Pacific Lutheran Jr./Sr. High School Reviews

Homework that was given seemed a bit excessive, hardly had any time for some free time to myself. All work was given out as classwork in our English class, but we usually didn't have a lot of time to actually finish it, I would end up getting a horrible grade on the assignment and when I asked to redo the classwork assignment, I was told by the teacher that I could not redo it and I ended up failing the class. For the Semester 1 final in English it was just insane, you had to read 7 stories from a given English book, read 1 whole novel, practice over some 50+ vocabulary words, and manage to practice over 7 lessons of grammar rules. Literally just seemed as if it was designed to intentionally fail the students because somehow no other school has this. I enjoyed the rest of my classes, but that one English class just needs improvement. Theology was weird, teacher would be jumping from bible verse to bible verse, at the final it was just as insane as the English class.

Pacific Lutheran Jr/Sr High School has proven to be the best school for my grandson. The curriculum is challenging, the teachers are vested in the students growth and development and the school overall is committed to the whole child all in a Christ-centered environment. The only thing I would like to see more of is the variety of electives offered.

Great school my daughter started in the 9th grade . All the staff are awesome very nice and helpful .

Review Pacific Lutheran Jr./Sr. High School

This is a great school. The class sizes are not overwhelming so the teachers are able give the kids their attention. The staff are caring. They have a student/parent portal that keeps track of your child's progress. Overall this is a school you would want to send your child to.

Pacific Lutheran is an excellent private school education. They have some caring, dedicated teachers and staff who are all extremely gifted educators. They always keep the parents in the loop about the things involving the school and the students. Excellent communication! Very caring and supportive group with active participation in school events. Reasonable tuition and very good student teacher ratio.

Excellent school where kids can just be kids. There's no need to worry about your kids being brain washed with Marxist socialism, intersectionality/victim points, gender fluidity, or other nonsense the public schools are teaching. Our child was accepted into The California Academy of Mathematics and Sciences (CAMS), one of the best high schools in the country, and we opted to go with Pacific Lutheran. The staff genuinely care for their students and take very the responsibly in caring for God's little children. The school is very diverse and happens to be one of the more affordable options for a private Christian education. If you have 8+ hours each day to correct the lunacy kids are being indoctrinated with in public schools, good luck to you. I you know you can't out hustle the devil, PACLU may be the best investment you ever make for your child.

This school has a great lutheran doctrine taught every day and genuine and caring teachers happy to help with academics. Since this is a small school, it's easy to be intimate with the teachers and classmates, making the whole school like a family.

PacLu has been a great school for us. Their staff are friendly and committed to student learning. They genuinely care for the students. As parents, we feel connected...we're a part of it.

My experience at Pacific Lutheran Jr./Sr. High School is 5 stars because the staff there will make sure keep on going even though you do not think you can not keep on going. What I like about Pacific Lutheran Jr/Sr. High School is they do not judge you, they help you, and they talk to you if you need someone to talk to you. The would not want to see any changes.

Our son started at Pac Lu in Middle School and is now in highschool there. He has experienced a very unique learning environment that combines rigorous academics, a warm and family-like atmosphere, with a sincere Christ-centered focus. The principal is clear and committed about instilling Christian principles. The teachers are of high quality and seem to emphasize in-class engagement, some homework to reinforce but they don't overdo it just to give busy work. Would like to see them interact more with other Lutheran schools for additional socialization/friendships, maybe through club activities. Several AP classes offered. We love Pac Lu!

I love the Christian based school they incorporate daily into their school work. It’s rigorous but also very loving and individualized for each student.
After the Covid shutdown, my son was struggling with his fundamentals. Pacific Lutheran made it possible to help him gain back his foundation! A year later and he is now on Student council…what a transformation!!!!
Thankyou!!!!

It is an excellent school and a good education for our children, good teaching of the faith and I like that they take care of our students, they are very orderly and safe.
The only thing I would like the school to teach and have is music and art for our students, everything else is excellent.

I like that the kids are held to a higher standard and taught that there at consequences for their actions.

I am a student at Pacific Lutheran. I have been here for 3 years, and I am currently on my 4th year. I am very appreciative that they give so many choices in clubs and I am very happy that they have sports teams because I am very athletic. The teachers are amazing because they are so understanding. You can tell them anything like if they are your friends. I really enjoy the school activities like spring week and the yearly camping trip. I have 3 other sisters and next year we all will be attending Pacific Lutheran, and I am glad that they give a sibling discount. Since it is a small school, basically everyone knows everyone, and it is like we are all a family.

The school has highly qualified and dedicated teachers who are passionate about helping students achieve their full potential. The faculty members are well-educated and have degrees from reputable schools. They are committed to helping students develop strong critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.

My child has been attended PacLu for four years, and this year she'll be graduating as a senior. This school has been such a blessing and my daughter has grown both spiritually and in her education. If you're looking for an amazing private Christian school to send your student, look no further, you won't be disappointed.

Pacific Lutheran is an excellent private school education. They have caring, dedicated teachers and staff who are all extremely gifted educators. This school offers each student individualized academic attention while supporting their social and emotional well being. The school community is a very caring and supportive group with active participation in school events and efforts. The school has welcomed us with open arms from day one. And my son has grown both academically and spiritually. Our family is truly thankful for PacLu!

Review Pacific Lutheran Jr./Sr. High School

It’s a great school where they help students to respect on another and after all there love to God. They have excellent teachers and they have such great communication. Once you walk in PAC Lutheran you notice a huge difference around people. I thank God that I put my daughter in that school. I recommend it 100%

They have a serene environment for students to cope with the environment and learn. Also they offer scholarships to scholarships either internationally or local students, It’s an independent school

The teachers are friendly and nice. The school offers several AP courses and math and science classes.
