Laguna Hills
Laguna Hills, CA
Laguna Hills is a city located in southern Orange County, California. Located Off El Toro Road in the northern most portion of the city is the new Laguna Hills Civic Center and City Hall. This area also is home to the Laguna Hills Mall, bringing vast wealth to the small city’s finances by having a major mall in its borders. The mall is anchored by Sears, Macy’s, and JC Penney, but suffers by being in between the more upscale Shops at Mission Viejo 5 minutes south and the Irvine Spectrum 5 minutes north, both offering more shops in a more modern design. The mall caters primarily to the community of senior citizens, Laguna Woods Village.
Education
Laguna Hills is served by the Saddleback Valley Unified School District. Laguna Hills students attend a variety of high performing elementary schools, and for middle school attend either La Paz Intermediate School or Los Alisos Intermediate School in neighboring Mission Viejo. The city has its own high school, Laguna Hills High School, the smallest school in the district and one of the smallest in south Orange County with under 1,700 students.
