The classes are good enough, you learn what's needed and have many resources to ensure that you pass all classes. The teachers are, for the most part, involved and caring. There are some that only have the goal of passing students, pushing them to the next grade regardless of if they turned in a single paper all year, but that is expected in any public school. However, the counselor system is less than helpful. I am a recent graduate, and struggled with mental issues throughout my 4 years. While that is not the school's fault, many teachers cared more to listen to my struggles than the counselors did. I learned by my second year that if you had an issue, you had better luck going to your favorite teacher. I was told by my counselor that she was here to help with school issues, to fix schedules and make sure everyone passed their classes, not for personal issues. She told me she was not "qualified" to help me with the struggles I had, which were not at all extreme. Many people I know had similar experiences with their own counselors. They push mental health in that school all year, through lessons, advisory meetings, etc., saying if you need help to not hesitate and go to the counselors. But when you go, you are met with someone who is supposedly "not qualified" and get turned away after 10 minutes in their office. Why are they there if they cannot handle part of the job description?

This school literally charge everything and it’s so expensive and it’s so many messy people at this school and some teachers don’t even try and help their students and there is so many rude people at this school because the boys like to hit girls and the girls are basically bully’s.

My child has attended Coyote Ridge for a couple of years. We've had our ups and downs, especially this year. I've had to deal with both the principal and assistant principal several times. The principal is very warm and easy to work with. She's always been kind to both me and my child. However, I have found the assistant principal to be cold and difficult to work with. I much prefer dealing with the principal if given the opportunity.
