La Habra High School Reviews

 
I am an grad of LHHS. I went to UCI right afterawards and just graduated this June. LHHS did not prepare me for UC standards. I almost dropped out my first year because my writing was so bad even though i maxed out the district writing exam. As far as for highly selective schools LHHS.

My son attended 4 years at LHHS and graduated in 2004. He was involved in the Heritage and AP programs as well as playing tennis. The math department was outstanding. He is a motivated student and had a great High School experience. He currently attends UC Berkeley and is majoring in Engineering. I firmly believe that his 4 years at La Habra gave him a well rounded fun acedemic experience that has helped prepared him for the future.

My son's first year at LHHS was a good one. His second year was a disaster and I didn't know about it until it was too late. He failed two of his classes and the teachers never bothered to inform me. Teachers never responded to my phone calls and emails. When I asked for a meeting with his counselor, he told me that he didn't have nothing to do with his classes and I needed to discuss it with his teachers. He will be going to another school out of the district.

As with any school, you get out what you put in. My son loved the automotive and metals classes that were offered at LHHS. If it weren't for the ROP program, I sincerely doubt he would have had the job skills he now has. Thank you, LHHS, for remembering that not all kids are college bound at the age of 17 or 18. Give them skills to get real work experience and they can have better lives.

From my experience with La Habra High School, I am very impressed with the entire teacher staff and athletics department. Although all staff is very well qualified I believe that the math department is very excellent! Keep up the good work!

After reading other reviews, I must agree. Parent participation is lacking. Ironically, it is parents like myself actually wanting and inquiring into their child's academic progress that face a barricade.

La Habra High has lack of parental involvement which leads to a reputation of a party school. The administration both at the school and at the district level seem ill informed about the students. The terrific academic programs they offer do not outweigh the lack of parental involvement and lack of programs.

Currently La Habra High is rated #3 in the school district followed by Sunny Hills. Troy is #1 and in my opinion doesn't count because it pools students from outside the district. La Habra needs to concentrate more on academics, and less on the zero tolerance policy. The Fullerton Joint School District needs to enforce high standards throughout their high schools. The campus lacks discipline and structure. The school principal and administrators should focus on raising their level of standard. I am not impressed with the school principal. For now, I recommend a private high school.

La Habra is a good place for motivated students. Students in Heritage, AP, or Honors programs will be well challenged and their minds will be stretched.

At any school, a motivated kid can learn. My kid is not motivated and we've had problems with some La Habra teachers not holding him accountable. Somehow, these teachers need to learn that this really isn't helping the kids. Campus security is a big problem. Kids who've been expelled or dropped out have easy access to campus, but parents are often not permitted to enter campus. My kid knew of another who was expelled for drug dealing and returned everyday at lunchtime, continuing to deal. Campus security would benefit tremendously from a security fence with limited ingress and egress. There's only so much that Detective Macho (LHPD) can do. The current counseling staff is very interested in the kids' well being and future, but they're understaffed and only the kids who are motivated or with motivated parents get attention. Parent participation centers around social
