Kester Elementary/Kester Magnet (Gifted) was left off the list, probably because greatschools.net lists it in Van Nuys? Not on your Van Nuys list, tho’.
My twins are in 2nd grade here— one in Magnet, the other in Home School (with some special needs). We’re pretty happy w/the school, though sometimes I have pangs of guilt (well, I am Jewish) that my one twin in Magnet gets “enriched” activities like woodworking, learning recorder, performing in the Magnet musical, and several field trips, while her twin gets little exposure to these activities (1 field trip per year, no musical instrument, less art, no woodworking, no drama). The “enrichment” should be for ALL, not just the kids deemed “gifted” (a subjective appelation, since kids entering from K and 1st are not tested for high ability!).
