Students that were in the school were kind. I grew really close to them during a short period of time. Teachers always tried to help as many students as they could. I really enjoyed middle school years there.

Some very dedicated teachers and personnel. But mostly an unresponsive nightmare. I wish I had read these reviews before I sent my kid here. The number for the School Police is 213-625-6631. Put it in your phone. Keep your phone close. You will need it. Good luck to you.
