Cobden High School had great educational classes. The teachers help you if you are not understanding the lesson. The Activities are very fun and create teamwork among all students. My favorite classes were Math, English and Art. The school has a bully free zone. They keep the school clean and safe for the students. The school is small and I would of loved to have had more options to involve myself in more sports or activities.

Teachers aren't the best, but the superintendent is great and he really cares. There's been a lot of dumb rules enacted recently, but overall it's not the worst. Not nearly as bad as AJ at least. Some teachers make up for the bad ones with how good they are, and were one of the only schools around with an Esports team and AP Computer Science. Food is bad but overall not the worst school around. 3/5 would recommend
