I wouldn't even know where to begin when I explain what a wonderful school Calhoun is. My son is a junior and I am thoroughly impressed with the courses offered since he came to this school. Every teacher has pushed him to excel and is always willing to help if help is needed- even on their own time. I will be sad when he graduates but my daughter will be there shortly!

Great school with tons to offer the students to keep them engaged and busy. The magnet theater program is among the best in the state and the music ensembles consistently win competitions wherever they go.

I have had two children graduate from this school and both had a fantastic education. Both, they each are now engineers, one is a mechanical engineer, the other is aeronautical engineer. This school provides many activities after school to keep the kids busy. I highly recommend.
7/28/2013
Good area and great for a "basic education", but definitely lacking in science and technology. A very artsy school not for the future engineer or geologist, certainly great for any aspiring accountant or businessman.
