We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

During my time at this school, I've been pleased with the quality of not only the academics but also the amount of resources that are offered by the school. I'm currently in my junior year, and I've been able to receive a lot of confidence about the college journey from our school counselor.

Cesar Chavez High school is a great school, this school gives you good opportunities and acknowledges your hard work during your high schools years like giving awards to students who have a 3.0 or 4.0 GPA and celebrates your awards, they also acknowledge students kindness to others which I love because it lets students know they are on the right path. I rated Cesar Chavez average because even though I love the way they give credit to great students I don't like how they don't give students more opportunities to explore into what they want to do in the future as a career, the college advisor there is okay but the school just lacks into putting money in the right places, they give good education like supporting AP classes and dual enrollments which is great but there is just something something that makes it not a great school but it's average supporting good resources but at the same time not enough.

There's a few point i'd like to make. School isn't a daycare center. If girls are getting pregnant young it isn't because their school sucks, therefore the school shouldn't get the blame for it. Teachers are there for support, but they aren't the parents, the first teachers in a kids life. This does...

CCAHS has systemic problems that make it a failing school! The profit minded corporate management and administration created a school more concerned with profits than education. Overcrowded classrooms with inadequate resources puts profits over students. The lack of qualified educational leadership...
