Communication is extremely high, teachers really care about the students. Hands down the best elementary school Ive seen. My son is on an IEP and the meeting was well prepared for, everyone wanted to see him succeed, and they went above to ensure we could keep him on track even though we were transferring soon.

The teachers and principal really care about kids. They get to know their students and build relationships with them. I love all of the positive programs that they have: Student of the Week, PRIDE Awards, Class Dojo. My daughter has had a really great experience in 4th and 5th grade. I can't wait for her to be a 6th grader there next year.

Awful. Do not send your child here. The teachers and staff turn a blind eye to bullying.

Harper McCaughan is an outstanding school with excellent teachers and administrators. My daughter attended 4-6 grades and had an excellent academic and social experience. Teachers are kind, caring, talented, friendly, and professional. We moved to Long Beach for the outstanding school district and LBSD has been exceptional.
