish the district would do what is in the best interest for our children and not what's convenient.

I enrolled my kid and I in a parenting class, at the Levy center, the class is so overcrowded theres never room on tables for artwork or lunch time, we gotta do artwork standing up, ridiculous i dont know why they dont set a limit. Cant wait for it to be over since i cant get a refund
