This is my son's second year at LACES. When we were excepted we felt as if we won the lotto. We are as happy today at LACES as we were the day we found out we got in. The parent groups are amazing, The Principal is very approachable and really cares for the students. I know my son is getting the best at LACES.

My child has been at LACES two years and it has been such an amazing experience. To have your child want to go to school and look forward to it (especially through the difficult middle school years) says a lot about the school. I too have no idea where the review is talking about with regard to bullying and rampant drug use. My son speaks openly with me about school and has not seen any such problems. And the teachers are wonderful, responsive, communicative and helpful, and teaching, not trying to impress. It saddens me that someone would post such a negative review about such an amazing school.

I love this school. My child goes there since 6th grade. Their math department is very strong, especially love Mrs. Hill, her approach to students and learning is amazing, and I know my child picked up very important skills in both math and overall studying habits from this teacher.

We LOVE this school! I'm not sure what the previous poster is referring to but in four years at LACES I have not seen any evidence of bullying or rampant drug use. The teachers are TEACHING, not worrying about being cool. I know my child is being well prepared for college in addition to learning in a safe, nurturing environment. He loves going to school every day!

We were really UNHAPPY with this school. Bullying abounds all over the campus and the teachers are trying so hard to be cool and liked by the students that they look the other way and rarely discipline or even comment on it in the classroom. The administration and counselors do nothing to help change a negative situation. The academics are mediocre with test scores being the only goal. Drugs are everywhere. The middle school kids are virtually ignored because admin focuses on the high school having high test scores so they can get high ranking. After 2 awful years at LACES, we took our student out as soon as we could switch to another school and the difference is astonishing! We know many parents and students who are not satisfied with LACES.

I graduated from LACES in the late 90's but I had two siblings graduate recently (2008, 2010). We all found LACES to be a supportive and diverse learning environment while preparing us for University classes. I personally loved being at LACES and was sad when I had to leave. The teachers there inspired me to become a high school teacher myself. I highly recommend LACES!

It has high standards and most kids go to college. It is incredibly diverse and everyone mixes happily. The parents are devoted to helping. My kids went on to UCLA from there. A wonderful school

I am an 8th grader at LACES and I will be entering high school next year. Because of it's family-like environment, middle school students and high school students interact often and get along well. Teachers at the school (as far as I know) are very supportive and always encourage students to work to the best of their ability, and never overwork nor neglect students. I'm loving it, and I can't wait for high school.


Posted May 5, 2010

I love this school. I have been bringing my children to this school for the past 13 years. 2 of them graduated several years ago and I have 1 still attending. The teachers and administrators care about the kids academic futures and they have a very high grad rate maybe 99.5% or something very close to it.

I am currently a senior at Laces and I can see why it is ranked one of the top in the nation. Many of the reviews criticizing Laces state that the teachers do not care about student progress. This has never been my experience. However, it is my belief that it is impossible to have a school without a single 'bad' teacher, so I am sure that Laces has a few. Laces has taught me to challange myself academically and socially and I am sure it has prepared me for college.

LACES is the best, everyone loves each other and everyone in class actually pays attention.There is no fooling around people actually want to learn and the teachers are outstanding, and teach the best they can.

Disappointment. Laces has a reputation for being one of the best in Lausd, but they're academics arent as good as you would hope.

My daughter is in eighth grade this year and has loved it every year. She can't wait to go from summer back to school....she counts off the days. We are very happy here. Thank you, LACES!

One of the very few public schools that offers education from 6th grade to 12th grade. Excellent teachers and staff that care for the student's education. Emphasizes college and further education. In my class alone, 99% of the class went on to college after graduating high school.

This is a high stardards school. Better than private school. Everybody knows each other by name. We are a big family, no racial problems. Its about studing and doing the best that they can. Its not about who is more popular is who has the best grade. Parents are very involved in school. We really need more fundings to the school.

Great school. Rigorous classes. Gifted students are not held back but challenged. My sixth grade daughter is very happy here. There are a lot of enrichment activities with a lot of choices in electives. What other incoming 7th grader can choose journalism and Spanish, Japanese, and Korean languages, just to name a few. I highly recommend this school.

LACES has undoubtedly had a reputation of one of the top schools in LAUSD. Over the past few years, however, I have witnessed the quality of the academic rigor in courses that aren't honors/AP deteriorate. With teacher layoffs and retirements, I'm concerned that our children's education will suffer.

My son is in 6th grade and he loves LACES. I have been blown away by the principal, Dr. Kim, who showed up on a Saturday afternoon to support 6th and 8th graders who competed in the Science Bowl at Cal State Los Angeles. She attends so many school related events. The teachers are incredibly commited to the students. The campus has a great vibe to it. The Sports Center is beautiful and the P.E. program allows the kids to swim, play tennis, basketball, and the like on a rotating schedule. The 'enriched' aspect allows the kids to take an additional elective and there are so many to choose from. It is truly a college prep school with 80 minute classes and a block schedule All in all, an excellent school and wonderful experience. My son is happy to go to school and LACES is why.

As a seventh grader at LACES I think the school is great although the sports program needs work( except basketball). The teachers are great, there's like ten peer helping and tutoring groups and there's an activity like lunch games to join in( anything from dance contests to relay races to ty die). LACES is a great school!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to test high school students' skills in English language arts and mathematics. The results for grade 10 students taking the test for the first time are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The CAHSEE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of California. Students must pass all parts of the CAHSEE in order to graduate from high school. If they do not pass it the first time, students have multiple opportunities to retake the test. The goal is for all students to pass both sections of the test.
