My experience here has not been the best. I've experienced many fights and bullying that have discouraged me from coming to school.

I've always had an opportunity to discuss any concerns with any of the teachers, Vice-Principal or Principal at La Joya. Three of my children attended La Joya through several years and I couldn't have asked for any better treatment or notification on any event or incident. From sports, band, robotics / science, drama, etc. my children were kept busy learning, participating, and having fun, the Nurse was very helpful when notifying me about my son's bad days with his allergies, to the various teachers that notified me about homework, projects, trips and events that my children needed to do or volunteered for. Honestly there were just so many things that went right at La Joya - all three of my kids that attended have great memories about this school, and so do I.
