Only 1 teacher are good from the entire school. I saw so much people get bullied right in front of staff they NEVER did anything. I got death threats and someone threatened to fight me all the old principal did was just tell them to not do it again and got sent back to class. No suspension at ALL. And not even a phone call to their parents. Only some teachers care about the learning. People that are slightly different from the popular kids gotten made fun of horribly. There was photos spreading around of random classmates being used as stickers because it’s funny cause their “weird” Lol!! They were even at the school. No one did anything. People making fun of others yearbook photos AND it being posted online. They always bullied quiet, and or nice people. This was my experience with the old principal.Hopefully the new principal is better. Get batter staff too.

"It’s a quiet neighborhood not much traffic and you could go on walks I. The morning or afternoons. There the desert to go off roading. Or you can go to the shore and watch the birds and the water if you don’t mind a little stink. "

"Salton city is an excellent place for families and retirees alike. Low crime and very friendly people provide the ingredients for a small town feel. It's totally different from the big city where everyone is to concerned about making the buck then actually enjoying life. "

"Difficult austere environment, wide open spaces. Night sky is beautiful and the Salton Sea is also quite lovely at dawn. Lots of birds. If you want solitude and don't mind driving to Indio for shopping this is an all right place to be. It's common to have 120 degree summer days and there's no rainfall. A hermits dream, in a nutshell.
