Los Alamitos High School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-09-11 “great school,fantasticteachers,my observation of Los Al High is that it is one of the best schools in the oc schools district.My children talk highly about how hard the teachers have to work due to the amount of students per classroom. Great sports program there.But the dress code needs to be enforced,the girls tops are pretty revealing and shorts are getting shorter. I enjoy the entire staff, they are outstanding!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-09-10 “i love its ethnically diversity and welcoming of sexual orientation” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2008-08-20 “As an incoming senior to los al I have to say that it is an extremely great school. There are a ton of clubs from gay/straight alliance to STUD club. And if you like sports there are quite a few to choose from like: basketball,football,soccer,waterpolo,cheer/song,dance team,diving,swim, baseball,softball, and many more. If your child is into academics we have AP classes or if your child is struggling there are classes for them too. Like all schools there are some cliques,but its more just like finding out where you belong. Los Al is an extremely talented,hardworking school and i am proud to be a griffin.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-08-09 “Great school. Great teachers. I was one of the lucky students to transfer to this school, mid-term, and absolutely enjoyed every part of my experience. The surrounding area is fairly affluent, and since this is the only high school in the Los Alamitos district, we get all the financial advantages.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-03-22 “The school needs to reduce the amount of students significantly. This is from my own observation while on campus on any given day (2007-2008). Per an article in the paper, there are currently over 3,300 students, which is the highest rate for high schools in Orange County. By reducing that number of students, I believe there will be a better ratio of students per teacher, it could help greatly with overcrowding. Isn t that what all parents want; a place for their kids to stretch themselves, not only in mind but in body as well? Due to this reason, among others, my kids no longer want to attend this school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-02-14 “We have a son who graduated from Los Al in 2007 and a daughter that is a Junior this year. They have both been in the Los Alamitos School since kindergarten. They were originally Inter-district Transfers until we moved into the district in 2001. I agree with the majority of the reviews that say that the strength of Los Alamitos High School is that it is highly ranked in both academics and athletics. This allows most students to find their niche although I can imagine that it would be intimidating for a newcomer to the district although I believe that the school does offer a variety of opportunities for involvement that you would be hard pressed to find at other local schools. Additionally you will find that this is a school and community that prides itself on graduating students prepared for continuing education. I believe over 90% of the graduating class from last year went on to some sort of continuing education. The reasons I would not give this school a 5 star is that the facilities are in great disrepair. The school district has done an extremely poor job of budgeting for capital improvements and it shows in the shabby over all condition of the school, fields and gym. Lastly, although Los Alamitos High School does not suffer the gang problems it does have the drug issues found at most big schools and it can at times seem worse as a lot of the student population comes from the affluent communities of Seal Beach, Rossmoor and to a lesser extent Los Alamitos. A lot of these kids have the time and resources to get involved in this culture. Although it is not prevalent it is something to be aware of.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-01-31 “Being that I graduated just last year, I have to say that Los Al was the greatest experience of my life, granted I am 18. The teachers, for the most part, are amazing. In 4 years I never had a bad one and each add their own flair that they add to learning atmosphere. Sports are amazing. Football, Volleyball, Swim and Basketball dominate the school and make for a great environment, for players and fans alike . I was an inter-district transfer from Long Beach and I never had a hard time. Everyone on campus was friendly. Los Al is a great school both academically and athletically. I started on the football team and graduated with honors. It's amazing. Go Griffins.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-11-04 “My son graduated from Los Alamitos High School in 2005. He has told me that he had a great overall experience at the school, and the teachers were amazing. Almost all of his teachers had plenty of experience in their area of expertise and taught well. The school really does things right.”
