What makes Third Street School so phenomenal?
1. Our extraordinary Principal, Dr. Suzie Oh, whose dedication and devotion to the children, teachers and parents, keeps the school community strong, focused and bonded together. Dr. Oh has received numerous awards and professional recognition for her talents and is one of the most highly sought after administrators within the school district.
2. Our incredible Teachers. Simply put, Third Street has amazing teachers who care.
3. Our involved parent body, including the PTA and Friends of Third, the non-profit fundraising arm that raises funds to provide curricular enhancement programs for all students at Third Street School. Through the generous contribution of time and money that our families, friends, co-workers and corporate sponsors give to the school, these groups help fund the arts and music education programs, technology lab, library, field trips, School Beautiful projects and more. In recent years, these parent groups have also renovated the Library, Auditorium, Technology Lab and Playground. The parents at Third Street believe that government cuts should not stop the school from providing the children with the best educational experience possible -- all without paying tens of thousands of dollars in private school tuition!
4. Achievement - THE 900+ CLUB: Under Dr. Oh's leadership, and aided by supplemental resources provided by Friends of Third, the school in recent years has raised its API (Academic Performance Index) score from 898 to 938! Only 4% of the approximately 500 elementary schools in the LAUSD have achieved the honorable distinction of an API score of 900+.
