I loved this school. It is truly an experience that has been memorable. The faculty and teachers are extremely helpful and gave me the high school experience I would never forget.

Bullying and fights often, Bus situation is generally bad with multiple 3-4 kids sitting per seat and in aisle (on my bus), when a fight happens instead of punishing the people who did the fight, they punish everyone by taking away a large portion of lunch time for a few days. lunch food is pretty average, except for a few times. also, school doesn't have much control of this but there's fire ants everywhere in the fields.

My daughter has enjoyed being apart of CFHS. She has been able to do AP classes and honor classes that have challenged her in a rewarding way. These classes help get students ready for college level work, so even on her first day of school she has gotten homework or test prep in these classes. She a...
