My school is amazing. It is a small community that works together and greatly enriches their students. I am beyond grateful to attend this school, however I think our attendance at sports games could improve, along with involvement from administrators.

Laguna Beach High School is a really nice place overall; there are supportive teachers and plenty of resources to help you get through your high school years while also preparing for college. The best experience would definitely be the school spirit as well as the resources that are available including dual enrollment,CTE pathways and more. Something that may be improved is the amount of APs that you can take and perhaps the food.

Accountability from staff is needed and special education is very much in need of developing to keep from students having to attend a school outside the district to fulfill their needs.

It would be very cavalier to say Laguna Beach HS is a country club but my observation has been that pa...

Bottom line: This school with all its money and beauty is horrible unless you are looking to be unsuccess in anything but sports or arts. There is absolutely no encouragement what so ever to be strong in academics. The lack of encouragement causes the students in this school to simply not care eithe...
