    They need to consider replacing Principal Ricardo Brown at Ross Middle School. I have had one interaction with him and I have never been so insulted. If there was a principal that is full of himself it is him. My son is scheduled to attend Ross in the fall and my wife and I are considering sending him to a Catholic school.

    Beware of Ricardo Brown.

  • Roosmoor says:

    Cerritos and the ABC is not a diverse culture.

    Community is primarily an Asian culture, because of Asians are so Frugal, they have brainwashed kids into trying to graduate from Whitney High School, as Whitney High School is one of the few high schools in the ABC School District which has a fair amount of students accepted into four years universities. Cerritos High School, Ghar High School, Artesia High School along with Tracy HS , have some of the lowest data for being accepted into four-year universities. Many students either checked out & or transfered to other districts, as they hate Whitney Nerds and want fair chance to being accepted in to University.

    Check some of the other high schools surrounding ABC Unified School District high schools, reflects a higher percentage senior students who get into into the universities.

    When was the last time, CCC ever spoke about Tracey HS, maybe once a decade?

    My family has history of being educators and knows what it’s like to sleep their way to the top, it’s very common: Newbies all the way to the top of administration. Straight and gay teachers, both sleep around, look at the hi number of abortions in the ABCUSD Teachers unions and check out their health cards, hi ratios of VD,

    Believe me, if we did not have Whitney High School, we would have a more equal diversity attendance to the ABC Unified School District.

    It’s too bad at the heartland of America does not want to be associated with ABC School District, they would rather go to Los Alamitos School District, Downey Unified School District or other such as Long Beach School District.

    Question: What does the ABC School District do for the Jewish community, blond wana-be models, for the gay and lesbian parents & children, sports minded fields, as other schools do plenty, ABC does nothing. OMG Sports: 0/skiing; 0/surfing; 0/auto shop; O/Horticulture-farming; 0/ 4H Club and so on.

    Now lets talk divorce rate, ABC grads covering the first decade post graduation, have some of the highest divorce rates in all of North OC, because the Asian have not learned to socialize, dirty parent’s, brain dead to property ownership, etc.

    Gardena fell to Asians, asians raped the city and all fled to Cerritos. Many Cerritos asians have raped the schools district and housing; now fleeing to other NOC cities, to rape them too.

    Final comment, teachers who have been employed in the system for 25 yrs, should have least traveled the USA, earned sabbatical; so they can spread the word about the history and roots of the USA. White kids travel USA and abroad, Chinese kids only read and fantasist about world travel, as parents will kill them if they earn anything less (A)…………but parents drive Mercedes and incest is rampid in all Asian immigrant compounds. .

    When was the last time asian parent attended childs sport team or sat in on local PTA and other parent-teacher guilds???? Never! When was the last time Asian Parent walked their child, biked w/ their child or just loved and played with their child?

  • Special Need Principal says:

    My family once lived in Cerritos and used ABC School District for few yrs. Forced to leave, yes the neighborhood changed to Asian, crime followed, plus the neighborhood was filthy. A lot of non-owner-occupied rentals. We had one murder, we left following month.

    ABC School District was not teaching my four children correctly, as I am employed as a teacher in La Unified School District. We moved from Cerritos, to a section of Long Beach , / Seal Beach. That was a great move, the house is older, the neighborhood is far superior to Cerritos, and we also have both worlds, police protection from both Long Beach/Seal beach, both far superior to Cerritos Sheriff. We still have the orig owners living on the street, from far back as 1960’s.

    My 4 children graduated honors from Los Alamitos School District. My kids were not even making a level education in ABC School District. My 4 red haired children, were not accepted by asians students from get-go.

    Been employed as an educator for more 30 years, I have invested in both education and travel, so I can hold the position I am in today, the principal of multiple schools in Los Angeles City. I feel for any teacher in ABC, you not only have to teach Asian students, but try to be class counselors to every Asian parent, as they all want teachers to cheat and lie and hand out grades to their dumb children. Asian parents are out of control!

    ABC and Asian had limited social class for afterschool participation and hobbies. Asian sought after school learning centers till midnight candles were burning; not social functions to make them better: Boy-Girl Scouts, Sports Leagues and 4 H Clubs.

    All educators make teaching a lifelong profession, must further their education and their travel, so they can be top wage earners & give the best education to the students. ABC School District back in the 70s, did not promote females into upper management, that is why I never even started working at ABC School District, it was a dead end Road for women. ABC did not finance sabbaticals, for teachers to apply to. Sabbaticals are must to advance our minds. Union in ABC was weak compared to LAUSD Union!!! Still is today.

    Looking back, glad my 4 children really received a great education from Los Alamitos Schools, as they learned about life from around the world and not only about Asians. Old saying when we lived in Cerritos, ABC was about the letter C, which stood for Chinese.

    I would never live nor teach in an area which was not 100% diversified: Racially, sexual orientation, financially, etc. Looking back over 3 decades of teaching, it is hard to teach any child, when their back ground from home, the parents are not degreed parents, nor speak strong english language. Degree parents, which both ma/pa teach their offspring, from birth, are much easier to teach and head towards college.

    CERRITOS NON-DIVERSITY POPULATION:

    Very lop-sided data at best, how can the students or residents learn and reflect from USA Values, when most of these students are first time immigrants, all hurdled together, like gold fish in pond. Monkey see, Monkey do syndrome. Need to import some new students from outlining areas, to digest some new attitude in to district. Anywhere in the world, when the immigration levels are this acute, social / skilled evolution will not be best effective for fresh parachute immigrants.

    For many years I’ve heard that over 95% of the students attending Whitney High School, come from the city of Cerritos. Why are East Lakewood and Hawaiian Gardens students never testing hi enough to attend Whitney HS? If this true, district needs to get some new teachers and principals in to the southern district.

    Always strikes me as odder then odd photo, when CCC gives out rewards to Valley Christian Schools during CCC public hearings, seems like the recipients are mostly white- blonds and no Indias or Asians.

    City of Bellflower attend Gharr HS, but never hear data if they are accepted in to the Whitney Curriculum.

    LCCN needs invite principals and superintendent to write some Q/A in this paper, to clear the air about the district/trustees. Even with the new district, seems to be vail over lot of non-answered issues.

    Disgrace how the district is maintaining the horticultural fields at Cerritos High School , nothing but dust bowl and weed patch. This is not an empty judgment, this is reality, students have none nothing for the betterment of this vacant lot.

    Scratch my head, why is there such non-even number of student-parked cars in the high school parking lots, seems the luxury sport cars are all staged at Whitney and Cerritos HS? Almost zero parked cars at Tracy HS parking lot, is that because DMV does not license bad students?
