Eagle Rock High School

Terrible school, don't let these LAUSD faculty & Teachers fool you when they talk the school up, it is a disaster there, Teachers are always absent, Classes are 30+ students, the system the have set up with their teachers teaching the middle schoolers & also the high schoolers seems to have them flustered and overworked. Currently looking for a charter school as a alternative or maybe a move out of the district.

This school has a highly commendable teaching staff and some very supportive administrators/counselors/coordinators especially for those students who are serious with their studies and academic goals. A large school comes with a broad range of kids with varying abilities, hence the mediocre test scores. Overall, they have managed to maintain standards in spite of challenging budget constraints.

Eagle Rock High School is now an International Baccaulaureate World Middle Years School Certified for 7-10. We were certified this past May, 2011. This means every student will be world/college ready students. Our gifted/highly gifted magnet program is now a 7-12th grade with class of 2014 being the first graduating class. We will apply for the IB Diploma program this year....we are well on our way to be the great school our community deserves!

Used to be a great school but LAUSD has really compromised it by ballooning the size in enrollment. Unbelievable in that Eagle Rock has over three thousand students in an area that doesn't carry as many students from the local elementary schools. The community needs to get more involved and begin to put more pressure on the administrators to let them know that we are stake holders too. Parent meetings should be held at later hours to accomodate them.

Eagle Rock is a good school on it's way to becoming a great school, through the dedication of faculty, staff, parents, and students it is on it's way to bein an IB school next Fall. Great thing ahead for ERHS!

I went to this school for 6 years, attending both Jr. and Sr. High, and I had a good experience. I can't say the same for my colleagues in regular classes, but as long as your kids stay in the honors/AP classes then they'll be fine. Like all things in life you get what you put in and this school is no different. Tremendous faculty in teachers like Mr. Lord for Biology, Beaty for History, the list goes on if your child seeks them. If you want to go to a good college then be sure to talk to Mr. Williams early and often throughout you're stay. The area can be a bit rough, especially at night, but your kids shouldn't be here late anyways. Also Occidental College is a great liberal arts private school over the hill and often shares resources as well as scholarships with its neighbor.

I am the parent of a new incoming seventh grader. I must admit I was very apprehensive about my quiet and scholarly daughter attending the school. I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the instruction, the quality of most teachers, and most of all just how much my daughter loves it. Great place!

I graduated from this school last June and even though I only spent my last two years of high school here, it's definitely a good school. Not the best since it needs improvement in some areas but overall, it's a great school :) I loved it here and the students were just really cool. The classes were pretty good as well, since ERHS really does care about its scores. Proud to be an Eagle ! :)

I love ERHS for a lot of reasons. First off, even though ERHS has a junior and senior high, it's my first year here (9th grader from another school), and I just enjoyed it, I guess. I'm in the magnet program which is a school within the school. ERHS always has something going on in the quad (pep rallies, club day, etc). It's a great place to learn. Our football team is the best. And our scores matter to the school. I love it here, and I look forward to the next three years.

Eagle Rock H.S. producers excellent scholars, athletes and has a rabidly loyal following and alumni. It's student population is diverse and excepting of everyone. The students are not afraid of a good protest to protect a beloved teacher. Go Eagle Rock High School.

I like the involvement of the Administration with the faculty and their students. The security of the school thanks to the dedicated Dean and supportive staff.

There are so many opportunities for you to do things outside of school. The clubs are fun and open to all students, the school is one of the best in the nation, and it is located in a friendly community,

I am a former student, loved most of my teacher (taught me to focus and study properly). I felt safe and had fun with extracurricular activities.

ERHS is a great L.A. school that's very diverse and offers something for everyone. Our students are hardworking and are simply, the best. I would not work anywhere else.
