What Lausd school should I attend?
I’m a junior living in East LA and looking to transfer for my last few semesters. I want a big, diverse school (2,000+ students) where there’s a strong sense of community and I can actually feel connected and make friends. I live in a pretty rough/ghetto area, so I’m willing to sacrifice for a 20–30 minute commute if it means attending school in a nicer area with a different environment. I’ve been looking into Eagle Rock High School and a few others. I’d also prefer staff who aren’t overly strict about like phones, tardies, and especially with dress code. I want more of a casual socal type vibe where wearing things like flip flops, tanks, shorts, etc. isn’t a whole issue. I’m hoping to hear from current students or recent graduates about their actual experience. What schools would you recommend?
