Among the schools that call the neighborhood of Encinco, California home is Encino Charter Elementary School. This charter school serves approximately 550 students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
Dating back to its establishment in 1923, Encino Charter Elementary has been serving the San Fernando Valley for almost a century! Today, the school is run by principal Jennifer Haws.
Encino Charter Elementary School has several programs in place to ensure students are challenged and nurtured academically, including the Accelerated Reader program, The School for Advanced Studies, and Gifted and Talented Education. The school’s facilities, such the computer lab and the library, which was renovated just over a decade ago, also help students to grow academically and technologically.
After school classes with six week sessions are also available to help students ignite different passions and build special skills. Sewing, Robotics, Lego Stop Motion, and even Pokemon Club are a few examples of the wonderful programs students can participate in.
While academics are certainly prioritized at Encino Charter Elementary School, the school also helps students to grow their character through the CHARACTER COUNTS! principals and the six pillars of character.
While there are certainly some differences from the days in which the school first opened its doors almost a century ago, Encino Charter Elementary continues to provide its students with an excellent education built on rigorous and character building lessons.

I am current parent at Encino Charter Elementary. I also have a child who culminated fifth grade last year. This school is a gem. The ETEAM and parents at this school work hard to provide teachers and programs the district can’t provide. We have our own PE, computer lab, science, and art teachers. E...

A classmate told my son yesterday grave antisemitic statements that I won’t dare to repeat in a public forum. It was an egregious display of intolerance. After 11 phone calls, 5 emails, and in-person attempts to address the matter with the principal, she still hasn’t bothered to pay this matter any...

I actually attended this school 1962-1968. It was pretty much great then, and I remember every teachers' name: Haag (K), Cusanovitch/Weiss (1), Holloway (2), Reese (3), Cain (4), Hawkins (5), Palmer (6 - -it was K-6 back then), Farnam (P). And sure, this review is ridiculously out of date. But wait...
