In general, I have had a really great experience at Indio High School. They have access to all kinds of Career Technical Education programs as well as clubs and visual art programs for you to get a strong idea of what you want to do during and after college. The school spirit is very strong and the school does a great job of making sure everyone is welcomed and included. I wish that I was able to spend all of High School here rather than at my previous High School, where I was enrolled during my Freshman and Sophomore year.

They try to make the best of your experience by giving many pathways to go down throughout your years there, and they also have many club opportunities for students. The principal is also a very kind and knowledgeable man.
