La Serna High school is one of the schools of all time. I'd say it is above average but there is nothing truly outstanding about it. Simply put, it is a good school that gets the job done when preparing you for college.

Though my experience at this school wasn't the worst there had been many instances where the school proved to me and others that they did not care about our well being and mental health. I would like to see the school prove their moto of "you are loved" to be a reality. Also the dress code. The cheerleaders were constantly pulling up their shorts/skirts showing their bottoms quite often but less than an inch of a regular girls midriff was a problem. Start focusing how your school is represented through these girls and not on someone's belly button.

I believe La Serna is a high school were students can truly thrive. Being an introvert myself, this school allowed me to break out of my shell. Of course, there were sad times, but that's high school. Thankfully I was able to find my people. I was able to do that through clubs, extracurriculars, and classes. It may have taken me a little longer, but it was so worth it. I am leaving high school feeling excited to move on to a new chapter. Thats something I wasn't sure was possible going into high school.

Teachers and counselors treat me the same, they act like I need help 24/7 when I don't. They wouldn't let me use the restroom on my own. I couldn't even get to class on m...

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. The school supplies the Baseball teams a total of $600 a year (per our head coach) which doesn't even cover the...

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...

Counselor that is assigned to my daughter absolutely worthless (Kelly Strong) never returns emails and always seems to be on vacation. Thankfully the school has Marco Ramirez who is great at responding but unfortunately has to carry the load for lazy counselors like her. So far my daughter has had a...
