"Hollywood High is a school that lives up to its standards. This is my third year here and all of the staff and students want everyone to achieve greatness. We are given opportunities that we may not be given elsewhere to strive to our full potential. Our teachers emphasis hard work and commitment to finish assignments when they are due and our counselor's are friendly and inspiring. Being a Hollywood High student is an honor for me because I feel comfortable and confident that I, as well as my fellow peers, will succeed to limits we never thought were able to be reached. The School for Advanced Studies is an excellent rigorous SLC here at Hollywood that allows many students to show off their strengths in ways that benefit the school. PAM, HNAS, MET, and many more at Hollywood give a aura of great minds to strive."

"This is an excellent institution of education and it only gets better. There is never a dull moment and the counselors are always helpful. No matter what grade one is, there is a level of respect enjoyed by everyone."

"Hollywood HIgh School is a very good school. Although in the distant past ( around the time of the 2007 alumni review) the school did struggle with many problems that plauge inner city schools it has grown into a excellant school. Hollywood High has changed from a multi track school( as it was in 2007) to a tradional calender with a very small student body of only 1,700 students. Gone are the days of 3,000 plus students who do not know each other or theere teachers. Now we have small learning communities with theme based learning. One of those small learning communites is the School for Advanced Studies which is the biggest school program on campus and has 537 honors and Advanced Placement students. We have almost no violence and we are known for our friendly and polite campus. Hollywood High School API is 729 which is the top high school in local district four and tip 12 in all of LAUSD including charters and Magnets. We have a wide variety of well funded sports, clubs, yearbook, newpaper and student goverment."

"My daughter attended HHS for her freshman year and LOVED it. The SAS program is wonderful and from what I saw going on in the other "learning communities" amazing. The staff is supportive of the kids and communicative with the parents. Even PDA is admonished! Surprising for a public high school campus! The kids are generally very respectful to each other and the adults. I spent the past 10 years trying to figure out how I was going to be able to afford avoiding sending my child here because I had heard about all the racial issues and it couldn't have been further from the truth, So hard in fact that the engine was already moving for her to be in a "top rated" small town school, which we're at now, and she's miserable. The academics are no better but she misses the diversity and the openness of the social environment. It may not be the richest school in town, but I have to say, its probably the sweetest."

"There are actually a lot of racial issues at this school I am an Alumni of the school (graduated in the year of 2007) and I have seen bad issues that were never brought up. There was a huge racial fight in the school while I was attending, some teachers are good, the magnet program was great. However, the drive to succeed within the students are extremely low. It is pretty much full of many aspiring actors, actresses, and singer but they cease to understand the importance of an education to back that up. Grades are horrible."
