Rating 4.32 out of 5 68 reviews
Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District is a community in which people from all diverse backgrounds enjoy community events. Whether this be the annual Cinco De Mayo festival at Will Rogers Learning Community or the Jog-A-Thon school fundraiser. This community is great but not perfect. As of recently, safety within this school district has been questionable. Such as the violent attack on a student on the first day of school at Santa Monica High School. Additionally, the countless threats this school faces.
We had a great experience from Kinder through high school for both of our boys; one a third year college student and the other, currently a senior at SAMOHI. Our oldest son got into his top college choice and was well prepared thanks to the teachers, counselors, administrators and peers from SAMOHI.
It is extremely important as a parent to stay involved and be able to help your students navigate the system as it can be overwhelming and at times, political. Even through the pandemic, kudos to all for making the best of it!

I have very fond memories about the district, the events they had, the friends I made and many more. I enjoyed the festivities like cinco de mayo or how the teacher would throw something special like a winter party or do fun activities just before winter break. I would like to add though that some of the school district's staff have been fairly rude though not all of them to the students.
