Cedar Cliff High School

it sucks. honest to god, i've considered going cyber school so many times. cedar cliff is honestly a joke.

I am very interested to know others thoughts on the State Ranking for Cedar Cliff at roughly 373 out of roughly 681 high schools. My son is headed there for 2018, and the basis for the ranking on SchoolDigger indicates a barely passing grade on students understanding of math and science, which is what my son excels at. Time to move?

My brothers and I all graduated from CC. Never thought about writing a review on here, but after seeing some of these I felt it was necessary. This is a very good Public School and just like any Public School, you get what you put into it. So reviews about your girlfriend's neglect to her kid's attendance or questioning projects or the foreign language dept for why your kid can't speak a single sentence after 3 years don't provide any helpful insight to outsiders looking in. Some people need to do less finger pointing and look in the mirror. If your kid wants to slack and put no effort into their schooling then it doesn't matter where they go, they'll still be where they came from. Cedar Cliff provides plenty of opportunities to get in AP level classes, many of the teachers have become huge role models for me even to this day, the athletics are getting better every year, the music and arts dept is awesome, and since it's a smaller high school (compared to CV, CD, and a couple other monsters in S. Central PA) you get the individual attention you need at that age. Some schools treat you almost like another number and you have no connection to the teachers or admin staff outside of the building, but at CC they still keep that on the forefront. Cedar Cliff is a great community altogether. The school is old, but they've done some reconstruction that I haven't seen yet so that's still up in the air (at least for me). But if you're wavering on a couple different schools in the area then you won't be disappointed if you go with the Cliff.

My brother and I are graduates of Cedar Cliff, and both of us went to ivy league schools. Although I wish I had more of an advantage, I do feel that I was as prepared for college as any other student at the university. I feel that the education I received in high school and the quality of teachers were top notch. I would actually rank one or two teachers to be as passionate about teaching as my college professors I also loved the size of CC. There are a ton of extracurricular sports, clubs and activities. Pretty much if you stick with something for four years, you re running it by junior or senior year. All the amenities are there. The bottom line is that Cedar Cliff will challenge you if you desire to be challenged.
