Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies Reviews
Rating 3.63 out of 5 455 reviews
I attended my school from 6th through 12th grade, so I had many years to observe it and each of its parts. My school very much valued its academics and students who could commit to its high demands. But there was also a population that could not commit the demands, largely due to a change in the past decade that turned a nearby elementary school into the feeder for the middle school. It was a choice to incentive students that brought higher test scores and more parent involvement to attend the feeder school, but at the same time created a population at my high school that was there out of convenience, rather than for its academic reputation. This in addition to a culture of ¨AP¨ versus ¨regular¨ courses allowed for a gap to exist between the students who had the support to meet the academic standards versus the students who could not or may not have the same level of support. My school always ignored and allowed this gap, so its high academic expectations are its best and worst parts.
The school is predominantly filled with middle-class people and the facilities are a little dirty, however, the academics make up for it since we offer 26 AP classes and have around 70 student-run clubs which can allow you to learn about different subjects and engage. We also offer sports however we aren't really known for them.
Many of the teachers and administrators were supportive of students, though they often made clear who their favourites were. Overall though, the workload and material covered prepared me for college more than I anticipated, even making the college workload seem much more manageable than the workload in both middle and high school, which does make some sense as it is a college-prep school.
