This school was amazing and it shows in the fact that only 2% of teachers are first year which means one in fifty. If you look at the other reviews, the one star reviews are written by parents who have never actually taken a class there. The school has an active community service club that actually helps the community and has another community service club that helps those with special needs and raises awareness. In fact the California scholarship federation did a joint project with the other two community service clubs to bring up issues regarding special needs students at the district board meeting. Some of the parents are talking about "safety issues" but i have never had a problem with this. In fact many students are actively protective of each other including those that they don't know. I currently go to the 26th best high school in texas but i much rather prefer la sierra high school as the people understand what hardship is. People are cognizant of what society means and how it supports the individual which is in direct contrast with my current school. The best part is that the "bad apples" want nothing to do with the "smart people" so it provides a social barrier.

I currently attend this school as a senior and have done so since freshmen year.La Sierra is a really good school. It offers good programs such as health academy. The health academy is a program that prepares you for the future if you want to be in the health fied The teachers are really attentive. They are very caring,you can call them a friend.The bad comments aren't true, at least not for the past years.I recommend that your children go to this school if they have the chance to.
