The best parts of my experience at La Jolla High School are the teachers who care about their students success. and the school pride of being a viking. The worst part was when my teacher quit a month into the school year and I was left with a substitute teacher for the remainder of first semester.

Best parts of my experience include the highly competitive sports teams, such as volleyball and track and the biomedical pathway.

Many of the teachers are truly amazing and care for not only the success but the wellbeing of their students. I felt prepared for college.

I have loved my time here and as long as you stick to the right crowd and take the right classes, you will do fine. I got accommodations from teachers after my dad died and they were super understand...
