It is one of the best high school of California. I would not like to change anything, it is great how it is right now.

Throughout my 4 years at Arleta High School I have realized how glad I am to be enrolled in a school where I felt safe. Although this school make lack extracurricular activities and student involvement the people here are all very connected. I never once felt unsafe here. They have a variety of rules and expectations that prevents a lot of conflict between students. The close watch they have on students may get frustrating but overall helps to ensure our safety. I have formed meaningful connections and bonds that will last a lifetime. The teachers here are also very involved with ensuring you're receiving the proper education needed to move on to college. I feel prepared for my future college courses because of the learning habits I have gained while in high school. Im glad I was able to experience high school in a small school where I formed strong connections with both the students and teachers.

I love it here at Arleta though it is a smaller school there a chance where we can connect with our peers better. The best parts are the academic classes as well as electives. The worst part is getting no student participation with events that leadership plans or in general. I would love to see our school spirit grow so everyone can enjoy high school
