California City High Scool, being such a small school, does not have the same scholastic opportunities that big city schools have, but they do well with what they do have. My daughter graduated in 2012 with a high GPA and was easily accepted to numerous colleges. The curriculum that was available to her prepared her for University level instruction and she has been well capable of maintaining Honor Student status. Being from one of the first graduating classes the school had, the teachers did well with what they had and surviving with what they didn't have. The staff was great when communicating about my child's accomplishments and her needs. The Athletic department could be better managed but she survived well through the turmoil. A better Athletic program could of aided her in obtaining sport scholarship opportunities which was denied to her due to constant turnover of coaching staff and lack of knowledgeable coaches. Only complaint was in athletics, other than that Bravo CCHS for continuing to improve your academic program.

I am so proud about my relationship with all my teachers, they are like a bigger family to me. I was unwillingly pulled out of the high school by my parents due to family traveling amount. The teachers argued for my case so that I could stay, but it wasn't enough to convince them. I am very welcome and loved when I come to visit, and help out. I am always asked and told that I need to come back and am misses. Even as one of the higher educated ones at the school, everyone knows me and are all very friendly. It is nice to leave and come back after so long and everyone still knows my name.

I have two son's who attend this school. The teachers are concerned about the well being of the students; not only academically but in their activities as well. We, our entire family, loves California City High School.
