While there is always room for improvement and more work to be done, educators at Chemawa are excited to do the work. The energy level at Chemawa is undeniable.

My grandson is black and was bullied. When he stood up for himself he always got suspended or in trouble. Racist school. 77% Hispanics 6 percent black, lower percentage other races. If you're Hispanic you'll be fine. Not much support from the teachers and upper management system. Not happy.

This is a terrible high school. The atmosphere is very unwelcoming. Many staff members here are extremely rude and strict. Some teachers give you overwhelming amounts of homework and only one day to do it even though they sometimes don't upgrade the grade book on time when report cards are about to get sent out. I had a Spanish teacher for level 2 Spanish that spoke Spanish 75% of the time in class even though some of us did not understand a lick of it, and we had no daily routine whatsoever. Not to mention there is no shade during lunch, so when it gets really sunny or rains hard there is no where comfortable to sit. I have absolutely nothing good to say about this school.

It's unfortunate that the school rating isn't higher. I have been attending RVS since the beginning of middle school, and will now be graduating in 2017. This program has provided me with new and different opportunities to expand my knowledge. All of my teachers put in effort to aid me in achieving my educational and personal goals. With the help of AVID, I have build new skills and got accepted to my #1 choice university. I'm proud to be a student at RVS.

As a student that is in 7th, I have a lot to say. The school can be a little intimidating once you are new, but if you are friendly and talk to people you find nice, you will feel more confident there. However, there are a few issues of drama since there are a few bullies that occasionally harass you, but if you find a way to make peace and chill a little, they can be pretty nice and smart. The staff is nice and the teachers are very kind and will help you with anything. I have been going here since 5th and overall, everyone can be nice if you can stay on their good side.
