All the teachers have helped me with any difficulties in any subject. I also find the school's college corner to be especially helpful for all the lowerclassmen that interested in preparing themselves for college and for the seniors who need guidance on planning for their future.

I had a pleasant experience at this school there were many extra curricular activities as well as programs that helped students prepare for college and or other routes after high school.

I've had an overall amazing time at La Serna, the teachers are great and care a lot for their students. They always go out of their way to ensure we feel safe and welcome in all classrooms and all places throughout the campus. The only times I've had a bad time at school would be when some staff members would give unnecessary attitude to us students, I understand everyone has a bad day but there is no need to take it out on us students. I feel like every day is a new day at school and there is always something going on whether it's bad or good, you will always make lots of memories at school.

The academic side of La Serna has been amazing in my sons 2+ years at the school.Now for the bad, The athletics department is mediocre at best, unless it is Football, then they go all out.

When I went to La Serna we had a fantastic A+++ art department. You worked on a portfolio to show in art school or college level art courses. And you had competitions to compete with other students for art scholarships. We use to practice our language skills when we went on field trips to places tha...
