We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My past four years at loara helped shape me on who I am today. I joined ASB, was on the volleyball team and made connections. ASB was really a blessing in disguise. I went from being shy to speaking up for myself and others. Even became the senior class president. I value my teachers and administrators and thank them for everything.

it's actually my first and last year at Loara high school and when I got there and I felt very welcome and loved. They do a great job making sure they're students are in class. Unlike other schools, they thought all students would ditch classes and not want to be a school but at Loara they see every student differently and don't look at all of them the same. Being at Loara made me realize not all schools are the same.

As senior at Loara I would like to say that my experiences there started off a bit rough with the pandemic just being over. I feel like loara handled the situation well and I noticed how throughout the years students have become more involved and spirited. Although there have been conflicts within student Loara has pulled through and created a good community not only with their students and faculty but with families.

My child struggled with mental health issues, yet t...

My son is a sophomore at Loara. He is in sports, clubs and does well in his classes. He have three cousins that recently graduated from Loara and all did well and are currently at different UC colleges that they got into because of the schools relationships with those colleges.
