Luella High School

I have a son that graduated from Luella (2011) and a daughter who is a freshman. Like most schools, Luella has a problem with over crowding and behavior. The administration or the faculty are not responsible for those problems. They do the best they can with what they have. Some of the parents need to discipline their children and the school days will be more productive. My daughter is a 13 yr old 9th grader and has all A's and is doing several honors classes. She has no disciplinary problems and is a member of the school's track team My son was on the football team, the track team, a member of DECA and Distinguished Gentlemen. He was also a Student Ambassador who travelled to Australia in 2008 representing his school and community.

The new principal is wonderful. He cares about the kids and is doing wonders in improving school spirit. Keep up the good work Mr. Smith!

Luella High School is great and the children there need to make sure they keep it that way. we control what happens and what does not happen by our actions. if you do not wish to learn stay home. School is not a place to send your children for baby sitting or get them out of your hair. if your children are bad at home they are bad at school. Luella Rocks and the teachers and staff are awsome. I only wish it could stay great my children tell me they see negative changes and I hope that as community and school we are able to keep it from becoming another average run of the mill high school. i personally love the school and I happy to a child who is a senior this year graduate. My son will graduate from Luella as well provided we can keep it up!

As a Senior at Luella High School... I can honestly say I love this School. Although we have a hand full of problems we have it better than most schools. I have so much pride for this rapidly growing school because of everything I participate in. I see the all the effort the teachers and staff put into each kid that walks the hall and they really do try to make an impression on their life. Underclassmen tend to be a little ignorant and never see the good side of our school. We are a very intellectual school with so much to show. Our test scores prove it! and we are stepping on the heels of UGHS and fighting for #1. -forever a lion Roxanna Alvarado C/O 2010

Luella does focus more on discipline than academics tons of people are in iss which i think is dumb whats the point of missing a whole day of work just because you got in trouble in one class thats kinda pointless. Some teachers really do care about the students. Some of the assistant principles care to. But one the other hand some teachers really are rude and disrespectful towards the students. And i go to luella and i think i see that principle like once a day and when i do see him he trying to enforce some rules on people trying to give iss.The food is disgusting and some of the lunch ladies have attitude problems.

I am a sophomore at Luella Highschool and have attended Luella sense 8th grade. I like luella for the most part but most of the student are extremely disrespectful to the teachers and the teachers dont do anything about it. Students interupt classes and teachers dont even take into account that it actually bothers some people. My honors class are just as bad as my regular classes when it comes to student behavior. Fights go on way to much at luella and we get way to much bad publicity. In the classroom we dont have a good learning environment and i feel that I am missing out because of this. - Concerned Student.

I like Luella and my children do very well there. I think it is great - yes it is over crowded but considering that it is wonderful!

As the parent of a a graduated student class of 09, I can look back at the good and bad. I have met some very dedicated parents and good kids. However the school is extremely over-crowded. They lack school spirit and pride. At first there were strict dressing codes, this has fallen to the way side. There needs to be more activities aside cheerleading and flag corp for girls that aren't into 'sports' There is a step team and although it is open to all, it's basically what the African American girls join. This is true of the 'dance team' also. Non African American girls don't have much to do if they aren't in band or sports. I believe more sponsors and school spirit would remedy this. I have witnessed many top rated teacher leave for other school districts, which is a real shame.

Luellla is a great school. Great teachers that push me to do my best. Staying late to give me tutoring and letting me redo my test that I do bad on.

I'm a freshmen at Luella High School. I was scared during my 1st day. The school does have a lot of students, but you still get the attention you need. My teachers want us all to excell. I take all honors and have an A in all my classes. It's not that the class are easy. It's only easy if you are dedicated and do the work your suppose to do and you must study. A lot of people are failing their classes. I like my honors classes, because they are challenging. Everyday when I come home I have something new or interesting to tell my mom. Once in a while their are fights, but they are dealt with automatically. You don't just learn academic things; you also learn manners and character traits everyone should have.
