I would say La Jolla is a great school for me, but too bad I did not take advanatge of their sports especially with soccer. The clubs here are lovely especially a club I am into called faith club, it was teaching about jesus's teachings and in the end you get free pizza. The students here are some what decent, I would say there is indirect bullying. The staff here in this high school is amazing I love the staff they do their best to help you follow your career choices, as well set up an realestic approch on what you can do to both improve your grades and chances to go into what University you want to enter

La Jolla is not only perfectly located in the world you can genuinely relax and enjoy each and every moment you spend there. It has a unique culture at the high school that I genuinely believe you wouldn't find anywhere else. The school has great academics and kind teachers. I will say that the majority of the math department at the school is terrible. I loved my experience at La Jolla High and wouldn't trade it for anything.

La Jolla High has pros and cons like all schools. La Jolla High has some great teachers and some very poor teachers but the kids learn to navigate and take classes based on the teachers. For children that are internally motivated and independent, LJHS would be a good fit. For students that need addi...

I would absolutely NOT recommend this high school for any person. Their counseling staff was unsupportive, disengaged and not helpful in helping our family with understanding curriculum, subject matter and classes needs to graduate and overall college readiness needs. The counseling team was also ve...

There are some amazing loved godlike teachers and one that should never be near kids/in a classroom. I have loved my time here and as long as you stick to the right crowd and take the right classes, you will do fine. I got accommodations from teachers after my dad died and they were super understand...
