"What I like most about Hancock Park School were the friends I made and my teachers. My teachers are really nice and always teaching us new, exciting things. We went on a lot a field trips like going to Inner City Arts to play instruments like drums, used Virtual Reality, and made robots with wood, toothpicks and foam. On Ocean Day, we went to the beach to help clean and pick up trash."
-Sophia, 3rd grader
"There are a lot of people here who are kind, so it’s easy to make friends. The teachers here are supportive and kind. The teachers always teach us new things like writing and introducing us to different math and science topics. I liked learning about animal adaptations."
-Hannah, 3rd grader
