My experience at Cosby High School has been great. Over the last three years I've met a ton of new people through classes, sports, clubs, and breaks between periods like lunch. One thing I wish to be better is the enforcing of punishments. At Cosby, the punishment is greater if you are caught with your phone in your pocket during class or lunch, than it is if you are caught vaping in the bathroom. This is easily the worst part of Cosby High School, but besides that, the school is mostly a great place to get an education and get prepared for your next steps in life.

I have attended Cosby High School for all 4 years and have found support and readiness in everything I complete. I have found community involvement opportunities to be one of the best parts of my experience. Overcrowding and number of students has been one of the worst parts of my experience. I would like to see change in more of a personal experience and creating connections with students and classes from staff.

I would say I have had a pleasant experience with Cosby. There have been several issues with admin abusing boundaries. However, I would say that Cosby is one of the most academically gifted schools in the greater Richmond area.

The only complaint I have heard is that the cafeteria food could use improvement... perhaps a sub sandwich bar could b...

Unacceptable, they sit 3 to a seat on the buses which conflicts with the safety guidelines set by the bus manufacture. Half the teachers don't want to put in the work to fix their mistakes. As in example, the teacher posts the wrong grade in their grade book. Upon the student asking for it to be cor...

its a good school with caring teachers and staff. I attend in the specialty center and the work environment is good but you have to want to succeed if not you will preform poorly and find many things difficult in the school.
