I think La Tijera is a great school. It may not seem like much but they try so hard. There are many programs in that school. They have the Debutantes and Gentlemens which helps them learn how to help the community and moral values. they also have the leap programs for afterschoolers and they have sports with many talented coaches. There are numerous of activites in this school. Many people disagree because they only see the outside of it all. The staff tries really hard to support there students. Before you judge a school ,make sure you know what your talking about! This is a great school for you kids to attend! (:
