I was bullied and abused by fellow students and the school administration did nothing to help. Class of 79-83.

As a previous student, class of 2000, I have to say this is probably the best school in the area. Teachers there are/were amazing. They care very much about individual student progress and push them to reach for the stars. If I didn't live 3000 miles away now, my kids would definitely go there!

The teachers and administration can't even enforce the dress code. That an easy thing to do and they can't even do that. LAZY!!!!

They have a great music and arts dept., My daughter is becoming and amazing musician from the teachers there and the chorus is professional in my opinion-like a broadway show. The academic programs are super and teachers communicate well by email and take interest in students. Classrooms are not overloaded and I feel the campus is safe and well supervised. There are plenty of choices to introduce kids and prepare them for college or life career choices.

i am a student at Cactus. and it is by far the best school to go to. We have a great athletic program and the teachers really care about the students and what happens to them. The teachers want the students to suceed in life and go for there goal.s

As a student at Cactus, I believe I have a very worthy point. The main problem at Cactus is that the students and teachers alike, seem to only care about the minimum. The teachers don't push their students for excelling grades but for what is expected of them. The curriculum is rushed through and no true knowledge is taken from any of the core classes.

I love this school. I have a daughter that attends. The staff seems very focused on providing a quality education to the students and seem to care about them.
