GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As a student of La Mirada High School, I could confidently say that it has it's strengths and weaknesses. Two really strong aspects of LM are it's clubs and faculty. Every club that's established is tight-knit and serve their niche quite effectively. Throughout my time, I was apart of the Esports, Korean [Culture Appreciation], & Asian-American Pacific Islander Club. The faculty, especially the teachers, is the main reason why my time at La Mirada is enjoyable.

My experience at La Mirada High school has been interesting as there has been many highs and lows. The best parts were the sports as I had encouraging coaches and teammates and the worst part would be having trouble to find a comfortable place to sit as there is not many tables, making it hard to eat comfortably and with a group of friends.

I felt like it was a pretty balanced school with opportunities for students to be a part of anything they wanted to try. My parents felt l...

I hate being here. I have never enjoyed a single day doing any of the work that is assigned here. I can't even say that this is a learning environment, as I haven't "learned" anything meaningful. The ONLY thing that makes this school bearable are the friends you make, which is a given at literally e...

The teachers harass students and disrespects them in the worse ways, bringing their self esteem down. I’m writing this review based on the experience my two students had to go through and face with no support from administrators who was more interested in the reputation of the school and covering up...
