Loyola High School

It’s been two years since my last review and my two sons are now attending Loyola. Now that I have an «insider» perspective, my regard for the school has only increased. School officials and staff/​faculty at Loyola are available and responsive. Their community service and ministry departments have been wonderful to deal with. The fact that we are not a Catholic family has not been a hindrance in feeling welcomed to the Loyola family. I am looking forward to the next several years as a Loyola parent.

Excellent institution with long tradition. Loyola has a strong sense of community with purposeful learning and excellent teaching while providing competitive athletics and other fantastic co-​curricular activities.

My son is in his second year and is loving this school. There is a strong commitment not only to academic achievement but to community involvement. The school attracts boys from all economic classes and races. The campus is beautiful, but even more beautiful is the spirit of the school.

As a kid I had no idea that I was making perhaps the most important decision of my life when I chose to attend Loyola. Others here speak of the rigorous academics. I comment on the social aspect. Attending Loyola is a life decision, one that connects you with unbelievable people that you will associate with for the rest of your life. After having graduated 30 years ago, I still contact one of my many Loyola brothers whenever I have questions or issues to work out. They are always there for me and I am always there for them. A brotherhood!

Best damn school in Los Angeles. It’s more than a school, it’s a second home. I would never attend anywhere else. They sculpt the whole man, rather than just focus solely on academics like most schools. Don’t get me wrong, Loyola’s academics are top notch, producing some of the best numbers in the country, but there is also a huge focus on community service, athletics (rated top boys athletic program in the country by ESPN Rise), proper etiquette, social skills, pride, etc. The school was established in 1865 so the alumni community is massive. I was once wearing a Loyola shirt in a Mexican restaurant in San Diego and throughout the night I had 6 separate encounters with graduates of the school. One older man, maybe 80 years old or so, asked me to do the school chant (triple L) with him for his family. This sparked a conversation and his son gave me an internship over the summer. Loyola is a place to be proud of and everyone who attends the school can vouch for that. Loyola is truly a special place and I strongly recommend it for all!

I love the fact that Loyola is on Unilocal… hilarious.
Without a doubt, best high school in LA. Alumni is so strong, I always feel part of the school. Even 25 years later.
Send your son here or send him to _​_​_​_​_​_​ (fill in whatever second best school you want).

Just ran across this. I can say from personal experience that this is the finest high school in Los Angeles — though Notre Dame might disagree. The education I received there was exemplary. However, I sometimes feel like i spent as much time in the principals office or memorizing poems as I did in class. LOL. Had a great time, great teachers and great class mates. The Jesuits totally prepared me for college. Graduating the class of ’62, have never been able to afford going back to the reunions, missed a gold diploma for the 50^th one, but, oh well, life is not always fair, however it is life. This high school, my Alma Mater, is and will always be close to my heart.

One of the best damn college prep schools in Southern California, probably in the nation. This school makes the transition from high school to college so seamless, you won’t bat an eye at the college workload when others are busy popping veins in their foreheads from all the stress.
They prep you really good, from becoming a young boy to a solid man. They teach you strong fundamentals inside the classroom, on the field, and in mass (if religious is part of your pie graph). Let me just say this: You don’t have to be a Catholic to attend this school, or believe in JC. LHS teaches you about faith and literally being a «man for others.»
That’s something that’s just lacking in today’s world, let alone school. It won’t break the bank, and you get much more than just a HS education. You get a lifetime of learning, friends, and support.

Hands down the best high school in LA. If you have a son send him here or settle for something less. You’re choice…
GO CUBS!

Great things happen here — since 1865

If I were a boy I would go here, no joke. I attended a private school in the Valley because it just made more sense. And there was one little problem about me attending here: I’m a girl. Anyways, this is besides the point.
I had some friends that went to Loyola and they loved every moment of it. Yes, there are some guys here where the money goes straight to their head and there are some great, genuine guys here. It’s located in LA and if you look around it’s probably not in the best neighborhood. But the campus, is BEAUTIFUL. They have a really great sports program and their academics according to my friends we tough, but fair. Many of these kids go on to college, and that’s all that a parent wants, right?
And girls: there’s hope for you! When I was going into my 8^th grade year they had a summer school program where girls were allowed to go. And, also, when I was in their program there was also an SAT program where girls could attend over the summer. I’m not sure if they have it anymore, but, I’m glad I went over the summer to it.
Needless to say, any parent that is thinking about sending your son, send them here! I think it’s worth every penny!

Yep, it’s an all boys Jesuit prep school. And yes, you’ll miss not seeing a pretty girl on campus.
But, Loyola High School is an institution whose faculty and staff will provide you their best, and give you a step up for a successful college career. Unlike other private schools in Los Angeles and Orange counties, this prep school won’t cost you an arm or a leg.
Go Cubs!
Go Trojans! Fight On!

They had the hottest boys come to my high school (Immaculate Heart) dances (way back in the 1980s). Grrrrr… They could sing pretty well, too.
I don’t know what the boys look like nowadays, since it would be kinda bad form to cruise the campus at my age…

A lot of my friends from LMU attended this school, and we could relate to the lack of females on campus and general indifference when it came to our attire. Most of the dudes from here are chill, but of course you’ll run into the stereotypical jock and the spoiled white boys who think they’re the shit because their dads own a couple of restaurants and can afford nice cars for them. Loyola is probably one of the best campuses I’ve seen for a high school, and they are well known for their athletics. Shame we weren’t in the same league, I would have loved to play these guys in Track and Field. Oh well, wishful thinking.
