Cawthra Park Secondary School

Disgusting place. Avoid at all costs. Staff has no concern for student safety. From guns, to racism, to male on female assault/group assaults.extremely low caliber institution. They allow for adult strangers to enter the building and accost minors. Lockdowns, fires, and other dangerous incidents go unreported to parents and community. The list of atrocities are endless. Save yourself and your family the humiliation of participating in this dumpster fire; offensively referred to as a school.

I went here as an Art Major back in the day. My life changed from a 30% in 9th-grade math to graduating with honors in economics and now working on my post grad. At Cawthra, being cool isn't about getting bad grades or picking fights; instead, you have a student body that encourages you to grow as long as you're willing to reach out!

P. S. Most, if not all, students that have ranked this school poorly are those who lack academic motivation, social discipline, and general respect for the amazing teachers and staff.

Parking lot is a zoo. People cut in and out and dont park in open parking spots and block people who are parked in parking spots and cant get out.

In class right now we are looking at the reviews of our school. I’m giving this school three stars because we haven’t seen three stars

I attended Cawthra Park from 1995-2000.so it's been a while. I auditioned for and got into the Dance program which, overall, was an amazing experience. I learned a great deal about dance theory, kinesiology and had wonderful exposure to many different dance styles. In those days we didn't have YouTube so having guest dancers or going to performance art theatres was really the only exposure we had to this world. I still use the knowledge and skills I learned in the regional arts program to this day.
As far as other departments were concerned most teachers were amazing but there were also some duds, as with any school.
Overall, if you have an opportunity to attend an arts high school, take it. It truly enriches your life. I don't ever regret the 1.5 hour public bus rides across the city (each way) to get to and from school. It was all worth it.

Fam this school is the best I have all my courses give me good understanding and the teachers are well developed and they are really good I can’t wait to have those years in cawthra happily fam AKA best school ever.

I like Cawthra. I've had some fond memories here, but being a local student sucks. BIG TIME. I applied for grade 11 open drama, and the next thing I knew, they took it off. Also, we locals hardly EVER go on field trips. This school heavily favors its majors.
