For me this last three years cholla high school has been great but I think they could be a little more organized about events that involve students and parents .

Overall if your a student who focuses on work and doesn't get caught up in unnecessary drama your experience here will be good. There are some teachers who will make your life a bit more difficult but there are about 100 good teacher that will help you.

when I was a student at this school, the staff never cared for the students, bullies were rampant and violent. students were disrupting class and the teachers did nothing but allow it to happen and often times quit teaching because of the students misbehavior. some of the teachers would even ignore...

Teachers here can be very supportive, they engage closely with students. Students here often just float through high school a normal rate, I would say the school has gotten better over time.
