The clubs and programs continue to get better every year. I have attended plays, games, and art shows here; all excellent quality. The staff is superior to any I have experienced elsewhere; from the custodians, lunch ladies, office staff, teachers, counselors, librarian all the way up to Mr. Mershon. I feel blessed that my daughter was able to graduate from here. Because of the caring mentors and helpful advice she received, she is now attending USC with a near full ride scholarship. This was something I never would have dreamed possible for our family and I am so thankful. My middle child is currently completing his first year here and has loved it, especially his band experiences. Sadly, we will have to move this summer and it will take our family out of district. I fought hard for the ability to stay but it wasn't to be. Even so, I hope that he will carry with him the seeds of success that, I know, they have already been planting. I deeply regret that my last child won't have any opportunities here. We will always be Staley proud!

Horrible. They initially tell you when you enroll your child that there is a "lottery" and if your…read morechild is not chosen they will be out on a wait list. After not hearing from them I decided to call. They lady tells me my child is number 89 on the wait list and I'd have better luck elsewhere. She was very rude and smug. I wish they'd told me my child had no chance of being picked because I had to take off work to do the initial tour, and then the open house. I also submitted the application the day they started accepting applications (which they say doesn't matter) needless to say it was a very time consuming frustrating situation. Looking around you see a predominantly "white" school. I think they choose who attends the school at their leisure, it's not a fair process and I am very disappointed that schools are allowed to discriminate.
