This school is not the best in terms of inclusivity or in helping you achieve what you need to get ready for college, but some of teachers really hold a space in my heart. They go above and beyond for what they need to do and it's made it easier to get through the school year.

At Los Banos Highschool there is a massive focus on Agriculture and athletics. However with other areas such as math and science there seems to be a disconnect, the math scores are not the greatest for the 2024 class which is most likely due to covid. Overall i would rate this school a 4/10 based upon the facilities and staff.

If I could give this school a negative star rating I would. I am so disgusted and disappointed with this school. 3 weeks into school my daughter was moved out of her Biology class. This was because this class was now a Spanish immersion class, and all of the "English" speaking children were moved ou...
