The best parts of my experience are the teachers, amazing teachers who are passionate and who know what they are doing. The worst experience is sort of the food, I wish for more variety of food and more tasty meals for lunch. I like to see the school do more for the academics, yes they offered a lot of class but I fear some aren't college ready after being in those classes.

My best part of Caruthers High school was that I was able to do tennis and track. We won valley for tennis. The worst part was for deciding what college and major to pick. There's only two counselors for the entire school which causes there to be like space to meet with your counselor. Especially when college applications are due.
