School Overview

Cathedral City High sits in the heart of the Coachella Valley, serving a diverse, working-class community where many families have deep roots in the region's hospitality and service industries. Academics here are developing, with English scores slightly outpacing math and science, making it a school where motivated students who seek out teachers and resources can still find their footing. Families drawn to the tight-knit, culturally rich character of Cathedral City — just a few miles from the glitz of Palm Springs but with a more grounded, neighborhood feel — will find a school that reflects the real fabric of the valley.
