La Mirada High School

Posted April 3, 2009

I believe La Mirada is like many public schools. If the parents are not actively involved then the child will not do well. If you have no extra time for your kids then put then your better off putting them in a private school. From my daughter's friends 3-4 went to U.C schools, 3-4 to Cal State schools, one to MIT, and 2 went to well known private religious universities so I guess that shows that La Mirada can deliver good students but its is a team effort. If you cannot put in the time and the child is not self motivated then they need to be in private school where you pay money for the school to be much more involved.

I have two kids attending La Mirada High School right now. Both are doing very well and have had some really great teachers. Of course every once in a while they might get one that is so-so, but the majority have been great and great influences. My kids counselor is Ms. Ngyuen, she is FANTASTIC! She is really on the ball and cares very much for students and seems to love her job. Mr. Graham in the Career Center goes above and beyond for all the students who want to proceed onto College, making sure students get their testing done and filling out applications...thats what its all about. I feel very comfortable knowing that my kids have a place to go and ask questions regarding their future. La Mirada High gets an A+ as far as I am concerned. And I really am just a parent!

La Mirada High School is a great place to be. Keep in mind that parents are the first educators and by the time children enter high school they have already established certain study habits and self-discipline that was allowed by their parents. My child has had a very positive experience at la Mirada High School. His counselor, Mr. Hallum., as gone over and beyond to make sure my son knows the importance of education and how to deal with life decisions. Thanks, Mr. Hallum, for being a GREAT role model to all our young men in the making. You are an inspiration to our son.

I have just read most of the reviews on LMHS. I have a senior and my eldest daughter graduated from LMHS last June '07'. I have to say that overall this school is better than the one my daughters attended in their freshman and sophmore years, but my daughters chose to make the best out of school and have done very well academically. I am not at all happy with their counselors or principals. I have to agree with what some of the other parents have said about lack of involvement the staff show the students. My daughter attending now is involved in everything and has the drive to do well. This is because of us her family not the counselors. There diffinitely has to be a change from the top.
