Sanford H. Calhoun High School Reviews
Rating 4 out of 5 245 reviews
The nature of claiming your high school experience as having a large effect on your future entering college and life as a whole is a common sentiment often facetiously expressed by those who don’t truly mean it, however I can say that the time spent at Calhoun High school, the people I’ve met, the clubs I have attended, the teachers who cared so dearly about my ability as a developing student, has no doubt been incredibly influential to how I carry myself both academically and socially.
It was a very enriching experience. I ad a wealth of clubs to choose from and had a blast participating in the likes of badminton, tennis, and my school choir.
Great school! My son has a learning disability and some teachers are phenomenal and helped us along the way! He got the services he needed and had no problem getting him all he needed and deserved!
