There is a strong caring relationship between the teachers and students. They are encouraged to achieve their best academically and explore their potential through many electives. Our commitment has been acknowledged by increased enrollment, test scores, and students' enthusiasm for their school. We are the change!
The best academic teachers I've had were Mrs. Smith for Honors 8th grade US History, Mr. Elmore for Honors 8th grade Science, and Mrs. Rhee/Kim for 7th grade Pre-Algebra. All three of those teachers have always elaborated on the subjects they teach, and are always delighted to explain or help with something that is misunderstood. These teachers create challenges with a reasonable amount of homework which helps understands concepts of the CST tests. However, a vast majority of the teachers at LV are not in the same league as these teachers. With certain teachers at some point, you d have to teach it to yourself and deal with it. Academics could definitely be improved. Also, the kids there are very hostile and rude. I believe that the rules should be stricter to where that could solve the problem. Overall, it s a good school, but I d still like to see improvements.
I'm an 8th grader and ladera vista and overall lv is a good place. The teachers that i really enjoyed was miss. goettinger, miss trauscht, mrs. tavera. my math teacher gives us two thru 3 pgs of h.w. a night she explanis it well and we take note ( mrs. tavera). the problem at lv is that for sports they should give everybody a chance they give the same people. And thee really strict about discipline and dress code...
I am currently going to Ladera Vista junior high. I think that this school isolates the students to much. I mean the only sport we can play for lunch time is basketball! Also some of the teachers there are very rude including the staff in the office. I think the principal is very nice and some teachers are nice to but there can be improvement.
