If you have kids...don't move here!!!

Even if you could afford the overpriced private schools in LA, I would avoid this town like Sarah Palin avoids books.
LAUSD is amongst the bottom ranking of all school districts in the nation. They are over crowded, understaffed, inefficient with EVERYTHING. Now there are some options like the Magnet and Charter schools. Yet, try getting into one. Due to the thousands of applications for maybe a few spots at each school, it's like winning the lottery if your kid does receive placement. Special Needs kids better have parents with thick skins and lawyers on retainer. Personally, I'm thinking of leaving this overpriced filthy city. Not easy to do. I have been living here consistently since the age of 7 (I'm 44).
Used to be a great town for children. Avoid at all costs.
