Current hours are on school days are 6AM- 7AM and 3:30PM-10PM; on weekends & school holidays, 6AM-10pm. (Obviously, it's not open during games or meets.) Lights are kept on in the evening and the bathrooms are even open. Very glad to see the district allowing the public to use the grounds like this.

They only care about making everyone "average" instead of supporting students who want to push themselves and pursue higher levels of learning.

My kids have been in the Burbank district since kindergarten. While my son was in 8th grade here at…read moreDolores, he got his permit revoked 5 weeks before the school year ended. Burbank has a gang running through their schools who they protect, I came to the principal because about 8 Highschool gang members came to jump my son who was an 8th grader after school. The school never protected my son, when I came to the principal to discuss this matter, he claimed he knew who the gang is, in fact his friend coaches his daughters baseball team ( coach is from Elmwood). He said I'd made it worse for my son by coming to him. He said he'd do his best to look out for him after school. A few days later the district called and stated they are revoking his permit for getting in trouble and throwing trash every where at school which was completely made up. The principal even confirmed it never happened. The district lady also stated my son is doing drugs in the bathroom. Lying !!!! I was in disbelief, she said based on history of finding kids in the bathroom they are usually doing drugs. It says in the notes that he was kissing a girl in the bathroom, which led to this whole gang coming after him cause of said girl. She did the same to another kid who's always been in the district. The mom is still pursing a case against the district. Stay away from Burbank in general, especially middle and high school.

Our kids have been attending for 7 years now. The oldest is in the Burbank campus and the youngest…read morewill be there in a few years. While no place is perfect, we've found the school to be an amazing and beautifully cultivating educational experience for our kids. We've absolutely loved more than 95% of the teachers and while administration has changed a few times since we've been there, they've all treated us and our children with respect and warmth and have continued to push forward the founding principles and mission of the school. It's not easy to get in and we consider ourselves very lucky. The community there is fantastic and we're finding parents we absolutely adore from the other campuses now that our kids have collected in Burbank. The board is a very hard-working group of volunteers, many of them parents, some for 15+ years at the school. They put in an incredible amount of time and effort to uphold the school's mission and while that sometimes involves making tough decisions that not everybody agrees with, I feel that their hearts and intentions are in the right place. The school is very unique in the academic programs that they offer. In fact, there are only 4 or 5 others in the entire country that match it. The school offers an IB and an FB tract and the program focuses on growing kids from K through 12 towards an incredible university acceptance rates. In 2015, The Washington Post listed LILA as the nation's 12th most challenging private high school. Tuition is going up and some parents are understandably upset by it, but the school also involved a group of parents (CFOs, CPAs, etc.) for a formal budget review against a strategic plan and the budget was approved, so it wasn't approved in a vacuum. There was a 3-year projection of tuition increases but also lots of caveats to that as well as plans on how to reduce it. The school is growing and does have growing needs, but it's the same spirit and culture as when we started and if you're considering it, I highly recommend you visit the school and see for yourself. We love it there and couldn't recommend it more highly!

As far as I'm concerned, this is the best school bar none in Los Angeles. Bilingual immersion…read more(French-English, with Spanish as a required subject and other languages as electives), and top notch academics, a caring and extremely well-qualified faculty, nurturing yet no-nonsense staff who truly care about the kids in their care, and at the end of the day, incredible results. Students graduate from this school with either an IB (International Baccalaureate) or a French Bac, both very high-level diplomas that give the students 1-2 years worth of credits in university. The school's grads have an incredible 100% pass rate as well as 100% acceptance rate into top universities WORLD-wide - Oxford, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, McGill, just to name a few. This is the only school in LA where the students get to choose between the IB DIPLOMA or the FB diploma program. Don't let other schools fool you into thinking they are offering the equivalent in IB - they may offer various IB subject classes but the diploma is another thing entirely and university admissions counselors know this. The IB Organization in Geneva has strict diploma requirements on Higher and Standard level subjects covering both the Arts and the Sciences, a Theory of Knowledge class, an extended thesis essay and 150 hours of community service hours. At this school, ALL students take the IB or the French equivalent, the bac, not just a select few top students. The academics here are not for the faint-hearted! The secondary school moved last year from cramped quarters to this lovely campus in this equestrian neighborhood and the new facilities have pushed the school to a new level. All classrooms sport interactive SMART boards as well as white boards so that students can literally write on the walls! The faculty are highly qualified - either under the French Ministry of Education or the IB organization - the majority have high level degrees and/or teaching credentials. The administration is energetic, creative, efficient, and definitely have a clear vision for continuing forward. THIS is what a school should be.

We had very different experiences but Both were truly remarkable. This school has wonderful focus programs that almost no other school can even compare to. My sister and I personally did the media focus programs which gave us hands on learning experiences with state of the art technology, field trips to the nearby studios, and a sense of film making that many students don't begin to experience until the latter part of their college days. In addition, the staff at this school truly cares about their students. Over a decade later and if I run into a teacher, they actually remember me and ask about my friends and family. The classes are very focused and small in size. Students really great individual attention and the tools they need to understand and learn their materials. A special shout out to wonderful teachers like Ms Martin and Mr. Bullock!

Short of a "nice teacher" here and there, there are really no good things to say. They force the kids off to middle school in sixth grade and they choose to waste valuable class time by practicing a presentation on Hawaii that they then perform 3 times. (Mind you I was told last year that the hula dance is only for k-3.)One of these performances is during school hours. This is such a gross misuse of time and school resources. How about teaching our kids valuable knowledge, not some cockamamey hula.
