From my experience as a senior at Arleta High School I have had a generally positive experience. There are a list of available Advanced Placement classes for students to take. All of the teachers I have had work their hardest to help their students and to teach them the absolute best they can.

My experience at Arleta High School has been wonderful!! The atmosphere here is great and there is a diverse community. This community has made me feel safe and the facilities here help the students out a lot. Everyone is friendly with each other and the academics here are excellent.

The best parts about that school was how much help they offer and guidance. Honestly there is no worst parts about arleta all the teachers are very nice and helpful and yes there may be other teachers who give you a hard time but that's because they push you to succeed.

The school is extremely small, which only adds to how limited and uninspiring the envi...
