Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies Reviews
Rating 3.62 out of 5 445 reviews
My overall experience at LACES was wonderful. I was a student at LACES for the past seven years, and each year my love for the school increased. The majority of my teachers, especially in high school, were passionate, engaging, and sociable. The school is incredibly diverse, and provides the unique opportunity to collaborate with students from every area code in the Los Angeles area. My 45 minute commute each day was entirely worth all the opportunities I was provided - a great education, a passionate and welcoming community, and an environment where I was consistently motivated to think outside of the box and thrive.
Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies has diverse students, many extracurriculars available, and many AP classes. Counselors and a college center at the school provides excellent college readiness and graduation rates. The school also acknowledges social issues, more progressive than other schools. For example, there are small mental health campaigns, events for students to register to vote, and several classrooms have free feminine hygiene products. However, this act of progressiveness is largely performative. The fall fundraiser prizes from a company were racist to Asians. Our leadership class or student body is overwhelmingly white, cisgender, and heterosexual. At the peak of the recent #BLM movement, the Black Student Union was disrespected by leadership from not being able to be fully involved and actually create the project. Instead, the "educational" meetings with students was directed by white students, some of whom did not take the matter seriously, some even laughing.
Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies is an extremely resourceful and student-friendly school. The system is set up to allow for the highest success rate for students. All A-G requirements for all colleges are met as standard classes at LACES. The school has an extremely kind and caring mental health expert who listens to students' issues on a daily basis. She has helped students deal with their problems. Furthermore, each grade level is assigned a counselor who regularly meets with the students to discuss their well-thought-out plan for college. I have personally found the school to be extremely helpful for students of all types. Additionally, the teachers are outstanding. They are kind and use creative methods of teaching to help engage with the students. Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies is a resourceful and student-friendly school that offers support in every area.
