I like the smaller community feel. It is a smaller school and shares a campus with the middle school. This makes for an easier transition from middle school to high school. Love most of teachers and coaches.

Costa Mesa high school was a hard experiences, where being a Latina woman gave me bad experiences there just for be Latina, sadly all the students to freshman to seniors, use bad substances in the bathrooms and even in the classrooms, sadly people that came for other country don't get all the help that they need, I didn't like my experience there.
