This school is just ok. Academics are alright. Counselors not that great. Kids not very accepting or friendly. When we moved to the area we were told PD is a great school. After a few months we realized it’s not. The principal and school leadership do not enforce the rules or the dress code. Girls come to school in bras and their butt hanging out of their shorts. The sports programs aren't as great as they seem… the so called coaches aren’t really coaching anymore. They are on autopilot but they will still charge you for an outside lesson. It’s all about money and power for the coaches. They don't play the best players. They play whoever is in their clique.La Quinta HS is a much better school. They are very strict about the rules, dress code, academics. Your child will be better off at LQ.

This is in response to the "school's" reply to my review (the most recent), as I can't reply to their AI generated response. As you can see, this institution cares more about touting its' accomplishments than trying to rectifying its' poor outlook on education.I truly believed this was the view of the previous Principal but a response like this make it painfully obvious that this is the view of the administration as a whole. My child no longer attends James Monroe, despite the unsubstantiated claim that they do. If you can't trust a school administration to be honest on a reputable school reviewing platform, how sure are you that you can trust them with your child's education?

LOVED THIS SCHOOL. I LOVED MR POWERS CLASS EVERY DAY. you should go to this school 10000000000000/10
