The teachers at Los Amigos are amazing. They are respectful of their students and teach them with care. The food is alright, they have a special everyday which is usually okay. Honestly, I would just like peace in this school, even though there aren't that many fights.

Overall, my experience here at Los Amigos has been a pretty good one. I have learned so much by going here and the oppurtunities they offered here are very benefical to my learning. The environment I also find very comforting as there are a bunch of like minded people around me that I cant talk too whenever. Los also has a thing called pack time - free period to work in any classroom - which comes in handy when needing to study or finish nay work.

I have been grateful for the four years I spent at Los Amigos. I am graduating in May with both my high school diploma and my AA degree, because they offer dual enrollment. Overall, it helped my diversify myself in both a high school environment and a college environment.

Worst school to allow your children to attend. Teachers are the worst, students are in gangs and bring weapons to school. Good luck driving your car on the property, gangs will rob you.
