My experience during my education at La Puente High School has been wonderful. The interaction with my teachers, staff and the different counselors has been of great help to my learning, I am completely sure that I have learned in a great way. I think there is nothing to change but I would like them to change the way of addressing the students through the different resources and educational aids to the students.

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.
