My son finished 9th grade at CHS with some good memories, but overall had a pretty negative experience. The quality of teaching was average with a couple teachers that truly demonstrated a genuine interest in the students and there were some on the other end of the spectrum. Unfortunately, on this
... Read more campus, there is very little education with regards to respect for your fellow student and the culture interfered with my son's ability to focus on school. He finished with mostly A's and a couple B's and we decided to pull him out of the school for the rest of his high school education and put him into a private school that emphasizes core values and provides a better atmosphere for learning. CHS provides an extensive array of AP & honors classes and for the most motivated students, they can thrive at this school. Read less

The academics at CHS are actually very good. It depends on the classes you take and how hard you try. The teachers are overall pretty good, some better than others. However, I personally really dislike the school on a social level. If you care about things other than cars, clothes, and TV shows,

It's just, everyone there lacks any passion. There's absolutely zero diversity. Everyone dresses the same, acts the same, has the same interests. If you are a student, or have a child who has a passionate interest in anything, you should try instead to find them a magnet school, because trust me, they'll be miserable at CHS too. Read less

I am a current student at CHS. I truley love this school! I think that it's a great choice for oncoming students. I have heard some people saying this school has poor academics and all that.

People with different interests who mesh well together. Friends that stay together and conquer the school! I am very happy to go to such a welcoming school! So take my advice, this school rocks!

i am a student at calabasas high school. I came to this school from A.C stelle. At first, I heard that calabasas was a horrible school and the kids were rude, spoiled, and inconsiderate, so i didnt want to go there. After i've been there, all of thoes rumors are fake! its absoultly amazing! Most of

The homework is a good amount of time. You can really tell that the teachers care about teaching you. I have many friends that go to augora, and they don't like school as much as I do. They tell me that the teachers dont care, and the kids start so much drama. I am so glad i came to calabasas! Read less

I am a current student at Calabasas. While I love the school overall, there's definite room for improvement. There are some great teachers, and there are some absolutely awful ones as well who are unclear, unhelpful unfair, and unable to control their classes. There's a lot to do on campus... sports,

Out of 2000+ student population, you probably will not have trouble finding people to befriend. There is a strong AP/honors program as well for the academically oriented and many CHS students go onto great colleges and universities upon graduation. The administration and new principal are nice and try to help students the best they can. So pretty much my only complaints about CHS are lack of good cafeteria food (overpriced and yucky), some incompetent teachers, and lack of diversity. Good school overall. Read less

I am a student at Calabasas high school, overall it is an average school. You might hear people saying that the kids at this school only drive Mersades and BMW's and they walk around wearing $2,000 outfits, but that is a complete exaggeration. Sure, some of students have nice things ,but that dose not

A great thing about this school is that there are many diferent groups of people with certain interests,so it's very easy to find people that have the same interests as you. From my point of view, the teachers at CHS aren't the greatest. Some teachers are better than other's. The music program at CHS is amazing, we have 3 jazz bands ,3 chiors, 1 orchestra, and 2 ensembles,so there is a lot veriety and it's a lot fun. I hope i helped Read less

Sure, they are many great teachers, but there are also many that have no business being there. The administration cares more about API scores than teaching the students and could care less about SAT/ACT scores.

Don't let the high test scores lead you into thinking CHS is a 'great' school. It's very academically oriented, which is great, but the culture of the school is toxic. There is not much diversity, ethnically or economically. There have been at least 4 new principals in the last 5 years. The art deparment
