College Park High School Reviews
Rating 3.53 out of 5 356 reviews
The campus is small and the walking period is long, which makes it easy to go from one class to another in time. The administration and faculty only pay attention to students who do not perform well academically and have previous behavioral problems, otherwise, it is easy to go through high school without knowing any of the faculty well. Faculty, especially guidance counselors, have a history of misleading kids and let some "fall through the cracks" in regards to fulfilling the GED requirements in time before senior year. It is not unusual to see a student scrambling in senior year to fulfill their GED requirements in time to graduate by taking a college course at DVC, taking a course that they didn't know they needed to take in high school until senior year, or promising to fulfill their course requirement in summer school. While faculty has tried to lessen the confusion about the GED requirements by giving a presentation every year, the students still go through high school confused
At my high school, I have gained some of the best friends I could possibly imagine. Most of the teachers are great and push me to do my best, but some don't have the best interest of the students. One sad thing at my school is the bad cafeteria food, which luckily, I have never had to eat. I have heard a lot of bad things about the food from other students. Besides that, my experience with College Park hasn't been bad!
College Park High School is an extremely diverse school. Since the school is famous for its enormous population, there are many teachers (both good and unpreferable). One thing that I like about the school is, because of the significant amount of students within the school, everyone has a place to belong. There are friend groups bonding over differing interests, as well as general academic similarity. One change that I would like to see is the lack of variety of AP classes this school has to offer. I really wanted to take AP Japanese as a class in my high school, but College Park does not offer this AP class.
