My experience has been overall positive. My experience within the performing arts has allowed not only my talent to grow but my skills in leadership, time management and communication. The only downsides to the school are our sports programs are not the best in the district and there is an issue of fighting among students.

My overall experience at Corona has not only been benefited through academics but also socially. The teachers are helpful and flexible, but also my activities help me to truly find myself as a person.

As a student just adjusting to American school culture, I think Corona Del sol is one of the best options to give me that experience, compared to the school I transferred from, Corona has a larger than average campus. This gives me the opportunity to meet new people and create relationships that will last throughout my high-school years.

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...
