Cosby is a good school with many supportive teachers and other staff members. Most teachers want to see their students succeed and provide resources to do so. However, it is often difficult to find information about school events, and school spirit isn't very high.

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.

While the experience was good, the drug problem was easily the worst part of the experience. If something could change in that high school, I would hope that would be first. Other than that, the teachers do the best they can in the overcrowded environment. That's another large issue with the school, but not much can be done on that front.

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.
