This school is horrible not safe.This school has a group of kids running around threatening and beating kids up like its a gang territory.The school is not safe multiple fights last at least a minute and the adults do nothing but watch the kids get beat.The discipline is horrible they let these kids get right back into the school.I am a victim of harassment.They cornered and threatened me and when me and my mom went and reported it to the school the school didn’t do nothing and tried to instead frame me for calling them cuss words when I didn’t do anything like that.Also, a few weeks later they brutally beat a kid with multiple people while adults just watched.They did this in a public hallway with a bunch of kids and adults in front of the media center.The school suspended the kids for a week but they are back acting like nothing happened because nothing really happened and they wasn’t effected in any real way cuz they don’t care bout they education.The school don’t make any real effort to make them care either they basically gave up on them kids.This school is horrible and I hate it I wanna transfer not safe don’t send your kid unless you want to put them under threat in a unsafe place.

Homework: They do give more homework than I’ve heard other schools give, however, throughout my years attending this school they have been decreasing the load as per parent complaints. I experienced a lot of stress with the homework load 4-8 grade, but time management and self advocacy were highly valued, along with student emotional/mental well-being, so I always received any adjustments I needed through compromise or simple communication. The content of the homework was really good. It wasn’t just worksheets and busywork, but creative projects and assignments that were very stimulating and dived deeper into the subject. Every assignment was to learn and understand, not just to have something to grade. For parents of future or current students of this school: when homework gets overwhelming, encourage your child to talk to their teacher about it or use it as an opportunity to teach productivity or time management. These are things the school heavily focused on, but it still took time for us to grasp the concept of being responsible our academic careers.Teachers: The teachers are excellent and very caring. They teach their classes well and are always open to providing extra help with any challenges a student may have. Both academically and emotionally, these teachers are very supportive. Not every teacher and student can click, so if your child is unable to make a connection with one teacher, they are exposed to many other adults in the building that they can seek for help.Leadership and Character: Teachers and staff exhibit leadership and teach it to students. LP is very community-centric, so having and making leaders is critical. I left this school understanding that the main quality of a leader was not to attract followers, but to create more leaders. LP builds strong character in students by providing opportunities for self discovery and lots of role models in the community. They teach kindness, courage, and self-sufficiency.Learning Differences: Accommodations are always made for disadvantaged students. Students with learning differences always had teachers with them and were involved in classes, but students who just fell behind in class did not receive as much attention as they should have. Bullying: I didnt experience much first-hand, but I wont ignore that it was present in this school as much as any other school. Teachers take care of it when it’s reported and we have anti-bullying assemblies to combat it.

My experience as a student at this school is honestly a 9/10.The teachers are really respectful and often teach in an engaging manner,and there is not one teacher who treats you bad in this school and they are often supportive and responsive to many of the things you say, with little to no bias.The Advanced classes or ''discovery classes' here have great teachers and great students overall, Eisenhower allows you to see your grades on 'infinite campus' at ANY time which is great as it pushes you to show concern for your school work.There is little to no bullying except the occasional bad apple and teasing (which thankfully, many students can take) and the clubs and activities are often well organized.The only 'issue" with this school is that teachers for 8th grade may get a lot more strict, and there would be a difficulty curve as they are now preparing you for high school.Out of all the schools in the district, they by FAR are the best in LA and are fairly good in math and their advanced math classes, so there's no worries there.Overall, this school is great and I would definitely recommend going to this school or moving near it if you are planning on doing that.

I went here when I was a kid. Great experience, and very nice teachers. They have very balanced discipline, but I do remember teachers having mental breakdowns if we were really bad. Also, the lunch moms were kinda mean. Other than that, the principal was really welcoming and they exposed us with kids with disabilities which was great. We made new friends. If your a parent worried if you have a kid with a disability. Don't be. This school has everything you need. I wish I never moved out of this school. Totally recommend this school.-Ivan H
