La Mirada High School

"I hate being here. I have never enjoyed a single day doing any of the work that is assigned here. I can't even say that this is a learning environment, as I haven't ""learned"" anything meaningful. The ONLY thing that makes this school bearable are the friends you make, which is a given at literally every school. Most of the teachers are not good teachers who only focus on work, work and work. There are only a handful of teachers who I can say I have genuinely enjoyed being in their class. That is unacceptable. Furthermore, there is almost no focus on the students. It's always about our athletics team. I really wish I could say that I enjoy being at this school, but if i'm honest, I'm only still here because I have good friends here. If you're considering going here, look somewhere else."

The teachers harass students and disrespects them in the worse ways, bringing their self esteem down. I’m writing this review based on the experience my two students had to go through and face with no support from administrators who was more interested in the reputation of the school and covering up for their staff. No help at all at this school or the district when it comes to protecting teachers and reputation. They don’t give a dam about the students this is so sad! My students where not involved in any sort of trouble they both graduated with honors and where involved in the school.

After being here for 4 years it is easy to see the incompetence of some of the teachers, although some teachers were very beneficial to my academic growth some departments either overwork their student to the point of giving up entirely or not care enough to actually teach its students. The environment the school presents is like a tying a noose around your neck, hard to breath and wanting it to be over with.

These are my honest opinions and my experience I went there freshman and sophomore year I felt like the teachers gave zero help. They only care about athletes or AP students or students with high GPA’s. The school seems very slow. They didn’t take good care of the school, teachers are very lazy don’t grade work in time most of the time they complain about students not doing work but don’t explain work.
