The school did a FANTASTIC job of organizing this huge event and everything went smoothly. The entire ceremony was slightly over one hour for the graduating 241 senior class. The seats were comfortable, the view and PA system were perfect and all employees and volunteers alike did an AMAZING and thankless job for a GREAT event.

The high school is rich in history with over 100 years in the community. There is a strong need for…read moremore students to check in here and stay here at La Puente. There seems to be a belief that the school is not safe or that it is subpar. This yelper can tell you that none of that is true and the school deeply cares about students and student learning. Once a student actually give the school a chance, they never want to leave.

c'26 student here…read more Academics are questionable. Grade inflation is prominent everywhere, which is a good thing if you're into having high grades, but you aren't necessarily prepared for college with the course material. Teacher quality is typically on the lower side, though a few teachers do focus on teaching rigorously. Despite being an MIT EA admit, I question whether that's the school to commit to, given how little I've been prepared over my last 4 years. School events are hastily created and expensive, and there are very few organizations, even fewer with proper organization (which is just what happens when you put students in charge of something). The main issue is a lack of school pride, which leads to few organizations, as students typically do not participate in any. The general staff are kind, though. The office administration is helpful, and most teachers (evidently noted by grade inflation) genuinely want you to succeed. Most staff are approachable. Some teachers (most notably music) are pretty hostile, however, often trying to get the better of students or stir up issues. Fights are relatively common, and tension is heavy among students. Security does their job well, although some officers are questionable about their closeness to female students. closeness Our sports teams are fine. If you're interested in football, the football team here is decent for their division. If you're interested in performing arts, don't expect much--there's very low participation in musical arts, both choir and wind ensemble (which are very likely to fizzle out by the '28-'29 year completely). Dance and art are the only two relevant arts. However, they're still relatively underrepresented (~2 levels of classes for visual art [no pathway] and ~3 separate dance courses [2 levels and Dance Co.]). If you're interested in acting, tough luck. There are no drama courses. No relevant STEM pathways, aside from biology, especially for those interested in engineering or chemistry. School lunch has improved drastically in the last few years, though (it's free!). The campus is in pretty poor shape, with few renovations to buildings. The art/music building is deteriorating. Common issues (such as those related to the bathrooms) are still prevalent here, although they're present in most schools. Would give 1 star, but the staff are fairly friendly, and it's easy to be valedictorian if you put in even an ounce of effort (which is nice to flex, though it shows how little students here prioritize education, which further harms educational pathways). Do not recommend--Los Altos, Nogales, Rowland, and Glen A. Wilson are down the corner, and your child will be a lot happier there.

Absolutely Horrid, the new principal has no real goals that actively benefit the entire school…read more He'd rather support "popular" sports that don't need any extra funding and ignore problems of other sports. Why would you continuously give funding to a team that doesn't need it. Multiple jerseys and helmets don't make a team better. Focus on spending the funds on making the school environment better.

So many were obviously burnt out and just wanted a stable pay. You won't find, save 2-4 teachers per grade level, who actually will put in more work than just going through the motion. The administration is just another bureaucratic jumping point for a better gig down the future. They don't really care. I think I interacted with the principal once and she immediately acted like a pompous fuck. They also try to frame the school in the most positive light, such as being the only school in the district to improve by 15 points on some standardized BS test, when if any of the students had a brain, they can easily check that those gains still amount to last place. As for the students. Worst pile of cesspool trash of them all. Most are thieves and wanna-bee thugs. Most are still living with their parents at 24-28 and can barely afford a car if at all. This was predictable from their shitty work ethic, low IQ, yet somehow pretentious notions of themselves when attending at this place. It's a cancer that will swallow your kids up.

There is one teacher who really appears to bond just a little better than the other. Not sure what his name is but as the kids where walking up to get their promotional certificates for graduation yesterday 6/4/25 he did special gestures with each and everyone of his students which was a treat to watch. Thank you to that awesome teacher! My biggest complaint was that the promotion was exceptionally long! I attended a college graduation and a HS graduation both within these last 3 weeks and this 8 grade promotion by far was the longest! Maybe if the principal hadn't gone on and on and talked so much it would have made it much shorter and more enjoyable. The video at the end was absolutely great and as each one signed off made it even more special. This is the second promotion I have attended for this school. Maybe next year make it more about the kids and not the principal and shorten it. Congratulations to class of 2025! Go little sharks and become big sharks!
