What I liked about East Los Angeles Performing Arts was the way the staff allows it's students to be diverse. I would like to see a lot more spirit in our hallways with posters and pictures of the kids in our school.

East Los Angeles Performing Arts Magnet is a great school for youth with a passion to pursue a career in the arts. I love the support and effort from both teachers and students. The school is not that big which means everyone knows everyone which is a great thing. Everyone is so nice and helping with positive vibes. On the other hand, the lunch is okay. We have days where the lunch it is so good and then we have days where it is not so good.
