La Joya has amazing teachers with terrible administration. The infrastructure in its main High School is horrible, and the district as whole is known to have corruption and the district is willing to do anything to have more funds with little of it being used for the betterment of the school or for higher pay of teachers. Student made and run organizations clubs also have little funds to grow. As mentioned before about the upper district, it is a well-known fact that nepotism infects the main leadership of the district and it has been a trend that it is the same group of people that take these positions. It is an extremely sad situation considering that many of its teachers are extremely talented, with low pay, there aren't enough teachers to occupy teaching roles leading to a monopoly of sorts (one teacher is the sole provider of a course).
Great Opportunities! La Joya Independent School District has helped many students achieve their goals. Providing students with early colleges has been one of their best accomplishments. They are able to provide to the students, staff, and community all at once.
I have attended to schools in the La Joya Independent School District my entire life and it has been an experience full of amazing and interesting moments. We are given a lot of resources to prepare us for future education and we are always given a chance to excel in places we couldn't before. We are given delicious free school lunches that we enjoy every day. During these hard times, our school lent out technology to keep working hard everyday and to be able to maintain our ideal academic goals. This school district has done everything in their power to help us in anyway that they can and it truly shows. I, for instance, have received a lot of opportunities to showcase my talents in testing and in the classroom. I have received many scholarship opportunities to help me continue my studies. Thanks to that, I now am the target of many amazing schools around the country. I truly am grateful for all that La Joya has done for me and for all its students.
