Los Amigos High School Reviews

Some teachers are great and truly have a passion for teaching.  More security needs to be provided to have a safer campus.  The social atmosphere has gotten out of control and the percentage of fights, drugs, and vandalism has gone up.  This school can truly do better if students are given more attention by the teachers, counslers, and parents.

Example reviews:

"This school has absolutely changed my son's life! He is a brilliant kid who has a learning disability, and the staff absolutely understands his situation and teaches the way he learns! They are so insightful, understanding and capable, I feel lucky that we are part of that community."

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
