GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As a junior going to senior I would say my high school experience has been amazing. The school's atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming to all students. They college readiness is outstanding with AVID and UPWARD BOUND. Sports are on a rise with this school year and looking to become even better with the following year. I would rate my high school with a solid 8/10.

This school has a lot of academics to be offer, which makes a unique school. These academics makes more than half of the students go to a four year university. Which I do belive it should have more state funding. The teachers are very helpful in this school because they understand whats the best for students to be suceed. This school was rated one of the best high schools around the nation." Scholars are made here".

I prefer this small community and great sta...

La Puente High School should be recognized for their academics and how hard these kids at this school try to succeed and prove people wrong.
