La Puente has overall a good campus and setting. The teachers are all nice and understanding if a student has a struggle. The classes offered there range from really easy to really challenging, and the counselors make sure to pick the ones that are right for you. There is a lot of activity to participate in whether its sports, clubs, and school rally's to get the whole schools spirits up. Overall, the school has so much to offer for student of all types.
