Cardinal Heights is a great school for anyone who values academics and works hard. There are a very wide array of classes to choose from, and, in EVERY ONE the teachers push students to put forth maximum effort. The music department is great and every single one of the music teachers wants to help you in any way possible to master your talent. There is also a large number of extracurricular opportunities that accommodate for everyone. From athletics to a wide option of school clubs, there’s something for everyone at CHUMS.
I made good friends at this school and the teachers were mostly pretty great, but some other people are quite awful. There's a lot of swearing, people do drugs in the bathrooms, and no matter what hour of the day it is, there's always kids in the hallways skipping class.
There are many great opportunities for extra-curricular activities at Cardinal Heights Upper Middle School. This school offers all high school sports for eighth graders and ninth graders, while still allowing the ninth grade students to participate in the higher level high school teams like JV and Varsity. However, each one of these sports requires a high level of commitment so that it would be almost impossible to participate in more than one sport during that season. This can be very beneficial, though, because it allows the student to specialize in that one sport with great coaches who will help them succeed. Aside from just sports, this school has many other educational extra-curricular activities as well. There are clubs to award you for being on honors role, clubs for business skills, medical skills, woodworking skills, and so much more that will all help a student to get better at something that they love doing, with little to no cost. Overall, Cardinal Heights offers many extra-curricular opportunities for all types of students.
