Cosby High school is the best high school in the nation!! Excellent teachers, strong school leadership, challenging academic programs. 20+ AP courses. Awesome school, really the best around. Unlike other schools, teachers ENJOY teaching, and bring a special atmosphere. Send your kid to Cosby and you won't be disappointed.

Cosby is a great school. Cosby has a great, brand new facility. Learning is enhanced with top notch equipment and tools. The school is always clean and well maintained . The teachers are a balanced mix of young and experienced. There's opportunities for many different levels of learning, and the teachers do a wonderful job accommodating to student's learning and study habits. My negatives about Cosby is the overcrowding and the lack of a connection of the principal with students. Cosby may be new, but they do draw from a lot of areas, and classes and halls are filled with kids. My classes have had on average a 30/1 student teacher ratio. I do hear they have a method to limit this issue, but time will tell. Cosby's principal does not hold a good connection with students. From what I understand the principal are nice, but they're rarely seen during school hours. Making connections with your students is key for the school's well being, but that can't happen within their office. The principal is present at events, but they don't seem to want to be there. I do understand being principal has a lot of responsibility, but they seem to JUST do their job, and not more, which is a shame.

My son is a sophomore at Cosby High School and he really likes it. I am very pleased with the school atmosphere, the teachers and the academic programs. If your child plays an instrument, the Cosby Titan Band is very highly rated with an excellent instructor. Last year they earned their 1st ever Virginia Honor Band title.

Cosby High School, besides being a beautiful building, has a fantastic arts program. My granddaughter is in the band there and I don't think I have ever heard a better school band. Additionally, she is able to take some college classes in this, her junior year.

The teachers are the best! Beautiful facility!

I'm a senior at Cosby High School and I take great pride in saying I attend 'The Best High School In the Nation'. I have no complaints about this school and consider my education at Cosby to be superior. I attended another school freshman year before Cosby was opened and I believe Cosby trumps this school greatly. It really is the BEST HIGH SCHOOL IN THE NATION!

I'm a sophmore at Cosby, and I have to admit that it is an exceptional high school. The teachers are amazing, and know how to make the curriculum bearable. The athletics program is beyond excellent, and sort of give you bragging rights when you encounter students from other high schools. The band program is also amazing, and I'm not just saying that because I have friends who are in the band. Their Christmas concert was spectacular this year and it was all so captivating, it almost makes you forget for a second that you're listening to a high school band. Now the only qualm that I have about the school, and it took me awhile to realize this, but the administration seems to lack a connection with the students. But overall, you'd be lucky to attend Cosby, I know I am. Cosby truly is 'The Best High School is the

I am a parent with students that attend Cosby High School and also friends with many of the teachers at Cosby. My children are consistently challenged and feel that they are receiving a top-notch education. The extracurriculars are great as well. The school is wonderful with the exception of the principal. The principal never leaves her office and many of the staff members feel that morale is very low because she is constantly out to get them and micromanages from her office.

This school has an active administration that is interested in all aspects of student life. In addition to taking an active role in planning events for the students, the principal and head of guidance make themselves available to the community by sponsoring Titan nights in family homes that allow parents to meet and ask questions in small groups. There is a tremendous focus on academics and the teacher population devotes many hours outside of the classroom to support the success of the students. The school has an innovative homework recovery program that holds the students accountable for all assignments.
