We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

UCLA Community School has really helped a lot with my growth as a person. I have been at this school for just a year and the impact it has gotten me is great. I learned a lot of things, made new friends, and established a goal for myself. They have really helped me value my education more and accept challenge that honed me as a person that I am today. I am honestly grateful for this school because even though I'm staying here not more than 2 years, it made so many change within myself that was better than the person I was before.

My experience at UCLA community school has been very good so far, with good academics, resources, teachers and other school staff. I enjoy my spanish classes they are very fun despite the teacher being strict she makes the class very fun and very life changing. However what I wish my school had was an AP class for the history department. But overall I enjoy being in my school
