Unfortunately for Dolores Huerta, one major issue brings this school and otherwise dedicated educators down.. Principal Octavio Casillas. His temper is uncontrolled and his attitude toward students and parents is alarming. I have 3 children I. The public school system and all 3 are honor roll students (my children are never in the Principals office for the wrong reasons) and I have been treated unfairly and by this "lawyer gone teacher". If you do not meet the racial preference of this Principal, good luck. If it weren't for this year being my daughter's last year in Middle School, she and I would have removed her and placed her in a school where she could be academically challenged according to her needs and treated with more respect. The school seems more focused on their Mariachi and Ballet than education. Unless this school is an only option for your child, I would highly discourage attending LADH.
