The only real problem areas are the ones with high concentrations of hispanics because there are so many moving in every month that they just can't build schools fast enough to keep up with the increasing population.

In LAUSD, students speak more than 80 different languages.
Over 40% of students in LAUSD are classified as English Language Learners, with 94% of these students being Spanish-dominant.
the teachers cannot teach because here you HAVE to know like 4 languages to be able to reach any one group of kids... more startling stats.
One of the largest budget cuts will be to the increase of class size. The LAUSD will save about $48 million by increasing the average class size for 4th-12th grades?bringing many classes to 40 or more.
While the budget will be cut about 8%, the number of students enrolled in LAUSD will increase by over 13,000 to almost 750,000.
