"I love LPS because of the people, students, and teachers. LPS is a small school so the students that you interact with, you get to really bond with and make great relationships. Every single one of my teachers are good and are willing to run the extra mile to see you succeed."

"I chose LPS Oakland because. I wanted to start my educational journey to college and focus on academics and participate in extracurriculars. One thing I love about LPS is the ability to bring all students from different backgrounds together for a common goal (college)."
