It accepts students from Highland Park and Cypress Park. Why? Because they have too. It has nothing to do with acceptance.
Acceptance rate 100% WRONG!! Just ask the Vice-Principal that tells older students "you don't want to come here, do you? Your too old. You will not graduate until your 25." Just wonder if that fool is still working there. Probly is, knowing LAUSD.
