Calvin High School is a caring and devotional school. The faculty go out of their way for the students. Teachers show each and every student confidence and compassion.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted March 3, 2010

Calvin is, in all truth, a school devoid of any potential for joy with it's students. Through the administration and faculty the students are treated like they are nothing more then a number, not a human being with free will or even individual oppinions. I think it is a poor example of the education system our nation tries so hard to perfect.
