My son is an Honor Student at La Habra High. At LHHS, it s all about the students! Whether it s academics, sports or any of the other various activities that the school offers. Communication is top notch. With both the website & marquee being kept current and up to date. This past month, there was an
... Read more incident with a student. The information from that incident was out within a few hours to parents. We knew what happened and where. I get weekly emails from the teachers, telling me what is due & what the class has done during the week. There's an Open Door Policy for the Principal or Assistant Principals. Also, a new Aeries program, which was installed in 2008, to tell us all about our students. Make a difference in your students life - get involved! Read less

This school has basically no communication. Report cards and progress reports are mailed to you 3 weeks after the date on them so it is too late to do anything by then. Most teachers won't email or call you back. I had to go to the principal to get anything done or any answers. There website is rarely

The Heritage program has group projects that 1 person usually does because no one else will show up and participate and they all get the same grade, its a joke. This happened with every project this year. Teachers are not caring except for their paycheck. Everytime you turn around they want money for something else like you are just supposed to keep giving and giving. Read less

Good counselors, good math and science department. The MBA and Heritage programs are good. The school puts on amazing theater productions twice a year and the football team consistently goes to CIF. If your child is an AP student or attends choir classes he/she will be with a good set of kids. The

As with any school, you get out what you put in. My son loved the automotive and metals classes that were offered at LHHS.
