Indio High School Reviews

I'd first like to commend the counsellors for all the work they have done for their students, especially their seniors. With them, they were ready and willing to help us with anything from emotional support to college preparations such as looking over senior portfolios to see if we should improve or add anything to highlight all of the accomplishments of everyone thought their years of high school. The overall environment of the school and it's staff members is very welcoming to students. Our school is very diverse culturally and there has never been an instance of segregation or alienation from anyone because of it. Lastly, the teachers at Indio actually care about their students and their education instead of just doing their job for the money.

Indio High School is a place where many learn to fight for their dreams. The teachers here go out of their ways to help and support all students so that we may be prepared for adulthood, whether we go straight to college/university, military, or work. Indio High School students face many hardships, but this school has made it possible for many of us to be successful for the future. The environment is friendly and the best part of Indio High School is that everybody is accepting toward each other, no matter the person. Indio High School is tough and strong on academics, pushing us students to go above and beyond. Indio High School is unlike any school any students have gone to!
Indio High School has a lively campus and a grand amount of diversity. Although the teachers try their best to provide an education for its students through the school's wide range of subjects, they fail in prepping them for college. As many seniors are often unaware of ACT/SATS dates and college applications.
