Throughout L.A. county, high-performing LAUSD, charter and magnet schools supported by Kristen Bell and producer Mark Gordon are outfitted with on-campus farms, iPads and Mandarin programs.
Many of L.A.’s entertainment-industry parents choose the public school for their young kids, even if they can afford private — and there are a wealth of options throughout the county, from neighborhood elementary schools to magnets and charters.
"My kids are biracial, so they have the opportunity to be at a school where a lot of other kids look like them," says CAA’s Nancy Jones, who has two sons there. "It’s a large school and has everything from a farm on the campus and a 4H club to a film club and a great music program." "Parental involvement at Roscomare is tremendous, and has played an integral role in funding the computer lab, music, art and theater," says Rene Jones, UTA’s global head of philanthropy.
Many industry-ites move to Laurel Canyon to attend the neighborhood’s Wonderland Avenue School . "It’s really special having the option to walk your children to their elementary school," says ICM agent Brad Schenck, who has a son in first grade there, adding that "LAUSD is so poorly funded that the parents at Wonderland raise around $750,000 each school year to personally fund music, art, P.E., gardening, library assistants and teachers’ aides.
