The thriving neighborhood school is still alive and well at Hope. My daughter will graduate this year after 7 incredible years walking to a school with experienced and dedicated teachers, small classes, Halloween parades, culture days, field trips, incredible specialists for art, music, pe, stem, and library, and an overwhelmingly positive environment overall. We will really, really miss Hope!

I would definitely not recommend sending your children here. There has been more than one incidents here. Recent one affected my sibling. She was harmed and threatened. Coming from a public safety family and in public safety I am highly disappointed in the administration. La Colina Admin failed at preventing something that shouldn’t have occurred and should have been resolved and watched. We met with La Colina Admin several times over this past year to prevent anything from happening. They are mandatory mandators and did not call police. Instead I contacted family in law enforcement and we took it into our hands. La Colina does not report when fights happen on campus, they do their own internal investigation. They tend to hide it so that they get more kids to come there and they receive their yearly grant money. This incident was uncalled for and 100% preventable.
