I went to Discovery all of high school. I loved high school, not because of this school. I wouldn't…read moresend my kid here at all. First and foremost, bullying is completely tolerated and handled as a joke. Teachers will literally HEAR people making fun of others, and don't send anyone to the office or hold them accountable. There was a "DP confessions page" made on instagram, where people would post rude comments and everything about one another. I found out someone had called me a slut and made fun of my dad passing away, and I confronted her (mind you, we only TALKED, never fought.) and I got blamed for it. Teachers play major favorites. Coaches especially. Coach Willy is the worst coach I have EVER had. He is nice to you for your freshman year, and then completely flips on you. He favors who he wants, no matter if they're good at whatever sport he coaches, and disregards the rest. The principal and everyone favors whoever they like. This one girl in particular, who I won't name, is favored by damn near every staff member even though she's always out of class ditching, hiding in the lockeroom for an entire class period, being out of dress code, etc. All because she was favored by the principal. Teachers act like they're still in high school and gossip with their students. The only reason this school even gets ONE star is because of the few teachers that actually care about teaching their students. Mr. Hagler, Mr. Flores, Ms. Han, Ms. Newby, Ms. Hemen, Mr. Curry, and Ms. B are the only teachers that don't play favorites (atleast that I've seen), and do their best to make sure students understand their work. Ms. Bagoyan didn't teach at all. She never truly grades anyone's assignments. She never helped us with work if we needed it. Her room is foul and smells like mold. She has a fish tank from my friend's experiment from 2 years ago that she has NOT cleaned and still has mold in it. I'm majoring in biological sciences at UCLA, no thanks to her. I had to study biology and chemistry at home because she never taught any of us anything. As for the office staff, Ms. A is a really good counselor and can work with almost any student. She is a really good person and anyone could tell. Student council is a major shit show now, it used to be structured, on schedule, and efficient when Mr. Hagler and Ms. Miller ran it, but now it's just complete unorganized because Dr. Smith , the old principal, couldn't handle students advocating for themselves, and she handed it off to Ms. Marquita, who is nice, but isn't organized. I have a lot of good memories at this school, but I wouldn't recommend sending your child here. Sincerely, someone who spent 4 years in this shit show.

graduated from Discovery Prep not too long ago, and honestly, it's sad hearing from my friends who…read moreare still there about how bad things have gotten. The staff play major favorites. if you're not one of the popular or "preppy" kids, you're basically ignored. They don't take action when serious stuff happens either. My friends told me about students smacking girls on the butt or even doing things in the Den, and nothing was done about it. They also completely ruined student council after taking it from Mr. Hagler and Mr. Miller, who actually knew what they were doing and cared about the students. Bullying and making fun of people still gets overlooked, and it feels like no one in charge really cares anymore. Dr. Smith, the principal, doesn't do much and just has Tony Sanchez handle everything. She even made comments about students needing to "speak English because it's America," which is honestly just racist and disappointing. Ms. Romero acts like she's still in high school herself and clearly favors the basketball boys and popular girls , it's weird and unprofessional. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because some teachers there genuinely care, like Mr. Hagler, Ms. Newby, Ms. Han, and Mr. Flores. They're amazing and deserve better leadership. But the only chemistry teacher, Ms. Bagoyan, apparently doesn't teach much, lets her class get gross, and literally uses ChatGPT for assignments. If you're thinking about sending your kid here, I'd say don't, unless they're already popular. The school's leadership has gone downhill fast.

The teachers are awesome wish I can give it a five star! But I have to go with a 3 unfortunately…read moresince Ms.helm-Torres left the school has gone down! Billing isn't taken seriously with either principals! Ms. Gonzales doesn't care if a kid gets bullied! Idk why she's even the vice principal and Ms. Galan is worse both need to be fired. Ms. Galan didn't even do nothing when my niece got bullied by her classmates.. and now there's fights constantly on both middle & elementary sides! Since both principals won't do anything just sweep it under the rug! Before she took office I would never receive constant calls from them about incidents!!! If she really cared about the kids safety she would've done something to stop the bulling and the constant fights! "Our students safety is my top priority" yeah right sure shows it is with the constant bullying and fights going on LAUSD needs to fire both Ms Gonzales and Ms.Galan!!!

ArTES has the most incredible teaching and administrative staff ever! Each teacher takes an active roll in not only your child's education but also in their emotional well-being. Differences are embraced here, never shunned! The principal, Mr. Lawler is always approachable and always has time to give you. Teachers like Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Solomon, Mrs. Naturman, and Mrs. Jaeggi have been like second moms to my girl, and I can never thank them enough for all they have done for her! I would recommend CCLA-ArTES to anyone and everyone!
