Beyond impressed with the leadership of the school, rigorous academic structure balanced with nurturing children to be empathetic and good citizens, as well as the small, tight knit community feel. We looked at every private school with the intention of going private, but after hearing Principal Julian speak and meeting other families, we wanted to give our neighborhood public school a try and so grateful we did as our children are now supported by their community and enriched by the experiences, teachers and curriculum provided by Loyola. I only wish my friends in other LASD schools could experience what we have, Loyola is one of a kind! Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
