My experience at Cibola overall has been pleasant but there is some things that could be elevated greatly such as the restrooms. They are always dirty and some students refuse to even use them due to their gross condition. The teachers for the most part are well educated and easy to work with and be taught by. Administrators are half and half some such as the actives director and the counselors are great and helpful people but the front office staff is rude and dismissive

Faculty made sure that there was a one on one connection to be able to help students with any need whether it was personal or school related. There were a lot of fights that happened but they were quickly resolved with help of the staff and security.
