My overall experience at craig Mont was a good one to say the least. The school was very music heavy they had one of the best bands in the state or even in the country. They had a lot of great teachers who taught you the curriculum and stayed on topic and made it easy to understand. The teachers were very understanding when it came to teaching the students. The clubs were very enjoyable as students were going on field trips and having fun in the clubs. The counselors were very helpful with the resources they had to help us with college decisions and scholarships.

I feel very safe in Craigmont. It's definitely somewhere I love and I'm very proud to say I go there. The clubs are amazing. Also, the teachers make sure they build a bond with their students. Craigmont is an international studies school so we get to travel everywhere every year. The optional program is great. They make sure to give us different resources to get ready for college.

What I like about Craigmont is that many adults in the school setting has helped students prepare for college and help them understand the right and wrong doings when it came to college. What I would like to see change at Craigmont High School would be the readiness and the preparation of many activities. I gave this reason because many of the activities that go at the school are either not known about or announced at the last minute.

This school is terrible. Kids set the garbage cans on fire, pull the fire alarm, have riots, steal from staff, have fights every day. If your child has a little potential don't bring them there. It's horribly set up the teachers smoke with the students. And their are gangs everywhere

Craigmont High school is a very excellent school. The community thinks that it is a bad school because they only hear about the bad things that happen.
