I went to CCHS for all four years of my high school. At the end of it all, I walked out with many good friends, but I had learned nothing. The teachers neglect to teach. In Algebra I, I probably had less than 10 assignments for the whole year. The teachers who actually try to teach their students are seriously taken for granted. CCHS is a good 'school' to go to if you want to slide through high school easily, spend class time visiting other teacher's rooms, and eating. All anyone cares about at this horrible excuse for a school is sports. If you plan on going to college, be prepared for a rough surprise. If not for my friends I would have left this school and transferred to somewhere where i could actually learn something once in a while.
Being a small school allows our community to truly feel like we are the village---all pitching in to help raise our children. Our kids get lots of one-on-one attention and most everyone can participate in extra-curricular activities.
I would have to disagree with almost every other poster who has written a review on this school. Having been a former student i know that the teachers and administration are more concerned with talking with each other during classtime, rather than focusing on the students and helping them learn. Review any of the schools academic proficiencies and you will soon realize that they are all below state average and on the decline with each passing year. Please consider a different school if you wish for your child to get a better education.
Crystal City High School is definetly not the best choice for a student seeking challenging coursework, Athletics are given much more emphasis than necessary, the disrict spend half a million dollars on turf for the football stadium, and yet the students use books that are falling apart and have teachers that spend the entire class period chatting with thier colleagues. I would strongly reccommend putting your child in a neighboring school.
