Attending high school at Coolidge High School has helped me become a better person & grow more as a young woman ever since my freshman year. There were some high's & low's that i experienced but overall i couldn't be more grateful for the admiration not giving up on me.

I loved Coolidge High School because they offer a lot for the students there, there is a lot of opportunities for you as a student. I would like to see them talk about the opportunities that they offer more. Even though I knew about them a lot of my friends didn't. I mostly knew about the different things because my teachers were the ones who were head over the opportunities but if you weren't in there class you wouldn't have know. But besides that the school is good. The staff really cares a lot about the kids and there's always someone you can talk to there. I do feel like the teachers can engage more with the students. a lot of y teachers had an I don't care attitude about stuff. I mostly confined in the counselors and deans. I definitely will say they seemed to care more than the teachers.
