School Reviews
2 12/5/2010
I was happy about the art and music programs but the teachers all seem to be rather indifferent towards the kids. I attended Las Lomas as a kid and thought it would be a good place for my son. He will only attend this year. They do not help the kids that are behind and the instructors have belittled him in front of his peers. We are very unhappy with the quality and level of education from this school compared to his previous school.
