Teachers actually care about you and really do prepare you for college. Not just in academics but in having the correct character to succeed later in your academic career. The student body is very diverse and not like your typical private school. You will always be busy with some type of extracurricular. Also the school lunches are so good, they're always either homemade or catered with great portion sizes.

I am very happy with the school. Two of my children have already graduated. One is still in high school. Most of the teachers and coaches are very caring and wholeheartedly committed to teaching the students. It is a small community; it provides a healthy environment for children and teens to learn...

terrible, i have no idea how this is still a school; they talk so highly of themselves and are afraid of the outside world; it says most students typically attend UCLA after graduation but in the past couple of years, only one has attended UCLA
