      Seven comments about Alliance Dr. Olga Mohan High

      Eagle Rock was the school I was supposed to attend but my mom chose this school instead without me knowing about it. I was very mad and upset because I thought the school itself was ridiculous(because of the size and location). Throughout the years I adapted, met new friends and came to like this school. I liked the environment and I felt safe.Teachers care about their students,and are really cool(especially senior year=). Its small and it sucks I have to admit but apart from that its one of the best schools and i strongly recommend it. Today I am proud to be part of this charter school.I am on my way to finishing senior year and go on to college.

      this school is one of a kind. i mean it has its problems for example the Principal doesn't listen to what you have to say if you get in trouble and they have useless rules like tucking in your shirts but over all this school is strive for greatness through test scores. my rating for this school will be 3 out of 5.

      This school is actually a top 5 school in LAUSD in standardized testing. Students and staff are great. All students have goals of graduating AND GOING TO COLLEGE.

      hello im a student of this school and i just wanted to say that i take pride in this school and its a great school to attend. i could have gone to santee, but this school got my attention and since then my academic status has significantly improved. the teachers are reasonable and easy to relate as well as friendly. sometimes i see my history teacher take the same train as i do. in my opinion this school is a must when choosing a high school to attend =) oh and lastly, the majority of the population which is hispanic/latino/chicano is making a difference and demostates that we shouldn't be taken lightly or underestimated

      I went to this school and kicked me out for no reason. The excuse of the principal was that i had not tucked in my shirt. I left and I went to El Camino High School and graduated a year earlier. Thank You CRAHS#4

      My son goes to this school and it is great. But the only thing that I dont like is that he has to take the public bus or metro. All the way from highland park. I wish they had a school bus for him.
