I love the variety of clubs at our school, but I wish there were more medical and women coding clubs as they aren't a lot of young girls in STEAM

I was a great place to go to school, but also had many downsides. Yes, the education and teachers were great, but the kids who went had rich parents who supported their kids too much.

Wealthy school. Unless your child is an academic or athletic prodigy, your child will be educated in a large, impersonal college style campus. Limited communication with teachers, overwhelming class sizes. Lots of wealthy kids who cyber bully and host drug parties in mansions. If you are an average...

I am an alumni and my experience was not good. There are so many students shoved into this school it is unbelievable. Not to mention twice while I was there, teachers were having inappropriate contact with students.

As a CV student I would have to say the staff is very helpful and the school board is very selective when choosing new teaches. The high school is very well maintained and it's rather easy find people like you.
