Overview
Unlike other high schools in the area, Loften is not a school where students are regularly zoned to attend and assigned. Loften remains a "school of choice" where students must actively seek the school out and apply as opposed to simply showing up due to location. While this ensures only students who really want to go actually attend, it also means that Loften has a very small student body. Because of this, Loften averages only 300-400 students in the day time. These students are divided among 24 teachers in a 4-period block schedule. In the community, it is noted for having a very liberal mindset and being unorthodox. It is a common rumor that Loften is a school for "bad kids" to be sent, but in reality has an average of one fight per year with very little other violations. For all ~350 students, only one dean is employed.
