La Mirada Academy

I went to this school from TK-8th grade. My whole elementary experience was at Alvin Dunn and it was perfect. Teachers looks to always be happy and had a very great environment. I learned a lot and they school had a high budget so we went to a lot of field trips. I was the second wave of "middle" schoolers and for 6th grade we have a brand new building/school called LMA. We started to have some problems, there were a lot of fights/drug problems. I honestly don't know why they made the school into a K-8th, biggest mistake the school district has done. I recently received news that many of my old teachers from both elementary, mostly middle school teacher have quit due to bad management/quality of the school. The school isn't IB anymore because there have been no results from the program and it costed too much money. I do believe that there is still hope for this school if they get better staff to put the school back on track. If you have kids attending this school, tell them to be respectful to the teachers/staff, they don't get paid enough and they already do too much for the school.

Very wonderful school with amazing staff. My child has special needs and they do a fantastic job meeting them.

We love La Mirada Academy! This is our 4th year here and we’ve had great teachers every year. Our daughter excelled during virtual school, and didn’t suffer the setbacks that many have nationwide. The school keeps us informed. We love the IB programming and all the resources at the school.

Ive had several friends go to this school and were very traumatized by it, the work was ok, but it was the management that suffered greatly. I once volunteered here with a group and we pledged to never go again, not only were the PTO rude and disrespectful, but the teachers themselves were too

We love everything about La Mirada Academy. Great teachers and a great atmosphere. The rating is inaccurate and not fair.
