I would say my experience with Cigarroa would be the academic environment. While it is an astounding school with great opportunities, I can't help to say that it does cause a lot of stress and distractions due to a few of the students that go there. I would say that would be something I am looking to change so I can come prepared to learn with no distractions.

I am almost gone almost done with school. I can't not believe it. I thought I would never get to this point in my life now but the experience in this school isn't best or the worst improvement could be better !

With all due respect to staff and students, this school needs more improvement in order to call it prestigious. It not good nor bad... Teachers should offer a more challenging curriculum in order to prepare students for college. Let's face it college is no walk in the park
