Throughout my 4 years I haven't had many negative experiences with this school. All of the courses that I have taken have been fair with the expectations of students and all of the teachers there are more than willing to help with any problems you have. Something that I would like to change would be the lunch as I don't eat most of the food offered currently.

I had the best experience being a student here. I loved the atmosphere and how everyone was super friendly and loving. The teachers were so understanding and caring they made sure that you did what you had to do.

I thought that my school experience so far was a good one. I personally was able to make very good friends at the school and when it came to the education, it wasn't as if it was very easy. There were times where it seemed easy, but once i got further into the year, it started to challenge me. Overall, a positive experience.

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...
