There is no school around this area that I would rather be at! This is my first year in Cupertino and I am loving it. Cupertino seems very united, and excited about school spirit (the teachers and the students) And they pretty much have a wide variety of classes of different levels. People say that Cupertino

There is free tutoring after school in the library, and a class called tutorial that requires everyone to go get help from a teacher. But it also gives room for the star students to shine! The school is divided into cliques and groups, but most of them are non-stereotypical. But overall I would say everyone is very friendly. Read less

When I transferred to CHS, I thought that students here are like the students at my old school. Hence, when people asked the same question, I avoided saying that I m an ELD student. I didn't want my high school life to be like my middle school life. But once, I accidentally said that I m an ELD student. I was surprised when my friends didn t say anything and were cool about that. Thank for that, I m not embarrassed of being an ELD student anymore. Read less
