“I have all 3 of my kids in Towers and had to go through open enrollment & receive approval as I do not live in Towers' boundaries. Towers has an excellent reputation and is smaller than the other elementary schools in West Torrance! I have been involved with this school for 5 years now and the teachers and staff are the best you could hope for! I like the new principal because he is open to new activities, interactive & approachable! The academics here have high standards. If your child struggles (as one of my sons did), there is much support such as an on- campus learning center. The key is to involve yourself with your child's teacher and ask for progress reports and classroom material. There's a close knit feel of the school community despite PTA problems & high fundraising. Just be selective in your participation & it's good!”

“I am a parent at Towers and I love the teachers and staff, the Principal is new and is hands on with the students. He has many wonderful ideas and is open to listening to parents and teachers. The PTA went through a hard time but at the end of the day they pulled through and are doing a great job to ensure our kids get the best. They are really trying to open the school up to new volunteers and ideas. Being critical doesn't help and I know I have been guilty of that in the past. All in all it is a great school.”

“Towers has wonderful teachers and high standards. There are lots of activities for the kids and the playground equipment is good. Unfortunately, the PTA moms are very aggressive and dominating. Even with the PTA being reformed, it's bad.”

“This is not our home school for my Kindergarden child but we got in on permit and now it will be our home school. I chose this school because of the reputation it had in Torrance. I am not sure that it lives up to it. The new principal is just Ok, but the front office staff is great. The parent participation is great but there is way to much drama that goes on in the PTA so it makes me want to stay away from that part even though I would love to be more involved.”

“Overall I have been happy with our experience so far at Towers. My child's teacher seems to genuinely care about her students and their success. That being said, the district's policy of mainstreaming kids by setting a 'babysitter' aka 'classroom assistant' for those kids with special needs draws too much attention from the teacher that could and should be devoted to the whole of the classroom. Parent participation is great, however the constant begging and fundraising gets old quick.”

“While this school district has a good reputation and Towers is considered good by public school standards, we were not happy with our family's experience and consequently pulled our children from public education. Quality academics are available without personal attention. Student teacher ratios are high so if your child misses a concept there is no help until it appears as gap in their education by at least 2 years as there is little funding available for tutors and definately not the school for you if your child needs special ed. Staff in confortable making statements like 'some students succeed in school and some never will' frightening, don't you think? Children are just statistics and it is evident that curriculum is taught to the Standardized tests, don't be fooled by their national rankings.”
