Crown Point High School

I came to CPHS from a tiny private school where I was friends with everybody, to this huge school with 2500 other kids. Although it was intimidating and hard at first, I've grown to love it. A lot of reviews have reprimanded CPHS for many of the students' materialistic views and low moral standards, but the reality is that anyone can find friends who are not like that. Anyone can find a niche where their talents and interests can develop and they will be valued, if only they try. Teachers here care about our success and will go the extra mile to help. There's no denying that there are always those students who seem "fake" and materialistic, but there's so much more to CPHS than that group. I'll be a senior this fall, and when I graduate, I'll be forever grateful to Crown Point HS for the opportunities for growth and preparation for my future that it has given through friends, teachers and the positive atmosphere.

Well I am currently a sophomore, and after going to the CPSC for the last three years I have realized that I do not like it at all. So, by my desicion I decided to go live back with my dad. After giving Crown Point a try I still couldnt not stand it. Do not get me wrong the school academically is great. . BUT the students there are HORRIBLE. Very mean, very rude, very JUGEMENTAL. I was NEVER one to not fit it. but even still being there for three years I still did not fit in anywhere. And i really couldnt understand why. I mean i am very well liked and everyone was shocked when i came back and told them the reason i decided to return. I mean I am a good kid. I am very respectful, never hurt or be rude to anyone. I didnt smell or anything lol. And i wore nice appropriate clothing. I would not recomend brigningyour children here. Its like a mini California with fake tans, nice cars, and expensive things. And those students often frown upon the students who dont have those sort of things. and i think it is really sad, that alot of these kids judge by material. So its a good thing bad thing. Great education...no social life and low self esteem.

I am a freshman at CPHS right now and I want to know what is up with all the bad reviews? Sure you have the students that are really mean and annoying but you get that with any high school you send your kids to. Personally, I really like it here at CPHS. The classes are fun (most of them anyways.) I am also involved in the music department and I agree that they neglect those of us that like music and such. I am in the marching band (Royal Regiment). It's a blast. If you were considering not sending your kids here, think twice. I believe that they will enjoy it. The teachers are great and your son/daughter will be sure to agree with that.

Five years ago my wife and I moved our family in to the Crown Point School system and were very happy. Over the last few years we have become very upset over what is allowed to happen in the schools, not from an education stand point but more from a moral stand point. If I had it to do all over again I would not have made the move to CP schools. I can't move again and my wife and I have seriously considered home schooling our 3 kids. If you do not care what your kids are subject to and you are only concerned with education the CP is for you. If you want your kids to have moral standards then think twice before sending your kids to CP schools, specifically the high school.

It is an awesome school!! I go there and I have to say that I'm happy I don't attend any other school! The education plus the school's atmosphere is wonderful and the teachers here are very welcoming too. Any kid would be lucky to attend this school and be apart of this experience as a bulldog. I am truly proud to say that I and always will be an honorary bulldog.

I graduated from the old Crown Point High School. I had my shared of good teachers and bad teachers. I think that's normal for every school. I have heard so many bad things from parents and from students since the new school has been up. I personally think that the school is too big now. The teacher's are probably getting flustered and can't help the way they use due to the increase in children. I know that I was disapointed (and I'm not the only one) when I heard they were putting so much money into the sports area of the school. CP was origionally know for it's music and arts. I think that they should have left well enought alone. They should have put more money into music and arts and education development rather than the sports stuff.

I can understand why kids don't like Crown Point High School. As a parent, there is a rule book, that is supposed to be followed, and many of the teachers send the kids home with signature pages and contracts for the student and the parents to sign. Somewhere in the middle of the year those 'contracts' and forgotten about. Not only that, parents receive no respect from the teachers. We are treated like trash. No wonder kids want to drop out, if I am being treated this badly, how are my kids being treated? My advice to everyone, enroll your kids somewhere else. Stay away from Crown Point High School.

No kid really likes their school, but I absolutey cannot stand Crown Point High School. There are far too many students, which was very very distracting for me. Just something about that school couldn't keep me in it for over 4 hours. I'm really not a 'bad' kid, I don't rebel agaisnt my parents , and I get good grades, but something about the high school just makes me want to walk out at any given moment. Don't get me wrong, most of the staff there are very caring and actually have respect for us students, maybe it's just the ridiculous, unruly, drama-causing students that I don't like. Crown Point High School has to have the most hateful students I have ever seen.
