Cactus Shadows High School

I was told at the end of my junior year that my math credit I obtained in this district's middle school didn't actually matter and that I now had to take Calculus while the rest of my class was allowed to take precalculus (which I obtained my junior year). The counseling department is atrocious when it comes to their job and when I vocalized my opinion to them regarding this problem, I was silenced. The counselors do not care about your student. Don't punish your child with this place, not until the counseling department is completely replaced. Hoping at least SOMEONE in administration reads this so someone knows there's a problem.

So I am here for a basketball during a pandemic, they are making everyone sit on 1 side of the gym as a precaution, but the gym smells really bad, it is hot & it's looks like it has not been cleaned in months. So I am sure the bleachers have not been cleaned and/or sanitized. It kills me and all I do is laugh!!! They want to take all these precautions in this nasty ass gym! This school is in this nice neighborhood & all? Looking like this. I wouldn't send my student here.

If I could rate Cactus Shadows High School 0 stars I would. Cave Creek Unified School Districs 93 local highschool, Cactus Shadows, is unfit and unsafe. Staff is unpleasant and extremely unhelpful and not true to their word. Almost 95% of students have or partske in illegal drug activity on campus. Some students refer to thsi highschool as a "Crackhouse". Do yourself a favor and do not send your children to this highschool.

My grandson Evan just finished his freshman year having been in Horseshoe Trails Elementary and Sonoran Trails Middle school.  I am extremely pleased with all three schools teachers and administration and how they have developed Evan into a very good student.  While there are always some issues at the school I can say that if you get involved, meet with the teachers and councilors, understand what they have to deal with as well as the security aspects, you will find a lot of support.  We are looking forward to the next 3 years with all the trials and tribulations of the COVID-19 to deal with too!

Worst school to exist, no security or quality teachers. This is debatably the worst school in arizona
