La Quinta High School Reviews
Rating 3.86 out of 5 714 reviews
La Quinta High School gave me many opportunities to have fun while staying safe and respectful. I was able to enjoy all 4 years of highschool with many friends and faculty, many of those relationships came from school related activities. I’ve grown close with teachers and staff and felt respected as a student. La Quinta High School overall has been a great environment to attend everyday and has set me up academically for the future!
La Quinta High School is a a great school with a huge campus. A variety of classes with various level are offered for students to have their best academic journey in order to achieve their best academic achievements for colleges and universities. All the teachers and counselors are always willing to help the students with everything such as studying, mental health or any problem, they made very good connections with the students. They give advice and care about their students. They're doing their best for our future. Field trips are usually held for student to get to know more about colleges, universities, have more experiences, to do extracurricular activities or volunteer, and more.Besides, free lunch are provided with diverse menu for everyday. LQHS also have a variety of clubs for students to join and build strong community based on their passion. With a large campus, there might be a lack of security but LQHS always ensure student safety with practice sessions for all situations.
La Quinta High School is a school that will let you have experiences other schools won't, they have tons of clubs and the people attending this school are all super friendly. The teachers are always willing to help you with any assignments you don't understand or any personal problems or troubles you might be going through. It's super easy to make friends and I can say it from personal experience because I transferred to this school for personal reasons and within two months I found a great friend group that I consider my most real friends. This school is also associated with the International Baccalaureate program, allowing students to take college-level classes in high school. This gives them an excellent opportunity to be prepared for what they will have to face in the future, it also helps students get into college credit that will help them take fewer classes in college, pay less money and save more money for other things. La Quinta High School also has excellent counselors.
