    "My education at La Canada High School (class of 1998, though I graduated a year early in 1997) was stellar. I learned how to learn, how to think for myself, and how to help others to learn. I am still in contact with several of my teachers from my time there (shout out to Mr. Carney, Mrs. Caswell and Mrs. Compeau!!) and fondly remember the strict, but compassionate dean of discipline Hope Ricewasser who was always there to guide us. I participated in Marching Band, Basketball, Drama, AP Classes, Language clubs, Science Clubs and always had things to do. I have to disagree with some of the other reviews here that say the kids are loaded up with busy work, or that minorities are not tolerated (minorities make up 41% of the school population) or that everyone is a snotty rich kid. Not only did my level of homework seem reasonable for my classes (even my AP science classes) but it wasn't "busy work", it applied to what we were learning and prepared me for college, where the homework load is much heavier. If you molly-coddle your children until they turn 18, they will not be prepared for life, which is what your job is as a parent. Homework and deadlines are part of life."

    "An over rated school that is insensitive to various ethnic and minorities in the neighborhood. The teaching professionals are quite stale in their tenure and have been in place for a long, long time. As such, not much improvements have taken place in their quality of classroom instruction. Exacerbating the problem is the student body from a neighboring community that is surprisingly exclusive in its intolerance for anyone or anything outside of the accepted norm. In the end, social interactions among various groups of students are quite limited. School cohesion is lacking and the overall experience as a child attending this school suffers. A very un-California like experience. Parents contemplating a move here should consider other school districts around the area like South Pasadena and San Marino."

    "i completely agree with the review below, this school scores well because of extracurricular tutors outside of school, the teaches and administrations is weak and full of politics"

    "Very over rated school. High scores are partially the result of parents hiring tutors. Math department is very poor. Many students skate through taking cooking and teachers aid. Other students are over loaded on AP classes that are mostly busy work. Teachers are no better than other schools and school administration is spotty. Good football coach."

    "If you have a special needs child, you will have to watch like a hawk, fight like a tiger, and be ready to sue the District if you don't get justice. 3 of my children graduated from LCHS, 1 in elementary, 1 in the HS. IQs 120-150. Special needs often have nothing to do with intelligence. If your child is "different" in any way, watch out for teacher ostracism. SpEd District Dept fights to keep down cost at expense of children. Thank God I had enough $ to sue them and get justice and get 1 of mine into a private school, to which children are entitled if the local public school fails them."
