I would say the best is the atmosphere that the teachers create in the school. I would like if they changed the way the bathrooms are managed, because I know the kids make it hard to control, but they could look the kids that need to be watched, and take more actions against fights at school, if the teachers feel that a fight might occur they should contact the office.

The Administration and Faculty at Charles Shea High School are dedicated individuals who go above and beyond for their students . During this pandemic they have assured that their students were being successful not only in their academics but their overall health as well. I am extremely grateful to have the support and encouragement of this great team.

My experience with Charles E Shea High school is not all that bad, and large part of the teachers that work there actually care about their students,and want them to succeed, and do better. Although the food is not all the great, most of my teachers from Shea pushed me to do better, however you cannot rely on them to do all of the work for you, the student has to want to do the work, he/she has to want to do better, and most of the students that go to Shea just do not have that mentality.

Horrible. My sister went here and she didn't learn what she needed to prepare herself for college. This made college courses extra difficult and keeping up was a struggle. This school should prepare it students better.
