One of the very few public schools that offers education from 6th grade to 12th grade. Excellent teachers and staff that care for the student's education. Emphasizes college and further education. In my class alone, 99% of the class went on to college after graduating high school.

LACES has undoubtedly had a reputation of one of the top schools in LAUSD. Over the past few years, however, I have witnessed the quality of the academic rigor in courses that aren't honors/AP deteriorate.

My son is in 6th grade and he loves LACES. I have been blown away by the principal, Dr. Kim, who showed up on a Saturday afternoon to support 6th and 8th graders who competed in the Science Bowl at Cal State Los Angeles. She attends so many school related events. The teachers are incredibly commited

The Sports Center is beautiful and the P.E. program allows the kids to swim, play tennis, basketball, and the like on a rotating schedule. The 'enriched' aspect allows the kids to take an additional elective and there are so many to choose from. It is truly a college prep school with 80 minute classes and a block schedule All in all, an excellent school and wonderful experience. My son is happy to go to school and LACES is why. Read less

Bullying and teasing are constant here. The administration can't be bothered to stop it, except to react to individual cases. They don't seem to recognize that a culture change is needed to prevent the school from finally losing any remnant of its past reputation. This school is going downhill fast.
