I think this is a great school. They are moving in the New Tech Direction. The teachers are very driven and the students are trying very hard to adjust to the New Tech Model.

I dislike this school so much. There is no discipline involved and even teachers dont get in trouble for saying inappropriate things.

Here's the deal. Calumet is a great school. we may not have the best test scores, the finest things, or even the most successful sports teams, but we try and that is what matters. With great teachers like: Mr. Alb, Mr. Wadkins, Mr. Trevino, Mrs. Weirzbecki, and many others that put their hearts into teaching, and trying to make a difference in every single one of their students' lives. The coaches here are remarkable. Just like the teachers, but even more so, they push you to do your best. It is a popular belief that it is the teacher's fault if a student fails, or does bad in school. This is not true. A teacher can only do so much, and making a child want to learn, or do anything in class is rarely possible. The behavior of these kids I blame on the lack of parental support.

I think Calumet is an o.k. school. I mean ya we don't have all the nice things other schools have but who cares. As long as the teachers aren't rude people then the school is great. No not all the people in this school get along, but other then that the people here are fine. As long as you follow the rules you will have a blast here trust me. If you get all your work done you can talk all you want as long as there isn't any other work needed to be done. I would rate this school a 7 out of 10. But i have only been here for almost 1 year so it might get even better. My favorite teacher would have to be Ms. Gabbert. She is my gym teacher and she is very nice and listens to everything you have to say.

I am a current senior at Calumet and I have read all of the reviews which can seem very misleading to someone who has not been around Calumet for a number of years. We have a new principal now named Mr. Freeman who puts his heart and soul into leading our school. He is a phenomenal person. Then there are our teachers at CHS who do an outstanding job of helping us to learn and not only teaching us the lessons in their subject areas, but they also teach us some of the fundmentals of life; often teaching us things that our parents should be teaching. Some of these teachers have become a crutch for the students, and many students find a support system withing that building. Calumet is a gold mine of knowledge and support. Anyone who speaks ill of it hasn't been paying attention...

I have never gone into a School And when the students are asked Do you think theres a racial Problem they Laughed and no one! raised there hands I have never seen More students get along in one grouping sure there is some teasing but in all Everyone seems to be Friends. The school doesnt get much money no. Ive attended Calumet highschool For 3 Years. I have not found a a problem in our teachers or anyone. Also are principle Does not have a lack of leadership.

Calumet is a 'middle of the road' school. By far not the best in area and not the worst. I have found the guidance counselors a total and utter disappointment. They not only don't respond to the students, they don't respond to parents either. Some of the teachers show great commitment and interest in their students, such as Ms. Wierzbicki..but far too many allow way too much goofing around & poor performance in their classrooms.

I've been attending Calumet High School for two years now. I believe this school can be just as good as every other school if we just try our hardest at everything.Not just only in sports.We needed to work on learning too.I try my hardest in school not just for myself and my parents. For the whole entire school and the cheer sqaud. To show that we have people in this school trying to be all that they can be and more.I know everyone in this school can achieve their goals and dreams if they just try hard enough and never give up on themselves or others.They need to remember that we all our the school not just a few people.

I am a Student at Calumet I feel it has some of the best teachers that you can find. The teachers are always willing to help and devoted to teaching.Some of the teachers I feel are the best are both of the Keehn's, Patack, Hobart,and Shimek.
