I personally think Charleston is a great school. Like every other school, it has it's pros and cons. If you're a shy person, Charleston is different than other schools.

I have been at Charleston for my entire school career, and to be completely honest, I hate it. Grades K-6 were great as far as education goes, but once I entered seventh grade, everything became centered around sports. Charleston definitely has a great athletics program, however school is NOT about
... Read more athletics-- it's about education. I'm currently in my Freshman year, and the majority of my teachers are coaches. In these classes, we hardly ever learn anything from the teachers. Instead, we are assigned book work in which we 'teach ourselves.' I can honestly say that I am not prepared for college, and I am looking to change schools my Sophomore year. If you're looking for a school that is strong in athletics, but weak in education, Charleston High School is a great school for you! Read less

While Charleston does not offer a wide variety of sports related activities, it exceeds the average number of professional and academic clubs avalable at similar sized schools. Students do not only participate in these clubs, they excell when put into competion with other schools, regardless of size.
... Read more It is my personal opinion that the community puts a great deal of emphasis on sports while the school tries to combat those pressures with academic type activites. While the administration understands the value of sports, they attempt to allocate their resources in a manner that allows the non 'jocks' to receive the same benefits. Overall, the school is in excellent shape, regardless of my spelling, but it has a hard time overcoming the pressures associated with the small community. Academically, Charleston is second to none, even compared to the larger schools which are suppose to be more 'efficient', according to the gov. Read less

This school's only extreme problem is the lack of extracurricular activities! The sports department consists of basketball, football, and track related events! Where as schools like lavaca and greedwood encourage sports like volley ball, soccer, and tennis! Why dose charleston refuse to have these

By not offering everything charleston has the obvious power to, they are leaving out a large part of of mine and many other young adults high school and lives careers! They are closing windows of oppurtunity for many young adults! So please if you read this, try and help us extend our horizions! Talk to Mr. Story, and Mrs. Moore!
