Unfortunately, her leadership style was and continues to be a significant cloud over my high school experience and the current students. Instead of creating a supportive environment, she is consistently rude and seems to take pride in bringing down student spirits. She has a habit of targeting students and escalating minor, insignificant issues into major disciplinary actions. Her presence is a constant source of stress that significantly dampened what should have been a positive high school experience. The school deserves leadership that actually cares about student well being.

As a former student I am very concerned with the new incoming students transferring to this high…read moreschool. The school is very toxic and not just the students but the administration. This school is not supportive and does not take actions when there is problems within the school environments they are extremely unfair when it comes to senior class rules and limits. Since they did get Sued they are being unfair to class of 2026 by not letting the kids experience the last year of high school. Arevelo is a Vice principal who takes these actions very harsh within these kids which can be good but she's inappropriate with it. She acts as teenager and "gets along with everyone" by using now and days slang but when it comes to confronting someone she takes it above the appropriate line. There has been at least 7 teacher who have left within 3 years which is extremely devastating for the students who have to develop a new teacher and class room rules with work as well. The only good thing about this school is think together which is the afterschool program. They care and are always supportive when it comes to students real life problems. I do not recommend this school.

LAUSD is the safest district in…read morethe nation for kids to be in public school during this pandemic, and Brainard even goes above and beyond those district guidelines to keep the kids safe, & parents informed. It's a small school in a beautiful neighborhood. I've personally heard staff and principal lead weekly assemblies, and they use empowering language and examples which I am grateful my daughter is exposed to. This principle leads his staff and students with the ideals of the Golden Rule in mind. They talk about fairness and equality. They talk about diversity in respectful, factual, and age-appropriate ways. They do a lot of school spirit and community engagement/ service events. (Examples: Local H.S. Football games, spirit weeks, food drives).... I know I said it, but it's worth repeating , they are very good at keeping the parents informed... Not only about upcoming events, community outreach programs/ opportunities, parent surveys, how to get in on district meetings; but also have kept us very well informed about everything from Covid protocols/updates/ cases, to the day to day incidences that have happened during the school day . I've never been surprised with so much as why my kid has come home with a scrape on her knee. They are really laying the groundwork for creating a culture of accountability, kindness, safety, and good academics. It's November 2021 and during this time of the year, we can say we are truly grateful for this fantastic community gem. Go Brainard Bees!

Most of the funding only funds the robotics and cinema teams. Teachers do not teach and fail students on purpose and the administration has not done anything to fix the problem since they don't hear anyone out. We told the counselors about the issues they're having with teachers but they don't care at all and never do anything about it. I told my teachers before hand that I had a competition to go to and needed extra time to do the homework, I finished it and showed it to them and they said that apparently it's too late, it was impossible to finish all the homework they assigned, plus the extra homework they gave in one day so they gave me a zero. Kortoshian and Landisi ruined this school and they don't know how to run a school. They give you a ton of homework and tests which take away all your free time. No one deserves to go to this school.

I was originally intending for this to be a humorous review, but Andy O. has done a fine job…read moreoutlining the funnier points of the mess that is Anderson W. Clark Magnet High School. Clark touts recognition at the state and national levels for being a top school, and likes to promote its GUSD-leading API ranking, but let's be honest here, the bar is low. There are a few staff members and teachers who care about and do their jobs well, but on the whole, Clark is a case study on academic mismanagement and why many students in the American educational system succeed in spite of the schools they attend rather than because of them. As I sit here at 27 years of age writing this, I'm fairly happy with where I am in my life. I graduated from a top university and work at a job I love, which just happens to be with one of the most successful companies in history. I'm not trying to come off sounding like a tool here, but I want to make it clear that my success in these two areas commonly associated with a quality high school education came as a result of my own hard work, talent, and determination rather than anything Clark can take credit for. Thank you, Clark, for the 'innovative' curriculum that ended up being completely misaligned with the first-year prerequisites at nearly every U.S. university, the lack of any *quality* extracurricular activities, and your Draconian code-of-conduct which sought to stifle any sort of self-expression and created a culture hell-bent on breeding America's next group of mindless followers rather than its future innovators, thinkers, and leaders. On a more personal note, thanks for the 4 or 5 (?) suspensions as well. Like Andy Oh, I guess I too am a gangster. This review is getting too long and angsty already, so I think I'll end here. I will leave you with one last funnier memory, though. During one of its first years in operation, Clark was extremely excited to field a team for the district-wide academic bowl. Expectations were set high since, you know, Clark was full of nothing but the brightest students being coached by the best staff. End result? Last place finish.

graduated from Discovery Prep not too long ago, and honestly, it's sad hearing from my friends who…read moreare still there about how bad things have gotten. The staff play major favorites. if you're not one of the popular or "preppy" kids, you're basically ignored. They don't take action when serious stuff happens either. My friends told me about students smacking girls on the butt or even doing things in the Den, and nothing was done about it. They also completely ruined student council after taking it from Mr. Hagler and Mr. Miller, who actually knew what they were doing and cared about the students. Bullying and making fun of people still gets overlooked, and it feels like no one in charge really cares anymore. Dr. Smith, the principal, doesn't do much and just has Tony Sanchez handle everything. She even made comments about students needing to "speak English because it's America," which is honestly just racist and disappointing. Ms. Romero acts like she's still in high school herself and clearly favors the basketball boys and popular girls , it's weird and unprofessional. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because some teachers there genuinely care, like Mr. Hagler, Ms. Newby, Ms. Han, and Mr. Flores. They're amazing and deserve better leadership. But the only chemistry teacher, Ms. Bagoyan, apparently doesn't teach much, lets her class get gross, and literally uses ChatGPT for assignments. If you're thinking about sending your kid here, I'd say don't, unless they're already popular. The school's leadership has gone downhill fast.
