My experience at Cordova High School has been on a rollercoaster. As more years passed by Cordova High School was more enjoyable. They seem to improve every year by working with what they have. The teachers and faculty are honestly the best part of the school. They have been very helpful as I apply to colleges and am entering my adult life.

I recently graduated there, it really has its pros and cons. Academics is fine but they could really use some new/more professional teachers.

Not great, It would be nice for students to be able to do more. The teachers don't get in trouble for being unreasonable with students and in turn the students will get in trouble. The school will be very strict with students, and they automatically assume the worst in every student.
