La Jolla High School has offered me an experience that really exceeded my expectations. La Jolla offers so many opportunities for students to succeed; this may come in the form of sports teams, school clubs, or academic opportunities for excelling students. Occasionally, guest speakers will speak at our auditorium and talk on a variety of topics, such as neuroscience from members of the Salk Institute, sexual education from Kaiser Permanente, and many more! To add on, many teachers I've had were committed to giving a hands-on experience and teach students in the most efficient and effective way possible. My one main concern is the school's lack of funding toward the theatre department. I'm lucky to say the theatre department has strong parental funding to keep it going, but seeing our sports teams give out hefty checks to coaches or staff really confuses me. However, budgeting issues are out of my hands, and so I'd sum up my experience with La Jolla High as being very good overall.
La Jolla High school has a friendly community with supportive teachers. The beach isn't far from the school so it's a nice place to hang out and relieve stress before or after school. At La Jolla High people tend to be cliquey but during class time everyone is usually friendly. Mostly everyone is very competitive so if you sign up for hard classes make sure that you are capable of them or else you might see yourself in trouble. Overall, La Jolla High is a nice place to be and enjoy your high school experience!
My experience has been excellent at La Jolla High School. Every class I have taken has prepared me for the next year, and allowed me to succeed academically. Athletically, I have had some of the best memories in my life. The team camaraderie and school competitiveness is something that can't be taught. The school faculty is always there for you and puts you in the position to thrive. The opportunities with various clubs at La Jolla High brings students together and exposes them to new activities. The district has made several improvements to the campus this past couple of years, including a brand new stadium and field, locker room, weight room, and two concession stands. Additionally, many of the buildings have been completely redone and include air conditioning, remodeled bathrooms, and new teaching technology.
