Very useful locations. Overall I think the school is vital to LA and there are many kids who would benefit from this type of homeschooling. My son has an IEP and had been out of school for a semester for various reasons so was nervous to get back into the rhythm of learning. The Tutor in charge of our local facility seemed very friendly and understanding but complained bitterly she had way too many students. She also claimed to have training with kids with special ed needs etc. My son was set his first weeks work, misunderstood it so didnt complete the work correctly. She ripped into him the following Thursday and had it not been for the Special Ed teachers aide from LAUSD my son would have walked. I had a meeting with her and she stated if he cannot do the work he should not be homeschooling etc. My son decided to tough it out and now they all seem to be doing OK. They are clearly overwhelmed with students and the tutors over stretched.

The BEST school I have ever attended.. As a past student of this school, BEFORE I enrolled here, I dealt with bullying and I was sick enough that it had caused me to go in and out of school to the hospital or serious enough to go to the E.R.. From elementary - high school, I suffered a great deal of depression and had continuous thoughts of suicide since the early age of 8, I had been repeatedly tyrannized by my teachers, hitting me and throwing textbooks at me and calling me scum, advising me to kill myself, then I'd be ostracized by students. In middle school, I had food and trash thrown at me, my pants pulled down during P.E.(I am also a female), and the staff doing nothing to help me. I felt worthless and attempted suicide many times. Soon, I enrolled onto high school and although I wasn't bullied, I was the target of terrible rumors. So I transferred to this school.This paradise. My teachers and counselors were gentle and kind. I experienced one on one instructing and upon hearing news of my attempts at suicide, the principal had me see a therapist at their expense. I had never thought such kindness existed. So say what you like, this school is a blessing. It saved my life.

I would only recommend this school as a last resort. My son and daughter went to the Performing Arts Academy extension and it was the worst academic experience of their life. The teachers were not qualified for the subjects they were teaching, were disorganized, and my children did not learn. The teachers were constantly changing which teachers taught which classes. The main office had no communication with the extension and they seemed to make things up as they went along. My son was asked to tutor other students in Algebra because his Algebra teacher was an art major and did not understand math. I wound up teaching most of the Algebra to my son. There are many other options out there for homeschooling and this is not one that I would recommend.

City of Angels is the best thing that could have ever happened for my oldest daughter who, as of 9th grade could hardly multiply. Within the first year of City of Angeles she managed to get an a in geometry and gotten a's and b's throughout (3.5). She'll be graduating soon as will her sister, who opted to go to City of Angels on her own, she was a straight A student early on(4.0). There is alot of work and although they have the 1 hour weekly teacher meeting, the kids have to be well organized, self starters & have a heck of alot of determination. Neither of my kids have ever had disipline problems, neither have any kids, so this was not the case here. Weve been with City of Angele since 2005...Its a great school.

This school is amazing. My daughter was a drop out candidate at El Camino and I resisted enrolling her in City of Angels. She now has 3.8 grade average and has recieved an award for overall academic achievment. This school is wonderful for kids who are able to do the work without the distractions of a structured school environment.

I really appreciate the City of Angles as a parent because it gives you a choice and an alternative option. Some see it as the school for children who can't keep up or have problems. But, I must say that it also works well for those children who work at a quicker pace, are gifted and like to get right down to business. My son loves it! He's able to work on his acting and music while maintaining his school work. He is also working twice as fast and getting better grades because of the 1 on 1 ratio with the teacher. Best of all...their as tutor available for questions regarding math and that s also on a 1 on 1 basis as well. I couldn't have afforded him this type of personal attention in any other way. I love it.

This is an excellent program. However, it's not for everyone. I think it's better than the public school system because we students at City of Angels get one-on-one time with our teachers. I've done well in this program. Thanks for this awesome program!

This is a very good school! It teaches you responsibilty. The teacher's actually care if you learn something. This is one of the best programs in America!

This is a very good school. Depending on the branch and teacher you have, and of course the student, the school will vary. I was lucky enough to get a great teacher who stuck with me and helped me graduate. The student learns responsibility and how to really take control of their life. Also, since your doing your school work at home, you can finish early, and even have enough time to have a part time job. I learned a lot about life and how to deal with it. Great Program!

City Of Angel School is a great school for those who love to learn on their own. I went there for a year and I progressed a lot. I wasn't doing very well in my other school because I didn't like being taught. I didn't like the way the explained it and what this school did was give me the opportunity to learn on my own pace. The teachers do understand the situations that kids go through and are very well mentors. I warn you that you if you have kids that leave everything to the last minute. This is not the place for them, they will be behind and won't be able to catch up.

The school is a very good academic school even though other students should stay in regular school because it gives you a opportunity to get involved with other people and that is something that all people have to do when working even if it is only knowing how to avoid conflicts with co-workers. As a student there I do have an opportunity to get double the homework done and keep a job at the school. The majority of students that go have had some problem at regular school and it is good to get out of the stuffiness of the teachers having a bad day because these teachers have about a hundred students compared to 50 in every class to deal with.

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.

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.

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.

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.
