It felt lacking. Computers were always slow, teachers are underpaid and the food was never the best. There was always a fight to be broken out or a teacher that was not actually teaching. It just felt like a place holder and not school. I believe with better funding it could flourish, but without the proper funding it is not the best place to receive your high school diploma.

I have had the absolute best time in High School. I don't think I would go anywhere else if I could do it again. I wouldn't change a thing about my school, we have great teachers, staff, and administration that I know I can rely on if I need anything at all.

Canutillo High School is full of spirited, well mannered and highly motivated people. The teachers are always there to listen and answer questions. The principle is all in for school spirit and student support. Our custodians are very hardworking on making our school presentable as well being kind to our students and staff.

Our kids live like Hobbits. Wake up, eat 1st bre...

Horrible, the teachers seem to focus more on the students who do not try at all, and leave the ones who actually want to be there. Teachers do not give out homework or regular work in class, most days students do nothing but stay on the phone. But, whenever there is a special guest, everything chang...
