I've transferred to this school due to moving, and what everyone says about this school is true, It should be considered one of the worst schools in this district. The school staff does not enforce ANYTHING in school grounds. The teachers do not give much of teaching, rather of stacks of assignments to grade and pass us on to the next grade. Security is also a problem. Currently we have many issues with smokers and it seems as if not enough security is going around to stop it. The effort is minimal, during lunch time kids are sprawled all over campus who smoke. I did not see any security walking around the area to make sure. The students will ditch and it is made easy for them. Most of the students behaviors reflect lack of discipline and no motive for education. Overall I advise parents to avoid this school.
The new principal is extremely competent, creative and truly looking out for the best interests of the students, their emotional growth and the continued success of LACHSA. LACHSA's teachers are overall the most skilled, focused, dedicated and joyful I've seen in any public or private institution. The arts disciplines are on a professional level, which the parents are so grateful for that their commitment to organizing and participating is quite commendable.
great school with caring teachers and students eager to learn
Great programs and the magnet's spirit for the school is getting more discipline and stronger. There're many efforts to improve campus although it lacks somewhat school spirit
Los Angeles High School is improving through the efforts of a great administrative staff and caring teachers.
One of the vest schools i have ever attened, with their hard working staff and well mannered students, this school deserves a better rating than a four. it deserves an 8
This school has very good teachers but has some bad walls and environment.
I attended LA High and I really enjoyed the time there. Like every other school there are difficulties, but you will get teachers that are really great. I really think that parent participation is really important. I could see how studnet's could get into a lot of trouble if not supervised.
It is not that bad of a school. A lot of the teachers will help you if you go to them for help with your kids. Jrotc is a excellent program at la high for the students. Parents need to come out and meet the teachers on back to school night. I see so few parents coing you have to make an effort and have inerest in the school.
Very bad school in my opinion.
