The school needs more diversity along with the administration is not the best that it can be. Sports have good coaches.

Um, I survived, and I was lucky to participate in early college courses, so that was at least beneficial to my academic career. Overall, pretty average high school. :I

Culpeper High School is a middle-of-the-road high school. You will get the education necessary to follow your career, and the teachers are very helpful in aiding you to reach your goals, but it definitely has its shortcomings that any public high school would have. Some of which are demoralizing food, bullying, and an unmotivated student body to name a few.

The school has great leadership and direction. I have seen alot of kids going to top notch colleges across the country including Harvard and UVA. The school has a great mindset and rewards academics and athletics. It has been a great experience for us and my two youngest will be attending soon.

I always loved this school for the 3 years I was there I was able to branch out and find a community of great teachers and students who were always there to help me.

I honestly wish this school was never built. I'd rather be in Rappahanock since it's closer because some of these teachers are nasty and rude and all i'm trying to do is pass with at least a 65 and they already make that hard enough.
