A majority of the teachers are quite good with the students and have a good teacher/student relationship. The administrative staff from the Principal on down is a lot to be desired. Many a time I had to attend to business at the school, I was very rarely greeted with a smile or greeting, I was more or less asked 'What do you need?' Most of the staff acted extremely irritated to be there. The Principal/Assistant Principal do not uniformally administer their own discipline policy in my opinion. In order for my child to even have a chance at college, I moved my student out of this school. Glad I have no more coming up in the ranks.
Costa Mesa High School is a wonderful place. The math classes are very challenging, and the great thing is, the teachers don't give up on you no matter what. I do have to admit that the counselors at the school are too busy, but they can be helpful in extreme situations.
There is not enough variety in electives. The schools decision to cut home economics courses, especially cooking was a huge mistake. I do not like the new 'academy' system, I think it limits choice and variety. The counseling department needs a complete overhaul.
