I love my high school. FIlled with amazing teachers, great oppurtunities, and lovely people thee's never a bad day here! So many things happening a student here can never be bored! And don't worry about fitting in because there are all times of social groups here cliches and new ones, too! I've never seen bullying here, and this is an enviroment where if you give a smile you get a smile! Come to LosAl all are welcome!

Though my experiences have mostly been positive, several have not been. For one, there is a HUGE segregation between the “honors” kids and the “regular” kids. The “honors” kids, at least the upper classmen, are always motivated, and competitive, and usually stressed while the “regular” kids are generally lax, and don’t do homework, and more likely to party. There are obvious exceptions to this, but this seems to be how it works. As for the teachers, many of them are really kind, passionate, and are grateful to be teaching at Los Al, but at the same time, if a class does poorly they tend to blame the class instead of finding a flaw in their teaching. Sports are exceptionally competitive, but once you’ve made the team, everyone becomes a family. Like teachers, coaches believe their methods are divine and any failure is the students’ fault. Administration is very slow and inconsistent when you need help.
I’m currently a Senior graduating in 2019, I have been in the Los Al district since kindergarten. I have really enjoyed my years going through this school district. My kindergarten principal is actually now my high school principal. I’m a Varsity Cheerleader and have been involved with the Cheer and Song program since 9th grade. Los Al school district has great teachers and administrative personnel.
