I can't answer your question, but I'd suggest that you ask a lot of questions about both schools. How long have they been in business? What percentage of entering students graduate? For the ones who don't graduate, why do they leave school? (If they are getting jobs in the industry, fine. If not, are they leaving because they've flunked out, can't afford to attend any longer, are transferring to other schools, or some other reason?) How many graduates have they produced? What percentage of those graduates are currently working in the field of music production? What kinds of jobs do they hold? How long does it take the average grad to find a job? What percentage of them are employed at graduation? What kind of salaries are they making? What kind of internships are available through the school? (This is important because it provides work experience and contacts in the business.) What percentage of students do internships? (If there are a limited number of internships, then you may not be getting the experience or contacts you'll need.) Do any record companies/production companies recruit at the school or are students on their own after graduation when it comes to finding a job? Is a four-year degree really necessary to become a record producer? Ask about the curriculum -- what would you be studying? Is the course load entirely oriented toward the music business or would you also be required to take math/English, etc. similar to a regular university? What are the advantages of attending that particular school vs. other school? You need to ask the hard questions of the admissions people rather than just being dazzled by the possibilities. You need to make sure that whatever school you attend will be the right one to move you toward your goal.

we're talking LA now it's not that safe lots of gangs drive by's stealing hmmmm it rlly depends what part of LA.

The biggest school district here is Los Angeles Unified School district and it covers many cities. I recommend that you go to a nice and educational environment. Don't assit any schools that are in Central or South Central area. Probably not any urbanized location since there is alot of pressure, drugs, and gangs. Note: Many schools that are nice do have pressure and drugs but it isn't too bad. The best thing to do is to enter a school in a suburban area. They are usually nice and clean. You other option is entering a private school.


3
LA is a big place and I canĂ¢€™t tell you ALL of the areas, but Torrance and Palos Verdes have really good schools that always rank high in the state and are in very safe clean areas. Your best bet is to find an area you want to live and choose one that has its school district that is not part of LA Unified. Also consider Orange County.

It all depends on the area and where you live. If you have a car or a designated/reliable driver. Then most schools well say OK, but if your asking for district bus transportation to a school you live nowhere near then they'll most likely say no and direct you to a school they know is near to you.


2
You would have to request a permit from the LAUSD or the school district where the high school is located. There are intra-district (in the same district yo live in) and inter-district permits (in a different school district). Look up info on the school district website. You would not be able to get a permit from Santa Monica, and Beverly Hills High, they are not giving permits for high school kids now. It is very difficult to get permits to desirable schools, as they are usually full, because people move to those areas for the schools. Look at the lists and then look at the district website for that school to see what you need to do to get a permit. It may not be possible. Also, you can look at the school's website to see if there is admissions info. Do it quickly, as some schools start looking at permit applications soon. Here is a list of high schools within 5 miles of 90066: http://www.schooldigger.com/go/CA/search.aspx?searchtype=1&zip=90066&within=5&level=3 Within 10 miles of 90066: http://www.schooldigger.com/go/CA/search.aspx?searchtype=1&zip=90066&within=10&level=3 Palisades High is also not giving out new permits now, either. Good luck!

I would recommend going to a local tutoring agency. Although they cost more than hiring a tutor personally, they guarantee a certain level of quality.Also, they offer money back, or free trial hour deals. The one I used was LA Tutors 123 and the tutor they sent me was great. Hope that helps!

She will likely have to go to her neighborhood school, it's tough to get permits into the top schools in the LAUSD, because lots of families in those neighborhoods have taken their kids out of private school and put them into public school, so they are filled to capacity. It's even harder to get permits to good schools in other districts, and LAUSD doesn't like to release their students because it means less money for them. There are some public charter and magnet schools, but it's not a sure thing that she'll get in. You can look up the ratings of public schools on the websites below. But some schools that have a wider range of students (so a mix of standardized test scores), or small schools within the school, can be quite good even if their rating is on the low side. Public School Ratings: http://www.greatschools.org/ http://www.schooldigger.com/ Unfortunately, even the top public schools (and I don't mean LAUSD, but better public schools like San Marino, La Canada, South Pasadena) really can't compare to the local private schools, especially the top private schools. So it will be an adjustment for her. If they have summer school (they may not), that would be a good way to get her acclimated to the change. Are you going to apply to private school and see about financial aid? There is more aid available in high school than in K - 8. You never know, it's worth filling out an application. (I'm surprised at some of the people who get aid, especially if the school wants the student, the financial cut off seems to be higher than one would expect.) Generally, only one or two administrators at the school are aware of who is receiving aid, and it some local schools it's up to 25% of the students are receiving some amount of aid. (Often the kids mention it to their friends, no one thinks it's a big deal, it's not shameful.) The Catholic schools in LA tend to be about half the tuition of the private prep schools, and some of them are very open to non-Catholic students, they may have 30% or more.

Type in your zip code, and it will show you the nearest public schools. LAUSD schools aren't very good, so if you can afford it, I'd enroll your child in a private school. http://notebook.lausd.net/schoolsearch/selector.jsp

There are several school districts in LA county, LAUSD being the largest. Santa Monica, Pasadena, Glendale, Beverly Hills and South Pasadena have their own districts, just to name a few. If you are in the LAUSD, look into magnet schools. They actually give kids a better education, much like a private school. LAUSD schools aren't bad if they are in an affluent area of the city.

The impact of the culture of the students, is that the students vary widely in their SES's (socio-economic statuses). That means, there are some really rich kids, some kids in the middle, and some really poor kids. Also, it's a huge school district, so the fact that it has so many cultures (ethnic groups of students) in it means the teachers have to teach kids who speak lots of different languages, which makes teaching them very much harder.

Why can't she just go to her local high school? School will be over for the summer long before the baby is born. If there is some reason she can't go there, she should still check with the local school. They can refer her to an alternative school, or a GED program.


2
She should go to the school district and ask to be placed in the local high school. Any school will accept a pregnant student-- the question is figuring out which school a person living at her address is supposed to go to. (That's the school that will provide free transportation; she's free to go to any public school she wants, I think, but only one of them will provide her with a schoolbus.)


3
If she is considering giving the baby up for adoption (and I hope so) then the adoption facility may be able to help her complete school.


4
What about some kind of a homeschooling program?


5
It seems to me she should be able to finish HS at the school she attends now. I dont think they can kick you out for being pregnant.

Here are some good links to check out to start looking for California schools that specialize in EMT Training. These are schools across the country narrowed down by program, state, city, zip, whatever you would like. It is pretty helpful! Take a look at some of these schools and see what you like. Technical schools are good because you learn exactly what you need to know and not stuff that you will ever use like at universities. You become an expert in your field. You will realize that your training will put you ahead of others interested in the same field. Good luck!!
