Corona Del Sol is a really good high school with good academics and a lot of opportunities to be involved with clubs and sports. There are also a lot of school events to bring people closer.

The best parts of Corona were the people and friends I made! I always had friends and felt safe because of all the security we had. However something I didn't like was the admin. They could be rude and cold and I did not like that at all.

I have been attending Corona Del Sol High School since my Freshman year. The overall community at Corona is very friendly and grows constantly, people from all over are welcome and I think the school does a great job at keeping their students and staff safe. There have been hiccups when it comes to college readiness, unless you take college pre as a class you won't be getting a lot of information and help to graduate high school, and I believe that is something they should fix and work with.

Like what is your problem, one time one of them yelled at me for not...

as a student here, its an ok school. its big, almost 3000 students, and the hallways are busy. classes are challenging if you're in honors, teachers are good for the most part, clubs are cool, sports teams are good. if you're looking for a standard high school, this is a good school, but if your kid...

The school used to be good. Then from the district to the school level, the administration got a shake up. The results? Good teachers left in droves and it is very difficult for students to pursue extracurricular activities. The most ridiculous reason I heard was that some activities are too expensi...
