The counselors will tell new students one thing and the next day say something completely different. This school is very unorganized. Since i am a new student this is very vexing.

I attended Cal High for about 5 months. I absolutely loved the school! The campus is great, the teachers as well and simply the atmosphere is amazing. I was told it recently ranked a 10 and it simply left me in awe. I would do anything to go back to this wonderful school.

Beautiful campus, great curriculum, and friendly teachers and counselors. Yes, it can be overcrowded (hell, 16 students in my French class don't have textbooks yet), and if you're new, there's a 95% chance you'll get lost due to the unique structure of the school, but overall, I'm glad I chose Cal High. An added bonus? Block scheduling. Your amount of HW has been reduced.

Cal Hi is as good or better than any of the schools in the area. The school deserved it's recent recognition from the state. Their programs, from AP to the Academies, offer opportunity to all levels of students.

Cal Hi is way too overcrowded. There's enough supplies in class and everything, but it's just hard getting to class on time because the hallways feel like a stampede! Some teachers should definitely not be teaching there because they're either too old or don't know what they're doing. Majority of the teachers there are really good and easy to talk to. They discipline a little too much here as well.

I graduated from Cal-Hi, class of '02. I took advantage of AP and honors classes, sports, as well as student organizations, all of which I believe led directly to my attendance and completion of a degree at UCLA. The teachers in these advanced classes at Cal-Hi do care and are willing to aid students that express a desire to learn.
