CHHS truely isn't what they make it out to be. I am currently attending the school and i can honestly say that i feel as though i am getting cheated out of an education at times.

There are a few dedicated teachers, who pride themselves on teaching their students and making sure that by the end of the year that they leave their class feeling as though they have actually learned something. A few teachers can't hold up an entire school though. I really wish that i had transferred to another high school. I wouldnt advise anyone to send their child to CHHS Read less

I recently graduated City Honors High school and am getting ready to go to college. I hate to admit it but I do not feel the school prepared me and other of my classmates as well as it should have.

Also, during my senior year there was nobody to really help us and guide us through the whole college 'things'. I felt if us students had received the education we really needed n the help from the teachers that we really needed, not many of us would be attending community colleges like we are. Anybody reading this, go somewhere else before you regret it like I did. Read less

City Honors High School began with intentions on being one that 'stood out from the rest'. It began with students who carried above-average GPA's. Today, all students still attend a university (with few numbers attending community college) but the facade of 'standing out' has been reduced. Although,

It seems as if the teachers that are doing their jobs are not in the 'in circle' amongst the principal and her staff. My child has made several comments about the 'favorite' teachers and how they are allowed to do several things that may impede a student's ability to concentrate in the classroom! We need better administration in place so that our children can have the best possible education! Read less

CHHS isn't want its made to be. This school is full of teachers, staff and students that don't care. I honestly feel that IUSD needs to know how the school really carries themselves.

How can a principal be a leader but she's never there? Teachers, Staff and Students come and go as they please. Honestly, no staff member, to my knowledge has been there for a long length of time. I wouldn't advise anyone to send their child to this school because this place isn't taken seriously, everyone has too much freedom. Read less

It's sad to know that my parents think some teachers and administrators are serving us, but the truth of the matter is, some of them are not even in class half the time. Others rant and rave as if 'shows' are the best thing going, not academics. Parents should really invest more time into knowing what is really going on. I want to leave.

CHHS is a really small, underfunded school. I can't see whats so great about it besides the test scores. They claim to uphold a zero tolerance policy although there have been fights on many occasions, although the administration will tell you otherwise. It's definely not all its cracked up to be.
