Like any organization, there's always room for improvement. I think at the top of the list would be diversity. While I know they feel it's a diverse community, I think it's relative. My previous school was 57% diverse, which was great. I think the diversity should also include socio-economic diversity. The teachers are great. The school setting is lovely, but we need more diversity... hands down.

I hate everything about it. As a minority in THREE different ways, I feel completely left out. The academics are good, but the work is horrendous. The athletics are okay, but the coaches suck. The people just suck. Really freaking stuck up. But I like their food so I decided to give them one more star.

Overall excellent school. Strong academic environment, best in art and literature education. Overall less diverse given student pool from west side/wealthy part of LA.

Some of the teachers have inappropriate relationships with the students. They need a better vetting process and thorough backgrounds checks.

The school really nails in the DEI but it is anything but. It is a flashy school where driving up in your Toyota makes you feel inferior. Money, donations and connections go far here. The admissions will say anything to sell you however behind the scenes it is a different story.

I rated this school a 3 star because I haven't been there yet but I will add a new review once I experience the school. Just a neat reminder to parents, as a student who has switched schools twice it is a good thing to know that schools present themselves to students completely differently than they...

Starts them out easy in K and ratchets it up slowly so they can handle college with ease. Pleasantly nurturing in the younger grades and a lot of power networking potential for parents. The children get a well rounded education and stand ready to take their place among the Los Angeles elite.
