Throughout my four years experience at CHS, the food has drastically improved by my senior year in comparison to my freshman year. The school lacks equality in the sense that a good student is more likely to get a bigger punishment for the same action a bad/dangerous student did.

Overall Cumberland High school has catered a good high school experience for me. Though. I believe more college prep could be instilled in the institution. CHS has a lively community and sense of school spirit.

Overall good, most of the teachers are nice and good at teaching. I feel like most of the classes are challenging enough, and there are good support systems if you need help.

The freedom here is astounding. I...
