Carlsbad High School was a very sport heavy school. Football was one of the biggest sports there and the games were always a pretty big deal. This made a lot of the students have very strong school spirit which was very fun. The academics there were decent and the majority of the teachers were kind.

Only bad parts would be the bathrooms, students would make them unusable, causing them to be locked.

I had an okay experience at Carlsbad High School. I wasn't involved in many clubs or any sports, but I built many wonderful relationships with my teachers, especially senior year.
