It has been said, "you don't know what you have until it's gone", I assure you I knew what I had when I attended CCHS, and I loved every second. I could go on for hours regarding the rigorous yet fulfilling education I received, the top-tier sport teams that brought me such pride, or the Drama program led by the incomparable Ms. Katie Wilson that rivals the performances of professional companies... Though, what truly changed and continue to change my life are the relationships I built with my teachers who supported and pushed me well beyond the limits I placed on myself as well as

Absolutely terrible. The students put you down, throw you under the bus, and make you feel like you mean nothing in this world. You can't state one opinion without getting an eye roll or a non incognito whisper from a group of people. The teachers don't teach. They assign unreasonable amounts of homework and give many tests. Now they are using an app called "Schoology." The app makes it easier for the teachers to put in grades, but makes it so much harder for the students to find their grades. They got rid of the Schola choir, so now the choir is terrible. They put more money into sports. The dresscode

My family has been part of CCHS or as it was formerly known as USDHS since the year it opened and my uncle was part of the very first Freshman class. Aside from the fact that it was four of the most enjoyable and fun years of my life, I learned a great deal as well. In college I used texts I had used in high school.Previwe reviewer is 100% off - attending CCHS actually helps your chance at college unlike other schools. Sending your kids to CCHS is one of the best choices you can make for their future.

Class of '12 and tried to transfer to CCA or Torrey Pines every chance I could, and was unfortunately waitlisted on an endless list every time.
The academics are mediocre at best, and will hurt you if you want to get into better schools (I did, and while I did get into all of my top choice schools, it was very blatantly out of all the work I did on the side and my application essays, not from taking non-IB courses (CCHS doesn't offer IB courses....which is a bad thing) and having my gpa withered from a required, non-weighted, worthless religion course at 7 every morning. The sports are great,
