    Performing Arts Center review. I recently attended a student…read moreperformance at their Performing Arts Center. When viewing the campus map online it appeared much larger and much more confusing than it actually was. The PA Center was immediately to my left as I pulled onto campus, very easy to find and parking was extremely close too! I also viewed the theater seating chart online to pick my seat. I really loved that it showed me which seats would have a blocked view, encouraging me to pick another one. The theater seemed much larger online than it actually was. So when I chose a front row seat, I had no idea I would be "kick up my feet onto the stage" close. It was still a great seat and I could see the entire performance. The acoustics were good as was the lighting. They could definitely use another bathroom, one is not enough!

    They have a bully culture that goes unchecked by staff. If you have an issue the principles shrug…read moretheir shoulders and say there's nothing they can do. Even when you request a meeting with the other party's parents and the school, the school declines and allows the behavior. Not a very welcoming learning environment. If other students call your child a racial slur nothing is done. This is ONE OF the earliest environments these children should learn what is socially, ethically, and morally acceptable because obviously they are not learning this at home. To not hold children accountable for their actions is enabling them to continue the deplorable behavior. In addition the school is saying they agree and encourage the behavior by doing nothing to punish or prevent this behavior.

    The school cannot support and does not tolerate atypical teens. We were forced to withdraw our…read moresenior 1 semester from graduation because he was in the restroom too long. He is a good student but high-functioning autistic. He is quirky. Not violent or disruptive. Our teen was bullied, but the school did nothing. The school called the police on him over an "anonymous" accusation that was unreasonable and false. Being different at CCHS made him an easy target by students and enough reason for admin to dismiss him. No compassion. The Learning Center is just a study hall. Unqualified and unsupportive staff. One confused our son causing him to fail to sign up for extra time for his final. BTW, extra time was a pre-approved accommodation for all tests. He went from an A to C in that class. Teacher nor staff did anything to right this wrong. Our kid lost out on AP Physics and Comp Sci exams and Calculus because his new public school does not offer those classes. CCHS was a waste of money.

    Attended CCHS from 2006-2009. I didn't graduate from Cathedral because I switched schools to…read moreattempt to get an easier admission to a local college by being within the SDSU school district zone of admission (CCHS is out of that zone). The facilities of course are amazing, and they should be for the cost of tuition. I'm happy to say that I survived the Catholic school experience from 1st grade all the way to 11th, I am thankfully not indoctrinated into the Catholic faith. I am 32 now and a satanist (the satanic temple, which is a non-theistic religious organization. No, we don't worship the devil because they do not exist). As for my experience: all high school experience differ, but for the most part I think many struggle in high school. I was not from a wealthy family, and being surrounded by students whose parents were wealthy beyond my 15 year old comprehension was difficult in ways that might sound ridiculous. It wasn't the other student's fault, the class system is systemic and I was not in poverty (nobody going to CCHS is in poverty). I remember feeling singled out many times because of my uniform not being just right, but I couldn't afford to hem it. I'm not sure if it's the same now, but in the early '00s there was a rotating block schedule. Red days and Gold days, 123 and 456. Complicated, but that was one of the better aspects of the school overall in my opinion, it was to prepare us for college, I think? The worst part of my experience at this school was simply my unwillingness to accept benign answers to questions about religion that my teachers didn't know how to answer. If you're being forced as an adolescent to learn about a religion, it is not acceptable to make that student feel like a problem when they ask questions or criticize the religion they're being forced to "practice". I was also bullied pretty viciously for a period of time, but I don't think I can blame the school for a peer-to-peer problem. My biggest concern: I was a student here during a time when using certain words to describe something that's "dumb" or "stupid" or "annoying" would be considered a hate crime today.. it was completely normal. There were VERY few minorities in my class of over a thousand students. I cannot imagine what being a student in an environment like that must be like today. Where any questions of gender, romantic preference, or religious differences are seen as a hindrance to the overall organism that is a catholic high school. I truly hope that has changed, but I have serious doubts that it has. Upsides: the theatre program was amazing, and choices of elective classes were really cool, stuff like media class (which i took) where I learned that music production was a passion of mine, as well as access to VERY expensive camera and audio equipment that we were allowed to take home and bring back. Again though, for the cost of tuition, this is expected. Having swim be an option for P.E. class was pretty cool in my opinion, minus the smell of chlorine in my hair for the rest of the day depending on which day it way (rotating block schedule, again). Extreme Downsides: religious trauma. I drank at school, along with many other students who used substances (the kind I couldn't afford, some might say it's ski-slope related), despite there being spontaneous drug dogs that would come. I had friends with severe eating disorders. Lunch was not free, and although the options at the outdoor lunch shop were wide and diverse, many days I just didn't eat because unlike other students, I couldn't afford lunch (was bullied for this, too). It's not the student's choice where they go to school for the most part, but if you're a parent reading this, please please please spare your child the difficulty of the Cathedral Catholic experience. Do Montessori instead if you've got the money and want to skirt public school for whatever reason (I understand there ARE serious reasons to not want public school for your child). Two stars because some of the teachers were subversive and amazing, although they didn't last long because of it, plus the facilities were brand new and really great. I made it out and am now a functioning adult living in San Francisco with my partner of 10 years, as a socialist and satanist, factor that in as you'd like to. ‍ if you care about your child's long term mental health, maybe don't send them here.
