2019 Best All-Boys Schools in the Los Angeles AreaAbout this List

Loyola High School

• Private School
• Los Angeles, CA
• 9-12
• 174

Parent: My son just graduated from Loyola. High marks for the school on turning out high-quality young men who care about their friends and communities. The education is rigorous and while not all of my son's teachers would receive an "A," many are outstanding. I felt that the school was behind the times for students with an interest in engineering/technology as the targeted outcome for students seems to be more focused on law, business, finance tracks. Overall, my son enjoyed the experience and feels very prepared for his freshman year at a top college!

Yeshiva University High School of Los Angeles

• Private School
• Los Angeles, CA
• 9-12
• 23

Freshman: it is a really good school I believe it really does deserve actually a four and a half star rating but since there wasn't any 4 1/2 star rating I just gave it five. The facilities are really good and the sports are really good considering that the school has around 200 students. There are many different sports including flag football, golf, basketball, volleyball, soccer, baseball, and fencing. Academics are also a strong point. The school many students get into Ivy League schools and 100% of students go to college. There are a lot of activities where parents can be involved. The school also prepares students for college. There is a college guidance counselor for only a hundred people unlike and many other Public Schools where hundreds of people have to share one guidance counselor.

Parent: As a parent and staff member at Servite, I have been impressed with the quality of teachers, counselors, staff and coaches. I have 2 sons at Servite, and I can honestly say that Servite is the only place I'd want them to be. The faith formation program is great, and there are plenty of opportunities to find something that fits with your sons interests and personality- whether it is sports, leadership roles, clubs, or service projects.

Many Servite families are quick to volunteer and bond with each other over various events and activities, and I cherish the friendships I have made there. There are so many ways to get involved, which only enhances your family's Servite experience. Come and check out what Servite has to offer! You won't be disappointed! CREDO!

Junior: I appreciate the small, tight-knit community of educators, mentors, and coaches. The small class sizes allow students to more intimately engage with teachers and receive more one on one help. The students are motivated to succeed and the teachers are supportive to that end.

Damien High School

• Private School
• La Verne, CA
• 9-12
• 112

Alum: I am a recent alum of Damien High School, as I am part of the graduating class of 2018. I attended Damien for my entire high school career and had an amazing time. I made a choice to leave the public school system and attend Damien in hope of being better prepared for college and my future. I knew no one going into Damien, but made some amazing friends. The academics and teachers at Damien are outstanding and teachers gave their whole hearted effort. I had great teachers, counselors, and a great time. So much so that I truly believe that my four years attending Damien were the best of my life. I made great friendships and I would recommend anyone to attend Damien High School.

St. John Bosco High School

• Private School

• 9-12
• 86

Senior: Bosco is a top tier school; it has a variety of different programs to create a unique experience for every student. The Pathway system definitely prepares students for collegiate success, by giving them a headstart into their career aspirations. I found that, due to the strong emphasis on academics and sports, students shaped into well-rounded young men—ready to tackle any challenge thrown at them. The overall atmosphere of the school is one of brotherhood and cooperation, grounded in religious value. Every single day is filled with academic success coupled with athletic success. The duality of academics and athletics creates an environment of individuality within the greater unit. I would strongly recommend St. John Bosco to any prospective student!

Parent: Wonderful experience so far. The additional tech courses are unique to high school experience to prepare for college and the real world . The disciple taught here builds amazing young men that will Only continue to grow in college . The small community brings the young boys close and builds life long friendships and experiences very different from a large setting . While providing a rigorous academic schedule, it competes with more expensive school in more affluent areas. Diversity seems to be improving which brings a more realistic worldly experience for the boys .

Verbum Dei High School

• Private School
• Los Angeles, CA
• 9-12
• 37

Junior: My experience in Verbum Dei is amazing. The teachers are ready to be there for you if you need help like I did and are in good position. I am a junior at Verbum Dei and so far, it's been an amazing journey throughout my school year. Next year, I shall graduate and Verbum Dei has really led me to a path to success. The challenge at Verb is to be men for others and they want you to strive above and beyond the curricular level. The school also is the only school with the Corporate Work Study Program, where students actually go to work and have an experience of what they'll do in the future. Another challenging course at Verb is their academic standards. The work as years goes will get harder and harder, but however this is a college preparation school. Overall, Verbum Dei will help you to succeed high school and enter the college of your dreams!

Alum: It is a great school that prepares men of color to enter college. I remembered a lot of my classes being memorable and the teachers were great! The school is slowly renovating their facilities, which is good. I remember our sports teams performing well. The food was so so, but you had to work with what was there. I wouldn't have seen myself going anywhere else.

Bishop Mora Salesian High School

• Private School
• Los Angeles, CA
• 9-12
• 89

Senior: When entering Salesian, you always hear the term "brotherhood." I can safely say, brotherhood is definitely in action at Salesian. The teachers could be replaced for more proficient ones, the sports could recruit better players, parents could be more active, but the brotherhood made it worthwhile. When you step on campus you truly feel home. Nothing beats the joy of going to school to see your brothers every day. The comradery is something special.

St. Catherine's Academy

• Private School
• Anaheim, CA
• K-8
• 2

Parent: My son attended the final two years (7th/8th) at SCA, and it was an absolute transformation in terms of character, leadership and maturity. My son was a distracted, entitled, immature, complacent, digital obsessed high energy boy, the typical smart under achiever. SCA transformed him into a mature responsible respectful leader. few caveats to keep in mind:
1. Academics. Wonderfully small classes (10 to 1 teacher ratio), where teachers work closely with the boys to ensure learning - parents are NOT expected to lift a finger to help. But don't expect the curriculum to be advanced top 1% stuff like Pegasus.
2. Tuition is not cheap and financial aid non-existent. But if you were planning to spend $15,000 per year anyway, there is not a better middle school for boys in all of California.
3. Objective of SCA is character and leadership, nothing less. If you want a school that coddles your child, this is not the school for you.
