La Quinta High School is a great place to learn! The teacers are helpful, the students are wonderfully behaved and there are little to no vandalism/drug/bullying/sexual harassment/gang/violence issues. The courses offered are challenging but helful in preparing and aiding kids for college. You know how the stereotypical high school has nerds getting beat up by tough jocks? It doesn't happen here because being smart is cool and desired among students. It brings a level of friendly competition and motivation with the ultimate goal of getting to not just college, but university. You can learn a lot from your experiences here at LQ.

LQ is still the best school. School spirit is high at Laquinta which tells you for generations they pass this along. Many schools lose this Spirit but not Laquinta. Glad to see they're still number 1. Their scores are great, the students are happy and the alumni still keep in touch. Go Mighty Aztecs!!!

As a former student, it makes me very proud to see the API scores! The teachers I had were always very supportive. The music program is amazing! Mr. Hensley has true passion for teaching his choir students; I could not have had a more amazing and talented choir teacher! Countinue to be amazing LQHS!

I think the school is fabulous. The students all interact very well with one another and everyone is very friendly. My daughter is very pleased with the education she is getting from the school. You feel very welcome, and the students are very spirited and very involved with what's going on in the school. I would recommend it. They have great A.P.I. scores.
