Los Cerritos Middle School understands, values, and addresses the complex social, emotional, and physical needs of middle school students. Working as partners with their parents, we guarantee them a quality education through a varied, comprehensive, and rigorous curricular and extracurricular program designed to nurture ethical citizens and life-long learners. We continually strive to improve the learning environment and programs for all students.

Our Performing Arts Program (Choir, Orchestra, and Band) is a premier program in the District, the county, and the state. With over 450 students participating in one of these three programs, it has become a force at our school. Awards are not in short supply as all three groups have distinguished themselves with ""superior"" ratings and many County/State awards.

Los Cerritos Middle School is a Professional Development School with California Lutheran University – this partnership focuses on creating a shared, common vision of teaching and learning grounded in research and best professional practices. This program is a collaboration between students, our teacher candidates, school and university faculty, and the community for the benefit of our students.
