La Salle High School

My son will be a Senior next fall and we simply love La Salle High School. This school offers advanced courses that other high schools don't have (Genetics, Biotechnology, Anatomy, AP Spanish Literature, etc.) The school is very well organized and teachers are always available to talk to parents or students.

Excellent school. Deans are very strict with attendance, uniforms, responsibility, etc. Parents can check every single class, grade, test, on line. La Salle HS offers all the help needed on SAT, ACT, and other requirements for College applications, etc.

The school hired an expensive law firm to bully its neighbors; they continue with the same mentality as when I was a student there. A good place to go for kids that are in trouble and need to be trained as worker bees.

I will have both my children at La Salle next Year. We are very pleased with the academic of the school and it has been a wonderful experience.

An excellent balanced program. My student is very happy and excelling in school. His test scores are also very good. He calls La Salle " The school of heaven"

I went to school here and graduated in the class of 2008. All of my siblings went to La Salle and I've seen the academics come a long way. The teachers are great. Some I have developed strong and lasting relationships. But like most of the reviews I would have to agree: the school is extremely cliquey. I was fortunate enough to have a great time with great friends all four years. Not the place for everyone, but if you have friends going into La Salle you should be fine.

The school has done very well with the student athletes it has admitted over the years. It has more league championships and sport offerings than most other schools in the pasadena area.

The school talks a good game, but does not deliver. Boy's sports are horrible (except basketball) not in talent but in leadership at the sport, AD and overall philosophy handed down by the President and the top donors. Academically, there are several good teachers who care, there are many that have no clue what or how to teach. There are a lot of cliques and a lot of disrespect. Tough year for La Salle students to get into UC schools. You are really being prepped for Private University at twice the price.

I started at the summer institute and have to say that I really love this school! Although I may be entering as a freshman, I took three classes during the summer and have found my teachers to be very encouraging, the students friendly, and the campus very beautiful. My second school of choice does not compare to La Salle. I'm extremely excited to join the Lancer community this fall!

La Salle is a great school, both my daughter and my son love the faculty and administration. Our yongest daughter will be attending La Salle this year. We highly recommend La Salle.
