Im a new student at cvm and I love it the food is good, and the new principal is amazing he cares about the other students the teachers are very nice and do a good job teaching. I have no bad teachers currently and all of them are nice. there is a afterschool program that allows students to do cooking classes and they have a game room we can go to arts and crafts, soccer, basketball, tennis, volleyball, baseball, and all of them have boys and girls league.

Terrible. I chose to move schools from Southwest at a soulless attempt to have art curriculums in my transcript to get an extra grip onto art colleges, but that very small portion of my academic experience was simply not enough of an improvement from my previous school (Southwest High). This school will not support you academically. Teachers do not care about the success of students. They do not push you/challenge your skills, and very little basic skills you will need in college are not learned or reviewed. They are lazy in helping you surpass your present skills and attitude, but persuade you into wasting hours on doing 8th grade work and later ambushing you with complex assignments with 0 previous practice, assuming you know how to write academically, etc. It’s unfortunate how I, a sophomore in the school have to take my own time into researching and studying things that were not taught to me just to surpass freshmen level work. As a former Southwest High honors student, I saw such a sharp dip in teachers positive behavior. Almost every teacher here does not care about your future, and you will suffer from their lack of responsibility of being a good teacher. I would say it’s laughable how many teachers are unfit for teaching, except they made my mental health deteriorate and was the last straw for me needing a therapist. This is not just a single experience of a child trying to fit into a completely foreign environment, multiple people feel the exact same emptiness of spirit and, well, happiness in the school. Unless you fit in with a subgroup of students your an outcast destined for failure unless YOU do something about learning simple college skills. Southwest High School juxtaposes the spirit so vividly. I don’t mean to promote Southwest, but I will take into account how amazing that school is and felt. It is like a piece of home, you will enjoy being there, because the staff CARES about you, something Chula Vista wished they had. I have broken down 7 times from teachers mistreating me and the amount of stress I have been put under just thinking about the lessons I have missed due to the teacher negligence. Don’t let the infrastructure fool you, it is what you call “hallow in the inside”.

My Daughter is attending Rice on a Zone Transfer, she is in the Dual Immersion program. I have seen a lot of progress with her! She is speaking both languages her teachers have been amazing and it shows with my daughter! Rice has the Winner Teacher of the Year for the School District 22/23. We are very proud of her! Principal Mrs Konkoly is the Kindest Principal Ive ever seen! Great school will keep my daughter there till she graduated for 6th grade! Great office staff as well!
