It sucks here. Close Quote

I attended CCHS and it really isn't a great school to attend. Sure, if you are self motivated, then you will graduate with a high GPA, but that's only if you do your own studies in the off time and it possible in any school. It's not a learning environment in that fights occur 2-5 times a week, bullying is never handled seriously, teachers tend to favor students, and the faculty, I'm guessing out of embarrassment, excuse themselves by saying that other schools have their own problems that nobody knows about, so CCHS, regardless of it's faults, is one of the better schools in Texas. This is only true if inner city public schools and schools that are located in the middle of nowhere that focus on football but can't keep up with updating their resources from the 1980s-1990s are compared to CCHS. When compared to schools that are not too focused on the Texas Assessment test and seem to realize that sports and extra-curricular activities should be reserved for individuals who are capable of keeping consistent As and Bs, CCHS is of a lower tier. Keep in mind that Copperas Cove is located in Texas, a state that does not have high ranking schools in part because the Texas School Board and other organizations affiliated with education seems more concerned with how much money they can milk out of the schools with the exception of schools located in Dallas, has a population of very conservative individuals who take great pride in their state's sports teams more so than their educational standards (or lack of) who will criticize science curriculum that might offend their personal beliefs, and where grade deflation in colleges is strongly encouraged. It's not that great of a school, even if a student has to make the best of it on their own. It's the faculty's responsibility to provide a the necessary resources for students, not act as an extension of the corrupt bureaucracy that allows incompetence and mediocrity to be the maximum that can be achieved. Hopefully, this school and others can work beyond making excuses and finally develop a healthy environment for everyone to utilize.
The only area that CCHS has that is worthy of notice it is the English department, but that's only because it still has very dedicated teachers who know how to teach the course, especially AP and GT (more like FGT, Few Gifted and Talented). I graduated with class of 2005, so I'm not sure if they are still teaching there or not. Close Quote
