"I graduate in 2005 One of my best experiences was with the auto shop classes with Mr. Villarreal. I learned my basic automotive skills there with him and also learned how to start Metal Welding Skills.I moved out of East LA. in towards the middle of the United States now I’m trucking with a class a commercial drivers license. Thanks for all your support and your knowledge Mr. Villarreal. Keep up the good work it was a pleasure being one of your students class of 2005"

"The school offers many oppurtunities for an individual to grow and find out what their passions are, it is very accepting of anyone's unique preferences, and the teachers will work with you to make sure you stay on track and graduate. It is a very well-known school with many benefits such as AP classes, extracurricular activities, and events that will really help anyone enjoy their time in high school. Overall I loved my experience here and I highly recomend it for those trying to further their education and career."

"I attended this high school. If you're not part of the magnet program or take AP classes, for the most part the teachers are a joke. The sport program is decent, however there is favoritism. Security sucks. They have old ladies guarding the entrances and let all the people that look like parents in."

"I use to go to that school. My favourite teacher was Mr. Jeffrey Lee Garcia. Now I heard he is a librarian. I was an extra in the movie Stand and Deliver. That was our classroom they filmed in. I miss my old friends but i don't think they remember me. Now I'm a linguistic professor."
