My personal experience with corona del sol has not been the best, when picturing what high school was going to be I thought it would be fun and safe but corona was the opposite for me. I can say I did make good friends and had fun with that but for the most part my high school experience was not good.
10/27/2024
My overall experience at Corona has been really nice. In all of the years that I have been there, I have learned so much. The teachers there are super nice and some of them have definitely helped me a lot in my studies for me to further advance in my education and I have received the help I need wether it be from students or teachers. A lot of the htings involving school are so much fun and I feel very involved with the students. The bad thing I don't like is when the bathrooms are really dirty or sometimes they would even close the bathrooms or not let us go or sometimes we can't go to the bathroom because someone is using the hall pass to just wander around when someone that actually needs to go could be using it. I feel like some of the teacher should approach their methods differently or just maybe approach things in a different way. Overall, I would say that Corona is a very good school with good teacher, and the school itself does a good job at everything.

I have been attending Corona Del Sol High School since my Freshman year. The overall community at Corona is very friendly and grows constantly, people from all over are welcome and I think the school does a great job at keeping their students and staff safe. There have been hiccups when it comes to college readiness, unless you take college pre as a class you won't be getting a lot of information and help to graduate high school, and I believe that is something they should fix and work with.

I used to go here, and I liked it kinda, I do miss it but the only problem is the office ladies. Most of them are so rude for no reason, it was my freshman year and I have never in my life met them and they were being rude as heck. Like what is your problem, one time one of them yelled at me for not...

as a student here, its an ok school. its big, almost 3000 students, and the hallways are busy. classes are challenging if you're in honors, teachers are good for the most part, clubs are cool, sports teams are good. if you're looking for a standard high school, this is a good school, but if your kid...

The school used to be good. Then from the district to the school level, the administration got a shake up. The results? Good teachers left in droves and it is very difficult for students to pursue extracurricular activities. The most ridiculous reason I heard was that some activities are too expensi...

I’m only a junior, but in my two completed years here, I always feel prepared and eager to learn. The friendships I’ve made will no doubt carry into adulthood and the bonds I’ve made with each of my teachers are unforgettable. Anyone who considers coming to Corona will always get the same response f...
