Calhoun High School was a great experience. Overall I enjoyed my time there and I would do it all over again. Yes there's some things that I would change but other than that it was great.

This school is very diverse. Teachers are always willing to help you and make learning fun. You feel very involved and they always push you to do sports or join clubs. Some students are very friendly while others aren't but it doesn't matter.

4.0 Senior

Calhoun has good competitive academics and sports. Football gets the most attention and money. The negative side is that Calhoun can tend to be very clique-y. There are non-clique people though. From a Christian perspective, saying you are a Christian but not walking the walk is prevalent.

As they started allowing to students exempt from exams they only recognized the students who have A’s in their class making any others feel like their success doesn’t count if you’re not top of the class, they try to take your parents to cour...

This school only cares about the sports, specifically football. If you aren’t a white kid with rich parents, they could care less about you. Activities that aren’t football are extremely defunded. Teachers do not help with assignments & except students to learn on their own. This school with only he...
