El Sereno Middle School

This school has improved allot.It use to be one of the worst schools in LAUSD but has hugely improved.I just graduated this year 2010-2011.And well my experience here wasn't that great.I went to the deans allot and i got bullied.But hey i did meet some cool people.The only good counselor in this school was Ms.Seranno but she got a pink slip and so did the whole music department.There were some good teachers like Mr.Bautista,Ms.Corona,Ms.Pena,Mr.Huey,Mrs.Schooler,Ms.Wu......I sometimes felt sorry for them because i felt they deserved a better school than this dump....But i did have some nice memories here.....

This school is simple, bad grades, bad teachers. Good grades, good teachers. Bad community, bad everything, pretty much.

Awesome school! Im a 7th grader. (NEW TO THIS SCHOOL) And I was so nervous to come here. But before the day it began my mom and me went to take a tour of the school. And the next day it was like I was there forever. I love it. TO any new students in the future dont be scared even of switching classes, making friends, or having more than one teacher. Its awesome better than Elem.! I was told this school was bad so many times but thats a lie! I totally recommend this school other than Emery park i used to go to a private school but this school is way better and even more better with the help it is getting from the mayor! You'll love it this school is awesome! Even P.E is awesome,and im a girl. So thats about it but youll love it! Trust me!

El Sereno is an okay skool. If ur looking for a good school, I recommend the El Sereno Magnet.

The administration of this school is out of touch with what is really going on. Their only concerns are with the CST and enrollment. They are too week to enforce even the dress code effective and the new notebook program is regarded as a joke. Teachers are unsupported by the administration or the district and classroom matterials, such as textbooks and desks are terrible.

Its a pretty nice school with an awesome magnet program. Been in the magnet for my 3 years. I've made many great memories with the magnet. Its a close-knit community. The school has a decent number of afterschool activies and has an above average security. A decent number of electives, just not enough for the magents. The dress code isn't all that bad but I'll be glad to be done with it after this year. The staff and teachers are pretty friendly and try their best to help. My only complains was how they changed the magnet program to 3 classes instead of the orginal 2 and the fact that after the pe teacher left they spread us. The campas is pretty clean. I'll be sad to leave this school.
