Casa Grande High School

Class of 08
Love this school lots of good memories, !

So a different review from the disgruntled student who only went here for one semester. I didn’t go here, I sent my son here for 4 years and had a spouse who taught here for a semester. Thus a different perspective.
The school and the students can be divided into 3 distinct groups and unfortunately so can the teachers who teach them. At the top is about 15% of the students who excel. They’ve got some superb science teachers (especially Physics, Calculus and Chemistry), and their team often places or wins the Statewide Academic Decathalon. The band is highly ranked and competes.
The next 65% or so of the students are the ‘average’ ones, and this school’s as good as any other for them. If they want to succeed and get into the top ranks, they can, if they want to slack off, they will.
There’s also a bottom 20% of the students who are ‘marignal’ which I’d imagine every school has. They cause problems, they hang out, they don’t take academic classes etc. Most of them either drop out or transition to the continuation school.
Thus my review is that this a positive school to send your kids too, especially if they’re smart or want to be smart.

I went to you for one semester of my senior year. Big mistake.
The students at this school were worse than at Petaluma High. The teachers I had weren’t so hot either… oh and the counselor I had was a special person I believe. The principal was a wiener too.
