Basically the only bad things about the school are the students, like this one kid (who I'm not saying his name for personal reasons) who literally just transferred here a few weeks ago like before state testing, he already stirred up trouble on his first day, he doesn't listen to the teachers and he's just acting like he's black when he's NOT, like you're WHITE trying to act like your in the hood. He also hangs out with all black kids which is crazy to be honest. There's so many other students that are bad. Also one more thing is the staff. Like for example there's like two staff that a lot of students like and I just think that's weird in my opinion, cause tell me why one of the two staff liked a students instagram post where they were wearing something revealing?? Like that's so weird you're a grown man liking a children's post like you should know better than that. And the other guy isn't that bad but the students at this school just be weird with him. So yeah I was bored so I just wanted to say this, thank you so muchie

Private, Catholic High School for boys…read more Located near the 105 fwy off Central, this school is small and enclosed to guarantee students' safety. The school is diverse with students of all backgrounds. There is a huge field for sports. As part of the curriculum, students are allowed to work in order to gain experience. The work days are on Fridays and they are dropped off at their employer's office and picked up at the end of the day and returned to school. This is a great way for students to gain experience and begin building a strong work ethic as well as a great resume. Because this is an all boy's school, events with other schools (all girl's) are held. Such events include dances through out the year. Verbum Dei is a great alternative for families who want to guarantee their child's success and who want to ensure that their student will get the most out of their education in a low-income area.

There is a basketball (and volleyball) gym in the building and the staff like to play against the students. Everyone also gets a free lunch at the school.

Overall, everyone is on friendly terms and there is no drama. It's a safe place to be and learn.

I'd like to just say this high school was horrible anytime I reminisce back im left with horrible memories and trauma from the treatment I got at this school by staff and students. Ms. Garcia, other desk staff, nurses, teachers. The way they single handedly were able to isolate specific students and give false narratives and get away with so much I was not the only one. My grades were straight F's although I loved school I was depressed here staff tried to treat me like I was a troubled child yet I was being harassed and not left alone by staff. They told me I would not graduate and I'd have to go to continuation school, not long after I transferred to Huntington Park High in 2020 I got straight A's and B's and thrived and graduated with my class of 2022 and actually was ahead in most of my classes I even exceeded past the credits that were required, etc. Please consider where you enroll your children.

I live across the street from this school. Let me tell you how much of a nightmare it is to live by…read morethis school. 5 days out of the week from 7:30am til around 5:30 to 6 pm (after school time), the students just scream. All they do is scream throughout the day. Sometimes the screaming is blood-curdling. I once had a visiting relative comment on this and they thought that the students were being attacked in some way. They weren't joking and were genuinely concerned to the point they thought we should contact law enforcement. I had to remind them that they do this every day, it continues after school in the after-school programs. Once, as I was going for a walk by the school, a student, possibly separated from his gym class made a very crude and offensive sexual remark at me (an adult) relating to oral. There were zero adults present and I had no idea how to report this as I was very far from the entrance of the school which is on Firestone. Not very long ago, about 2-3 months ago, a lone student behind the fence was just yelling, "n-er, n-er!!!" repeatedly for close to two minutes straight. The parents are self-entitled. They will block your driveway when it's time to pick up a child. They have been in my own experience combative and aggressive. In the mornings, the parents will play their corridos and Banda music very loud in a residential area. There is a female teacher who uses her megaphone throughout the day to talk to her students during what sounds like gym period. She is the only teacher I hear! It becomes such a nuisance as I work from home. This school makes it very difficult to complain as there are no online forms to fill out, no way to submit any sort of documentation. If I call, they tell me I could only file a complaint in person during school hours and where's the time for that? In this day and age where it's easier to access things via the internet, you still have to go in person. I have lived by this school for decades. This is far from a decent school. It needs a lot of improvement and consideration for the residents that live around it. (For some reason this review shows I am located in San Francisco. I live and currently am located in South Gate.)
