Calabasas is such a good environment for growth and learning. The faculty and administration make every student and staff feel like we are all one big family. Who can ask for a better learning environment? The academics is one of the best and they are a national blue ribbon school. Everyone is always smiles at Calabasas High!
Nestled in around trees, mountains and hawks children are reminded of the importance of nature. The staff wholeheartedly loves their children and concerns for them with joy and hometown tenderness!
My son finished 9th grade at CHS with some good memories, but overall had a pretty negative experience. The quality of teaching was average with a couple teachers that truly demonstrated a genuine interest in the students and there were some on the other end of the spectrum. Unfortunately, on this campus, there is very little education with regards to respect for your fellow student and the culture interfered with my son's ability to focus on school. He finished with mostly A's and a couple B's and we decided to pull him out of the school for the rest of his high school education and put him into a private school that emphasizes core values and provides a better atmosphere for learning. CHS provides an extensive array of AP & honors classes and for the most motivated students, they can thrive at this school.
The academics at CHS are actually very good. It depends on the classes you take and how hard you try. The teachers are overall pretty good, some better than others. However, I personally really dislike the school on a social level. If you care about things other than cars, clothes, and TV shows, then you will probably be miserable. It's not that the people there are bad. They're actually overall very decent and nothing like the exaggerations in films like 'Mean Girls.' It's just, everyone there lacks any passion. There's absolutely zero diversity. Everyone dresses the same, acts the same, has the same interests. If you are a student, or have a child who has a passionate interest in anything, you should try instead to find them a magnet school, because trust me, they'll be miserable at CHS too.
