Build a new free ball field or maybe a new union hall and the neighbors wouldn't be complaining. I get their point though. Why build a high school that is needed only during a child's freshman year and by only 55% of the seniors since the rest dropped out?

Good Job

Smaller is better generally for school and this will keep more kids in school. The LAUSD looks like they listened to the community and created a smaller, more personalized school. Good job!

What a waste
|
I don't see the wisdom of POLA HS, SPHS and this addition.
What is the reason for this concentration of school facilities here?
SPHS should get torn down or renovated. It looks like a battleship in there.

Many teachers, students and parents have been complaining for years that all LA schools are over crowded and kids aren't getting the time needed to help them learn. There have been not enough seats or even materials for the students. LAUSD finally came out with a solution and people are now not wanting to build more schools. This is retarded. I am a product of the LAUSD and graduated from Narbonne in 96. It was crowded back then. Now will our kids in school there is even less room. We need smaller class sizes and more jobs for teachers. This is a great start.

It will be a magnet school all right, a magnet for traffic, pollution, gangs, local politicians, drug dealers and the like.

The people who don't want Angels Gate disturbed are selfish. It's the same old saw as when talking about half-way houses...not in my neighborhood! Well the children from your neighborhood need to go to school in your neighborhood. You all need to start putting up with the after school delinquency and traffic woes that the rest of us have for years. Enjoy the experience!

I give up

You Peedrans crack me up... Peedro is a trash strewn ghetto with high crime areas and trashy areas, industrial polluted areas, and yet Peedrans think they are too good to have any development whether it ne higher priced housing that will raise prices all over the area to a new high school. sheesh.

Anyone know how many kids are bussed into Pedro? If you build another school will they not just bus more kids in? If so, what will be accomplished by building another school?

Bussed
|
I heard at one of the meetings that there were only about 100 kids bussed into Pedro and they were some of the magnet kids. Most magnet kids at Pedro are actually Pedro kids. The new school should be the same.

The Palisades folks need to realize that the school is needed and is coming their way. Yes, if it were a dog park or a baseball field it would be welcomed. Everyone says they want to clean up Pedro, aee improved schools, etc. but when the opportunity is there it's a NIMBY mentality. Stop being so selfish and think of the kids.

Correction -- there is more then 100 students being buses into the magnet program in San Pedro... its more in the tune of 800 and climbing..... Why does San Pedro have to receive so many students outside San Pedro and in many cases on the furtherst part of LA... isn't gas at almost $5 a gallon an ineffecient way to bus student in from 40 miles away????
Oh by the way - South High High School #15 (at Angel's Gate -- between 30th and 36th St. off Alma) is planning to build a school that seats 810.... LAUSD knows there Math here...
