Wonderful atmosphere. Students are great, and most teachers are wonderfully supportive, especially those who teach AP classes. Some classes could be more challenging, and the standard level curriculum for classes like Chemistry is not great, but on the whole, AP teachers do a good job of preparing you for AP tests. Compared to some schools in its district, Las Lomas has great diversity, and lacks the pretentiousness of some other schools in more affluent areas. Teachers are very understanding of personal circumstances. It's unfortunate, however, that Las Lomas does not allow for concurrent enrollment to earn college and school credit at the same time like at some other high schools, and that it also does not accept any credit from summer programs. It's not a very clean school either, and it could definitely use some remodeling. But it makes up for it in character :)
Quite a nice school, with a great "school spirit."
The entire school seems to gather for on-school football matches, and there is high participation in sports.
The academic environment is a little mixed, but many students are enthusiastic. There are many exciting clubs, and the teachers are overall quite good.
The school can be challenging to adapt for transfer students, given that most students here have grown up alongside one another since elementary school.
But there is much respect for ethnic minorities in the school.
Overall, I would recommend Las Lomas to new students, but would advise them to prepare for a few months of adjustment.
