New to the area. We just moved in and have been warmly welcomed. The kids are studious, and the area seems academically minded. High School homework load is about 1 hour to 2 a day. The only complaint I have heard is that the cafeteria food could use improvement... perhaps a sub sandwich bar could be added! :) The school allows online courses with permission, even foreign language if they do not offer a specific one, which is great. Its a good school.

Unacceptable, they sit 3 to a seat on the buses which conflicts with the safety guidelines set by the bus manufacture. Half the teachers don't want to put in the work to fix their mistakes. As in example, the teacher posts the wrong grade in their grade book. Upon the student asking for it to be corrected, the teacher will agree to fix it but will NOT follow through. Putting the GPA of the students below what they should be. On exam day, they made the students stand up during lunch as none of the seats were available. A pathetic display of leadership. The students are students, not your slaves to get your monthly paycheck. This school puts the risk of children everyday from and to school on the bus. This school treats the children as if they were serving jail. The people are more interested in themselves than the children around them. They post homework online even if the student doesn't have online access. They add fees on everything they want to even though they still call themselves public schooling. Which entitles free learning without fees or bills to attend the school. A RIGHT not a privilege for the children. This school may not fail your child, but will most truly treat your child second to their wallet and put them in harms way if it means they get more money. The admin of this school is beyond ridiculously rude. Good luck getting anything worth while to change with people who are so pathetic, they can't even refund a 15 dollar ticket for homecoming. As they should; due to wrongfully turning away people at the door. You should be fired and then put in a factory so that you can't destroy other people's nights due to your incompetent brain.

its a good school with caring teachers and staff. I attend in the specialty center and the work environment is good but you have to want to succeed if not you will preform poorly and find many things difficult in the school.

Both my kids attend Cosby HS one in the honors level program. I have no complaints about the school now that they have a new Principal (2016). Great teachers, very responsive to parents. Quality education and excellent sports programs.
