Which High School is the best for my child to go to, Palm Desert High or La Quinta High? He is a 4.0 GPA & has never made nothing below an A, which High school would be the best for him?
I am a student at this school and it is my freshman year. The first day wasso amazing, the teachers were very welcoming and I would never leave this school. I recomend Palm Desert High.
I attend Palm Desert high, the teachers are the best,all my four years I experience the best activities,overall.
If you'd like your teen to be challenged academically, this school has many options. The principal has been a great leader, highly involved in every activity and very responsive. As a parent, if you are volunteering, it will only benefit your child's overall experience.
The people that attend that school, are amazing. The staff is a lot of help.
How this principal entered his position in this school is laughable. He is not responsive and is quite frankly a poor leader. Unfortunately 'principals' do not serve terms such as 'presidents' - otherwise a new principal would certainly be well appreciated. One who is strong and hands-on and simply CARES. This I believe, would be a strong factor that would generate down to the uncaring staff.
We have a handful of good teachers but a lot of new ones.
I agree the staff are rude. They need to give more opprotunity.
You need money too to be in this public school. The dont really give good opprotunity and its hot as hates here. Parents move out of the desert and go to some other city. These schools are bad!
We have a handful of good teachers but a lot of really poor ones. Our principal is a poor leader. The students, staff and parents have no respect for him. He and the District care little about the individual students, only about the numbers and reputation of the school.
