Pasadena Schools

I'm searching for a K-6 school for my kids. I've been told to avoid Friends Western School due to an ongoing cover-up and their high turnover rate (both students & faculty). So far, six parents have pointed me to a  resignation letter written by a former board member posted online. Any solid ideas on the specific sources and degree of the turmoil? I've also been warned many school review websites are censored (most critical reviews end up removed by editors) and are little more than extensions of marketing department initiatives. My husband and I would appreciate more objective info outside the typical official channels since the school seems nice on paper, but there are so many warning signs popping up. What's your opinion?
