For a school that is severely underfunded with underpaid teachers, it's doing the best that it can do.

What I liked about CCPA is how easy it is to get around the campus as well as how I was able to get computer science classes for free and go a free laptop to help support me in those classes. something I would change is the lunch, the food isn't the best and I think they can do better also teachers tend to pick favorites in their classes and those are the students that they tend to help the most without them even asking for their help so yeah I would change all of that

I have been attending Coliseum College Prep Academy since grade 6 and now I'll be an upcoming senior this fall of 2018. CCPA has help not only grow in my academics, but as a person. I've learned many skills that will help me in the real world such as: networking, having a growth mindset and leadership skills. My school is located in East Oakland, a town known for violence and crime, but my school is completely different. It's my safe place and it's where I get the best education I can within my community.

Teachers sometimes grade you by behavior making your grade go down by a lot. They give too much homework not allowing students to have a life out of school. In conclusion this school is depressing.
