Terrible. I chose to move schools from Southwest at a soulless attempt to have art curriculums in my transcript to get an extra grip onto art colleges, but that very small portion of my academic experience was simply not enough of an improvement from my previous school (Southwest High). This school will not support you academically. Teachers do not care about the success of students. They do not push you/challenge your skills, and very little basic skills you will need in college are not learned or reviewed. They are lazy in helping you surpass your present skills and attitude, but persuade you into wasting hours on doing 8th grade work and later ambushing you with complex assignments with 0 previous practice, assuming you know how to write academically, etc. It’s unfortunate how I, a sophomore in the school have to take my own time into researching and studying things that were not taught to me just to surpass freshmen level work. As a former Southwest High honors student, I saw such a sharp dip in teachers positive behavior. Almost every teacher here does not care about your future, and you will suffer from their lack of responsibility of being a good teacher. I would say it’s laughable how many teachers are unfit for teaching, except they made my mental health deteriorate and was the last straw for me needing a therapist. This is not just a single experience of a child trying to fit into a completely foreign environment, multiple people feel the exact same emptiness of spirit and, well, happiness in the school. Unless you fit in with a subgroup of students your an outcast destined for failure unless YOU do something about learning simple college skills. Southwest High School juxtaposes the spirit so vividly. I don’t mean to promote Southwest, but I will take into account how amazing that school is and felt. It is like a piece of home, you will enjoy being there, because the staff CARES about you, something Chula Vista wished they had. I have broken down 7 times from teachers mistreating me and the amount of stress I have been put under just thinking about the lessons I have missed due to the teacher negligence. Don’t let the infrastructure fool you, it is what you call “hallow in the inside”.

This school is one of the worst schools I have ever attended in my life. The office does not care at all about your problems or concerns, not even the assistance principle. When students have zero period the office assistants are never available for us in case of any questions. The counselors do not help at all with your college, and there are times when they lock the doors and they don't even let you speak to them because they are "busy" , also drugs is another major factor. Their academics are low (very low). People in the main office treat students really bad, yell at them, ignore them, and don't care about their problems. The main office will never care unless a parent shows up "mad" or they wont care anyway. The only place I feel safe asking questions is at the attendance office and there is only ONE person to help. (But shes really nice and understands us students.) This is a bad school and there are lots of bad influence people around the school it is sometimes even scary to walk down some hallways.
