L.A. County High School for the Arts Reviews
Rating 3.6 out of 5 201 reviews
Amazing arts programs AND college-prep academics. The school is all about well-educated, well-rounded artists, which is why graduates not only get into the top conservatories, but the most selective universities in non-arts majors, too!
My son is halfway through high school and LACHSA continues to exceed our expectations. I am blown away by the level of caring from teachers and administrators, the high standards of professionalism within the different art departments, and the fact that it's all tuition-free. In addition to the immersive arts curriculum, there are so many cool extra-curricular opportunities for students to participate in (the 64-Hour Film Festival, Halls of Horror, plays, musicals, concerts - there is always something going on). Most importantly, LACHSA encourages kids to be their authentic selves in a culture of acceptance. So grateful that we found this place and proud to be a part of this vibrant community.
Our third child is currently at LACHSA and we have seen the school get exponentially better over the past nine years. Administration is as strong as it's ever been, with attention placed on the health and well-being of ALL students in the LACHSA community. We love the holistic approach LACHSA takes with academics and the arts -- teacher training supports learners of all kinds and staff is wholly committed to social justice, equity and inclusion. The curriculum is rigorous and can be challenging, but there is support at every level geared towards student success. Our children have made lifelong friends at this school and the atmosphere is always supportive and accepting -- there is very little competition between students, they just want to raise one another up to do their very best. Art teachers treat their students with respect as young adults eager to listen and learn about their craft. LACHSA is a magical place where your student will find themselves in many beautiful ways.
