#19 Best High Schools for Athletes in Los Angeles Area
Junior: To begin, our STEM programs are top of the line, with teachers and faculty with incredible credentials, graduating with Master's and Doctorates from some of the best universities in the world. Most sports programs in our school are highly ranked in the state, if not country, such as cross country, lacrosse, (the football team is decent too,) volleyball, and soccer.
Now with the bad: Many teachers fail to properly provide adequate information about the subject in question. They may also cater to specific students, who tend to do better in the class, leading to the need to pursue extra help or tutoring. It is a high stress environment, with one of the most competitive school populations in America, leaving little time for the pursuit of self interests. The school also fails to prepare the average student for college and life, leaving many of us in a frenzy, trying to figure it out ourselves. Overall, I've had a nice experience in the school, most of it coming from friends and sports.
