Los Angeles Center For Enriched Studies

Lynn J from Burbank, I think someone was seriously pulling your leg.
LACES isn’t perfect, they suffer from a lack of funding and resources like many public schools. However, there are some really dedicated teachers, administrators and counsellors building a community of kids who are inspired to learn. The student body is truly integrated and diverse. If you have a child who struggles, there are resources to help if you get in there and advocate for him or her. If you look past the few bad apples (students and teachers) and take an active role in your child’s education LACES can be a wonderful middle and high school.
Cons: food is awful, no football team, sports are meh, campus is messy, mascot is a unicorn (no really).

I was told by a student the white kids are having an after prom and black kids aren’t invited. If that’s true that’s pretty sad.
