Huntington Park Senior High School

I am a former student from this school. I will say that definitely it is not the best but also it is not the worst in L.A. I went to UCLA right after high school and I am not pursuing my masters degree at USC. I can say that I had great teachers and not so great ones. Sadly the "not so great" ones were in the "regular" classes. Like other schools in this area unless you are "gifted" and in honors or AP classes your education wont be the best it can be. I myself used to be an ESL student and ESL students get even the shorter end of the stick. Even if I had the best education possible from this school thanks to honors and AP classes I was still not as prepared as I should have for higher education. There are definitely teachers that should not be teaching and should perhaps explore a different profession. However, there are also teachers who are great and will really make a difference. The school can provide a great education if you are in the more advanced classes. I think if teachers expected more and had some hope in their students it would really make a different.

this achool is very bad too many students too little teachers very desor ganised.. i hate it . worst year of my life

There are others schools much more competitive than this one. They show more determination and enthusiasm when it comes to teaching, extra curricular activities and overall discipline. Hopefully they will improve on this some time soon.

This school is not good at all, maybe you will get one good teacher, but many of them do not know how to teach. there the teachers who just make you do work from the book. I came from a different school ( Colton High School ) and that school was way better.

Awesome school great academic standards

I am proud to say that I am part of the staff of HPHS. It is one of the best experineces i've had in my life. The students are wonderful and many of the teachers are excellent. HPHS is not different from other schools; it has its problems, but what school doesn't. The only downfall of the school is the administration. They are not supportive of the faculty and staff.

I don t think Huntington Park Highschool is such a good school. It does have good extraculicular activities that can help a student such as the HSA and the police academy but it also has ver bad teachers. Also the saftey it s not that good because many of the officers in the school are not in a good physical shape and is very hard for them to catch someone that has caused something bad to the school.
