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.

I think this school has a pretty tight knit community. It's an amazing place to establish relationships with teachers. The academics are pretty good. Sometimes the bathrooms are closed though, or missing a lot of toilet paper.

Although Coalinga is a very small, the majority of the staff at Coalinga High School make up for this with their eagerness to hone young minds and genuine concern for their wellbeing.

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...
