While most of the teachers are approachable and kind, there are a couple who let personal opinion and politics alter the course of their teaching. The administration is also favorative and rude to students. Courses are fair and mostly enjoyable, and the student body is well connected and easy to integrate into.

Going to California High School for all my high school life, it is pretty good school. Most of the teachers are understanding and are helpful with not only their subject but others as well. The evivorement is friendly and relaxed. The school has a lot more clubs as I get older so there is more opportunities to meet other people form different grades. The faculty is great with some things and bad with others but that is any school. It is good about preventing bully or bad things from happening.
