  No matter how many times you take down an honest review, I will continue to put this back up. This school has received impeccable ratings solely because of its (truly) advanced curriculum and uniqueness. However, as a former student (now high school graduate from CTHS), I feel obligated to communicate to parents and students about my experience at this school. Mia Hall was the head of the staff when I attended school, and was very discriminatory about LGBT students. This caused severe emotional damage to me personally, along with not only my friends, but fellow alumni. Ms. Hall was under investigations for claims like these. Mr. Florence was a very hateful teacher that liked to bully students for their looks. I was so excited to be accepted into a school with so much "Diversity and opportunities". In the end I stayed for 3 years and I regret sacrificing my emotional well being for this school's ridiculously high standard for academics and behavior. Parents, I understand the desire to put your children in this school, as is your choice. Students, remember that your character card does NOT define you, you will continue to shine even if youre not a "YWLA gem". Do not let their expectations dull your shine, you are important. I hope this review can shed some light as to what the talented students that attend this school must endure.
