The school has had a different principal every year my child has been there. I don't feel he will be well prepared for college.

I love the school spirit at Las Lomas. Our school feels like a community where everyone feels welcome. We have lots of activities throughout the year to fit everyone's likings making school more enjoyable. I would say our school generally needs a remodel as it is pretty old. Our classrooms are outdated and we would benefit from newer furniture that would hurt our backs less. Other than that Las lomas is a great school.
