I've grown in La joya independent school district since I was a pre-k student. To me, La joya isn't just a school district, everyone is united and everyone feels like family. The teachers are amazing and are always there to lend you a hand when you really need it, talking about personal experience. Anyone would be lucky to be a part of La Joya school district.

My experience at La Joya High School was good. I had the amazing opportunity to attend the early college program which has positively impacted my academic success. The teachers are well educated and prepared.

This school has awesome teachers,and a strong curriculum. It offers many opportunities for the students to get academic tutoring and college hours; however too many students are allowed to walk around the hallways. The principal, though knowledgeable has no social skills.
