La Serna High School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-05-28 “LSHS is a fabulous school for the teens that attend in Whittier. The academics, the leadership, the top notch teachers , counselors, administration and openness to new programs is first rate. We as parents appreciate the work put in by the security, administration, teachers, counselors to those that maintain the school...We are proud of La Serna. I give the school 5 stars and thank you for the great education and positive experiences both my kids have as now graduates , as of 6/18/08.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-10-24 “I am a current senior at La Serna, and I have to say this year is the best. La Serna has not been known for its school spirit, but this year we have really stepped it up. The Link Crew program for mentoring freshman has added to the schools school spirit because they are no longer afraid to be themselves. We have 'loud crowd' shirts, which are given away to the most enthusiastic people during lunch or at the football games. These shirts are a prized possession, and students wear them everywhere. We also have a new victory 'assembly'. The day after one of our teams wins a game, during nutrition band members come out on our stage in the middle of campus and play while the captains of the team raise a lancer 'victory flag' and ring our 'victory bell'. It gets everyone excited for the next game.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-08-15 “I feel safe at my school and the teachers are always there to help me” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 3 2007-04-06 “It is a good school, true. 'Distinguished'? It would love to pride itself in such a title. Curriculum is not challenging. I was heavily involved in activities (elected to student government, leader of clubs, AP classes, etc.) yet there is little enthusiasm as to actual lessons to be learned. Most of the material is all to project the image of excellence, when really the teachers and faculty do little to care for the quality of life lessons. La Serna is great place to go to if you simply want to have the appearance of a good education.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-03-28 “Great teachers, particularily in the AP classes. Good athletic coaches who emphasized academics along with sports. My son graduated with a straight A average, (4th in his class of 396) and entered the USAF Academy.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-10-04 “My daughter graduated with honors last year. She is attending a top Ivy League school this year. The Link Leader program added something special in terms of caring for others, which is something our community needs more of. She talks fondly of several teachers and her counselor has been top notch. The College Corner was a great resource as well. My son is attending this year as a junior, and he is getting challenged and supported as well. Combined with parent support, La Serna is a fine school.” Posted By: staff Quality Score: 5 2006-09-18 “La Serna offers the student a well rounded education. The focus is not totally on test scores only. It seeks to engage all students in the learning process through a variety of techniques. La Serna not only has a good reputation for its academics, but also boasts of an amazing drama, art, music, and sports program. It has a good faculty and a dedicated support staff. I wouldn't send my daughter to any other school in the area!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-04-10 “Prime High School in Whittier! Everything from it's location to it's academic courses, La Serna can't be beat. Students have extremely high school spirit and parents are involved as well!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-02-01 “I have two boys at La Serna and one on the way. The academics are strong with an emphasis on helping children in need of help as demonstrated by their half-lunch program. There is a good variety of AP classes. The Water Polo and Swim teams seem to be well organized. Parents seem to be involved and take part in activities such as evaluating the senior projects. I'm glad we live in the attendance area of La Serna. It's ther reason I bought my home.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-11-26 “Very fine school with focus on acedemics and the arts. Drama program second to none.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-09-30 “Wonderful availablility of advanced courses, very high level of parental involvement, both my daughters are extremrely involved in sports and school asb.

Students appear to be using undesirable items at school withoput any repucusions.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5
