On one of the most beautiful parcels of land in Los Angele. Too bad it is wasted on a school that focuses more on religion than the safety of its students and bullying. Educational focus is subpar and the kids don't learn how to really problem solve. It's all about numbers and money. The affluent demographic promotes racial and economic bias.

I notice that all these reviews were years ago. Headmaster and divisional directors are terrible. Be careful they do nothing about bullying, Rich kids environment. Administration are pretenders.
