Honestly it's hard to think of things I like about my school. The teachers make it hard to understand the work and when you ask for help it's almost impossible for them to help. And the administration dose not take anything but dicaplin seriously

Its a normal highs school, the campus is absolutely beautiful, its very open and you definitely get your exercise. The teachers try their best to be there for you and teach you. The kids might be obnoxious however you can get a pretty somewhat decent education there.

Carlsbad High School was my stomping ground from 2013-2017. I liked the teachers and faculty here, they were always so helpful and courteous. Something I would change is the excesss of unnecessary rules being made and implement off-campus lunches for students.

Bad, nobody learns anything properly and has to deal with it along with the bad kids around you, the teachers aren't any better, and they expect you to only learn from a computer.
