The academics and teachers are mostly good, there are some very bad, uncommitted teachers though. I have had plenty of opportunities for clubs and sports and overall I have had a fairly good time, the administrators are a problem though. Most of them do not want what is best for the students and make teaching harder for the teachers.

The clubs and IB classes I'm in have given me the chance to make friends with those who like the same things as me and are like-minded. A downside is the bathrooms being locked due to the amount of students who vape in certain bathrooms around campus.

I've been there for 4 years now, kids will be kids but I've learn to really enjoy my time there with the friends I have made. My teachers have made my experience better. When I needed help from then they were very accommodating and offered their guidance and help. I work hard and try my best in school just to get into college. My teachers have really supported my friends, other students and i through our time there.

I’m a former student and when I tell you this school is horrible I mean it, the education was terrible and I never saw ONE happy student in any of my classes, they were all either staring at the wall or putting their head down. The teachers were either a hit or miss, all but 2 of my 6 teachers were...

I was very disappointed with my child’s experience at this school. There is a huge teacher and counselor turn around. My kid had so many counselors in the 4 years at the school they didn’t know who she was and she never had any help with college planning etc. There have been long term subs that were...

CCUSD is a one high school district, which gives it a very small town feel. Cactus Shadows does a great job of helping the community feel connected. They offer plenty of extracurriculars for both sports and clubs. The class sizes can be big, but they do what they can when the residents won’t ever pa...
