"Disgusted with my experience at the school. Constant complaints about the schools budget when all they do is waste money. They even went to the extent to hire a school sheriff... This is Calabasas, not Compton. Besides the illogical pattern of spending by the administration, the teachers are also awful. In my four years of attending CHS i had one teacher that i noticed actually cared about my well-being. I know I'm not the only one who thinks this because all of my peers agree that Calabasas is a joke of a school. Calabasas' biggest concern is catching students doing drugs, not delivering a quality education. Policies to try to lower the amount of tardies were also implemented.. which have absolutely failed and are still failing today. The "tardy sweep" is Calabasas' idea of a great way to stop students from being late to class, when really all it does is frustrates and makes students more late to their classes. Before Calabasas becomes a good school they must first learn how to run a school. I can't help but think that they have forgotten the mission statement of a school which is, to educate students and prepare them for life. Horrible experience, wouldn't recommend CHS to any."

"People aren't that snobby; almost everyone is friendly and open if you ask them, for example, time or directions. The kids and teachers are polite, if you drop something, they'll help you pick it up. I can firsthandedly say that anyone who is able to attend Calabasas High School should be honored. This is a very well-managed school. I admit, the sports and ex-curriculars aren't the best, but there is strong emphasis to succeed (sometimes too small) Most people are superficial, but its what to be expected in the coddled Calablackess. Hope you enjoy the school!"

"Overall as a school, it's ok, the teachers are ok, with the exception of a few crazy ones ones and a few good ones. Everything else about this school is horrible, the sports teams, the kids, and any extra curricular activity. Those things you hear about all the kids being stuck up and snobby is true. If you come from Calabasas , you might be used to it, but from anyone in LAUSD or anywhere else, get ready to try and switch out after 3 weeks. Also be prepared to have them call you still even after you leave and request to be taken off the calling list and when you go to the district office to be taken off the calling list. 1 year was enough for me to never go there again."

"I've been very pleased with the teachers at CHS; they have put in extra time with the students and care about individual improvement. The Biology teacher, Ms. Jobsz offered AP BIO tutoring during her lunch-hour in addition to support period. Mr. Kayastha was so thorough in his teaching of regular Geometry, that my one son scored a perfect 600 on the Geo Star Test. One would have thought that you'd need to be in Honors Geometry in order to do that. Both of my students are enjoying the friendships that they are making on separate sports teams...which shows me this is a school that is interested in a well-rounded education."
