In Demographics it is written" As of 2001, 75% of the student body was Hispanic and Latino. 14% was black and 7% was Asian. Other ethnic groups made up the remainder. Shouldn't it be 75% were White, Hispanic, and Latino? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:FFC0:39:800:CCFA:209F:41BA (talk) 18:12, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Los Angeles High reflects the ethnic and cultural diversity of the City of Los Angeles"

NPOV Violation? Statistically, it reflects the ethnic makeup of Los Angeles. I don't think so -- don't push an insignificant point. -- Tlaktan 08:01, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Los Angeles Poly High School[edit]

Was this school once known as Los Angeles Poly High School, or is that an alltogether different school? Can't sleep, clown will eat me 20:52, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That was an altogether different school. Tlaktan 00:44, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

This article is in dire need of some kind of reference source. Even one linking to the school's site would be extremely helpful. --haha169 (talk) 04:13, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correction[edit]

“Star and Crescent probably disappeared around the time of World War II, but it is difficult to determine the exact year since no one at the school today can say when it ended. In particular, no yearbooks were published during the years of America's involvement in that war, and it seems likely it might have disappeared during those years.”

I am sitting here at home with my yearbook S’42. It has a page devoted to Star and Crescent. It includes its officers, and faculty sponsors. Yearbooks were published during WWII. I have W’41, S’41, W’42, S’42. Sirswindon (talk) 03:55, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notable Alumni?[edit]

Vernon Dean was recently added as a Notable Alumni. Question: Is that because of his being a NFL football player or because of his use of crack cocaine? Does he really qualify as a Notable Alumni?Sirswindon (talk) 21:55, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is determined by Wikipedia's standards- Dean has an article, which qualifies him. tedder (talk) 01:41, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that the tag be removed from this section. Sources can be in the articles. GeorgeLouis (talk) 04:13, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Stack graduated from Los Angeles high school. I worked there around this time and they decorated his HS graduation yearbook and picture. You've left out about 25+ graduates of lahs. 2603:8000:1301:7914:FC87:995A:4A4F:11DE (talk) 19:05, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pound Cake Hill vs Fort Moore Hill[edit]

It is my understanding that, as opposed to captions and the text, the 1st LA High was on Fort Hill. It is the one in the photo labeled Poundcake Hill. The 2nd location was on Poundcake Hill. This is the one with the clock tower labeled in the photo Fort Hill. This site is now in Grand Park. Fort Hill is where the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts is now.
