The best parts of my personal experience with Cedar Crest was definitely sports. Especially, making a new family with each team and bonded outside of school. I've learned that's sports isn't just about competing but working as a team to work harder than the others and work together to achieve the win at the end of the day. Sports are a huge factor of the Highschool experience and should continue and expand as the years advance.

I have been at Cedar Crest High School for my entire High School career. Throughout the time here, there have been amazing experiences. The teachers are great, and they curriculum is engaging. Depending on the classes you take (AP, CHS, etc.) the teachers and the courses will prepare for what you'll learn and experience in high school.

I have been involved in the Cedar Crest community for a very long time. My father has been a teacher and a football coach for longer than I have been born. I have always been around the school and students and overall, I have such great memories and thoughts on CCHS. I appreciate all that the school has done with preparing me for my college career, and the school spirit is unmatched. Some of my best friends who I consider family have been met through the school, and I will be forever grateful for what has been done for me by CCHS.

I graduated from CCHS in 1996 and my son graduated from here a few years ago. While some things had improved, not enough have, IMO. All students are well supplied and have equal opportunity, but not equal attention, by far. As a student who wasn't among the affluent, came from a broken home, and had...

My experience at this school was very negative. Most of the teachers did not care about the experience that they were giving their students. Obviously there were the exceptions. The counselors are also very self centered. They don’t care about students wishes but rather the easy way out.

Tiny school, which has no redeeming qualities. I regret my time here and wish I'd never attended. Students were mostly drugged out, the teachers inexperienced and/or overwhelmed, and there was no counseling or support for disabilities. Does not prep for college at all. Avoid this school!
