Those of you that personally know me already know I love writing reviews. However, I rarely write…read morereviews on schools and universities. However, for many reading this have probably watched (let alone heard of) the hit FOX TV drama "Beverly Hills 90210" that aired from 1990-2000. This takes me to "Torrance High School"; you heard that right, the school grounds were actually filmed in Torrance and not in Beverly Hills. And for those wondering, this was also the filming location of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" amongst other various TV shows and movies due to its close proximity to Hollywood. Since I was in this area for a private family event, this was not out of the way for my lady and I. The actual location of this school is at 2200 W. Carson St. in Torrance that happens to be in a relatively quiet and less congested area. It is tucked in between Crenshaw Blvd. and Western Ave. while the major freeways (the 405 and 110) are about a 5-7 minute drive away. Since we visited the school campus in the summer (on Friday 7/26/2024) as well as after hours (at around 6:30pm), there were no classes in session. I must confess, after watching the show, the campus has not changed much over the years and am guessing that the entire structure of the buildings have remain intact ever since being constructed back in the mid-late 1940's. I also had the opportunity to peek through the windows of some of the classrooms and I can tell they've kept a lot of the same desks intact for several decades. Finally, the outside courtyard area looks exactly the same as where the kids from 90210 once stood during their recess. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised with checking out "Torrance High School". The layout of the entire campus is quite large as the school can accommodate an average of 2,000 students during a normal school year (grades 9-12). And to all of you Gen-X'ers that were obsessed with this show, you will definitely not be disappointed. Just don't visit during when school is in session. Otherwise, I highly recommend checking this place out. My rating, an above average four stars.

Staff there including the principal at the time useless and did nothing and even said my daughter being physically pushed "is not bullying." We did everything to get help contacted school police and all they did was come down and talk to the same culprits over and over and it continued. They even had video proof of the student that started physical altercation towards my child during PE and also outside of school this group having "fight meet ups". NOTHING EVER DONE. Some of those same students went onto Torrance high and continued their actions and the school their had issues with them. The best thing I did for my daughter was remove her form this juvenile hall and got her a real education (online is the way to go!) She not only received better help with her education (she has an IEP) both elementary school Fern, and Madrona didn't help her at all even with their iep programs) why? Simple many teachers there general ed teachers don't have the professional qualifications to understand how to work with children like this instead they get angry and put down a child (yes it happened many times to my daughter throughout her time at both schools) And they are lazy. Teacher at elementary Fern would hand her a book put her in a corner and have her stare at a book for the entire class session. Madrona just blamed her for having dyslexia! My daughter beautiful and now well accomplished all A's and B's online high school, went onto college and professors adore her and will be recommending her to universities that specialize in History academics her major. She reads beautifully and way above her grade level and would love to be a professor or museum curator or librarian. She also hopes to help other children that struggle with learning difficulties. She firsthand knows what to look for and how to address it properly and kindly in a positive manner. She's a wonderful mannered and hard working young lady and guess what? The other group hmm well guess but you know the saying some things never leave a small town or achieve much.
