1. There is never one way to learn anything, because ultimately it is up to the student to study and learn the material, not have it spoon-fed by a teacher. 2. Cliques are a part of every high-school and I don't think they are overly prevalent at Curtis. If you just be yourself and stop worrying about what everybody else thinks, you will meet plenty of fun and interesting people. 3. If you take challenging classes such as AP and Honors, the coursework is harder, yes, but it is also more enjoyable and intriguing. 4. My family is not extremely wealthy and I do as well as, if not better than, my 'rich' peers. 5. The reason successful kids thrive here, is because they get involved, meet people, and want to improve. The students that do not, are those that complain about bad grades and then go home and play video games all night.

I am currently attending CHS, and I have previously gone to Lakes High. The academics at Curtis are rigid, and embrace one style of learning, and have very little use for students who learn differently than this. At Lakes, it was easier to learn what was being taught, and the styles of teaching varied more. The social aspect of CHS is also more inflexible. There doesn't appear to be as many cliques as Lakes, but once you become immersed in the actual school setting, you realize that the dynamics of cliques at CHS are more invisible to the outside eye, however, more complicated and hurtful. I very much dislike Curtis and cannot wait to graduate.
