La Joya throughout the time that I was a student there was a terribly ran and corrupt school district. The staff in our schools;especially Palmview, made it much harder to kids to succeed due to some of them just not being good at their jobs. It's also very hard for students to access resources that shouldn't be hard to access such as being able to talk to their counselor.

I graduated there in 2010, it's a great school as much as I want to say it isn't. If you want to succeed and go into a good university, there are people their that can guide you. It all comes down to this quote in this school " Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours."
