Coalinga High School is a great high school. The teachers and staff are helpful and supportive, and the students are generally lively and hard-working. A change I would like to see is the offering of more extracurricular activities and AP classes, such as AP Chemistry.

Its a great place to go to, it feels like a second home sometimes especially when I go out there to do sports. They encourage people to do better and try to go to college for the better but also let students know we have other choices as well like internships and tradeschool. Only thing i dislike is how some students act like wannabe gang members and it sucks to see that

This school is very small and because of it there are many clicks and there is no diversity it is all a popularity contest that staff buy into. Since this is the only high school in Coalinga students do not have many options.

I love this school! The teachers really care about their students even ones that fail. The teachers and other staff are really helpful. You fail a test go in after school and they will go over it with you so you do learn it. Then they are overly special teachers you get close to and you can show up...
