Before I came to CSNHS, I went to Foothill High School, which is nextdoor to the South campus.Best decision of my life.Our campus is the smallest of the three, with a fairly tight-knit community and a large number of openly LGBT+ students. It's definitely more White than anything, but there's also been an influx of Filipino kids lately. The teachers are also mostly White, but in general, I'd say we still rank high in equity.The only real exception to my overall enjoyable experience has been the history teacher, whose in-person class I had to leave in favor of the online one because of their unexplained anger towards me. Fortunately, according to the current juniors (I'm a senior now), this year has been a lot better. I choose to believe that that was just an 'off' period in their personal life and not indicative of a pattern of behavior towards past and potential future students, and I'd be open to (and very grateful for!) the opportunity to have one more conversation with them before I graduate.As for the other campuses, I...really dislike them, honestly. I don't know about the high school teachers at the West/Charleston Campus, but the college professors and other faculty there seem to be WAY more uptight than they are at Henderson/South, presumably because West is the main campus (i.e. more attention and more pressure to be perfect) -- but I adore the community here in Henderson. It's easy to be open with most of the teachers because they talk to us less like petulant, untrustworthy children and more like young adults who simply need some guidance before we move on to a 4-year program (which most of us do -- and I know quite a few students who plan to go all the way to medical school).I've genuinely never felt more respected or been taken more seriously as a queer student, and I've encountered far less harassment and invasive questioning about my gender than at any other school I've ever been to -- or in just about any other (non-school & non-queer-specific) environment, for that matter. I've also been able to get accommodations (e.g. more time on tests) for my college classes through the Disability Resource Center, which never would've happened in any of my classes at Foothill HS.Anyway, I hope this has been helpful to someone. I was a little surprised by the serious lack of reviews on here, so I thought it would be nice to help my school get the recognition that it, in my opinion, deserves (and sorely needs).TL;DR: 5 stars.
