La Costa Canyon High School

I wish my daughter had gone to SDA or CCA. Her bother went to CCA and it was an incredible experience for him and he got a great education.

Great academics, safe school, kids enjoy going there. However as a parent of a student on an IEP it's a struggle to get what they need.

My son is a freshman and didn't know anyone when he started school. He already has made some good friends (we are four months into the school year) principally because of marching band (the "Maverick Brigade". The band kids are a great group and the parent supporters are amazing. The band teacher, Ms. Mattison, does a great job with the kids. Other than band, everything is fine. The teachers seem good and my son enjoys most of his classes. I would encourage all parents to get their kids involved with something. There are many clubs on campus and being involved in something, whether it's sports, the band, theater, debate, whatever will really make their school experience much richer and more rewarding. There are lots of wonderful opportunities at this school.

My sons are doing great at LCC! Neither of my boys are jocks, stoners or straight A students and they never complained of being mistreated. They both love their school and I find that they are having an enriching high school experience. LCC has so many wonderful clubs and extracurricular activities to get involved in which I think is important. Teenagers need to be engaged to succeed and I'm seeing exactly that with LCC. I've also noticed that the teachers go above and beyond to help and encourage the students and that is so refreshing! Very proud to say my sons go to this fantastic school!
