6/28/2025
The best things about attending Cienega would be the peers and club/sports activities. There are many great clubs to chose from and this high school has advanced sport teams. I would like to see the administrations involvement with their students change.
2/8/2025
As a graduating senior, I would give Cienega Highschool a 4.5/5. This is a great school to go to especially if you are interested in sports. The best thing about Cienega is how nice and welcoming the staff and students are.
12/8/2024
I enjoy Cienega high school a lot, as a sophomore my 2 years being here have been nothing but great. The teachers have been nothing but great and understanding. I enjoy coming each day to school and learning something new.
