Bell Gardens High School 6119 Agra Street, Bell Gardens, CA 90201

"I really didn't have the best experience here. I'm not saying it was horrible but it could've been better. You have some teachers here who you can tell care about their job and their students and others who make you wonder why they haven't been fired. The administration is severely lacking in any thought towards what benefits students and what doesn't. There were numerous incidents that showed a lack of leadership. The food here is just not good. Obviously there are budgetary limitations but when you have an ASB who blocks the sale of "unhealthy" items for fundraisers but sale unhealthy items themselves, it really just seems like an excuse. The counselors here are just ..not good. They don't tell you what classes you need to take, they lie about college acceptance requirements, and they don't allow you to take the classes you want despite the policy of open enrollment for all. I honestly feel that I would've done better if I had had more supportive counselors. The school likes to boast a high graduation rate but the reason they have one is because they ship students off to Vail instead of helping them. You're better off going to one of the schools in Downey. If you're the type of parent who isn't aware and won't fight for your child's rights, this just isn't the best place."
