La Quinta High School is a great school that is academically oriented and has a top ranking within the school district. In my experience, La Quinta has challenged me in many ways, pushing me towards improvement and full preparation for college. Although I believe the school could incorporate a more lively student-campus environment, the school overall is a place that I am happy to attend.
5/1/2024
The best part of La Quinta High School is undoubtedly the staff members. Teachers are supportive and want to see you succeed. However, a major shortfall of this school is the lack of preparation for post-high school pathways that do not involve attending college. Trade schools and direct entry into jobs after graduation are seldom mentioned or promoted by counselors.
7/24/2023
La Quinta High School is a school that values academics highly, as shown by its curriculum and choice of classes.

School seems well organized and divides students up by alphabet for counselors to ensur...

This school has many good teachers and many teachers that are just going through the motions. The administration is uninvolved with the students. The principal maybe knows the names of 50 student. The principal and the majority of his supporting staff are unsupportive of the teachers when they ask f...
