4/6/2026
My experience at County Prep was very mixed, but it has honestly helped me grow academically and personally. The classes really push you, and it can be stressful. I feel like it prepared me well for college. Many teachers care and want to see us succeed, which made a big difference and made me feel supported throughout my years at County Prep.

The school creates a strong environment that is dedicated to learning. The teachers are helpful and form good connections with the students. The food has a variety of options. The school is overall really good.

Currently a junior at CPHS, and I never regretted my decision in choosing this high school over another public high school I was accepted in. The school environment makes going to school fun.
