"Horrible absolutely terrible. Send your child to John Glenn or something because La Quinta has some serious problems. I am a student here and I would give this school no stars if I could. I could blame budget cuts but really this is too much."

"My son recently started the 7th grade at LQMS. So far so good. I have e-mailed two of his teachers and they promptly responded. Maybe it helps that I am extremely involved in my sons education. They offer honors classes in which my son attends. Although he struggles in algebra I am here to assit him or LQMS also offers tutoring. My son is well behaved and therefore I cannot speak about "punishment". Difficult to rate at this time since it is early in the school year, therfore will select average at this time."

"As parent i found this web site today as I have also come to the same conclusion has the rest of the parent's that have posted. The priniciple will tell you she wants parent envolvement and then turn around and tell its school policy. This schools seems to be more concerned with themselves instead of educating the children, childrens are repremaned with out parent notification, they solution is to take kids out of class rooms for punishement and place them in what they call on campus suspenstion. The punishement is used for the simplist crimes, I requested an alterniative punishment such as lunch detention or after school detention, I didnt want my child missing any classroom time. Their response is this is our policy- its non-negotiable. My kids have been at this school for the past two years with very little succcess, there grade of dropped and they will not return"

"This school is very poor in quality. Starting from the top. There is no leadership from the Principal on down to the Vice-Principal. Students are not motivated and are acting out in various ways."

"My daughter is an eight grader and I have spent the last 2 years doing everything except walking my daughter to class and hold her hand. The counselors are a joke, the teachers are a bigger joke. Substitutes are in classes for 6 month or longer but are not required to post grades so your child fails. They communicate through agendas that never are checked and a website that is never current. How is it possible that your passing with an A and the very next day you have an F. Can we do anything. I will be down there if my daughter isn't allowed to promote. Oh and she not is practically teaching her color guard class and comes home stressed everyday....Lets do something about this."
