Overall, the school is great. The guidence counselors are helpful and most teachers are caring. There are a few exceptions, with some teachers being near unbearable. The school is clean and there are almost no fights.

The best part of your experience at Coronado will be the people and teachers. College can be indeed stressful but the students and teachers have a great way to help you stay calm and push through it. Counselors are always ready to make the best out of your year by helping to put you in the classes you need and the ones you want. They encourage you to do more but always stay in limit because they care enough to make sure it works out in the future. Teachers are always there to help you in any way possible to make sure you are not too stressed and to make sure you are where you want to be.

I really enjoy going to this school. I am apart of the Coronado Theater department as the audio head and i am planning to go for technical director for my senior year. I also have only had one teacher all 3 years that i feel didn't really want to teach but he was a long term sub and had a couple issues throughout that year. Overall though I do very much like this school.

Both of my children went here and took AP classes and were among the first graduating class for AP. With that being said, I feel that this school also has many challenges that an overwhelmed counselor will easily miss if parents are not on top of what’s going on with their kid. Bullying can easily b...
