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 feels like home to me. I have grown to get to know such amazing students and adults. The atmosphere is so amazing, and I wouldn't want to be at any other high school in the valley. Everyone is so friendly, it is so easy to make friends!
