I've noticed that post shown are from previous years. I wanted to offer my opinion of Chestnut Log in a more recent voice. I've had several problems with Chestnut Log. We are new to the area and my son completed the 8th grade last year and I now have a 7th grader attending. I've had to make several calls
... Read more concerning grades to inappropriate teacher behavior. I just feel stressed. The school year has only just began and I'm already had it with this school. I was embarassed when told by a friend that parents usually enter their kids into 'private' school if zoned for Chestnut Log. For us, that is not an option. In my opinion this is in direct protryal of the leadership of Chestnut Log by Dr. Kieth who is more concerned with her current hairstyle than the activities at her school. Read less

This school is #1. I wouldn't want my child @ any other school. We are criticized about education but win 1st place academic competitions against other schools. The Principal & staff are amazing & go the extra mile as if my child were their own. Stay after school & spend their weekends supporting our
... Read more children w/o pay because they care. They spend the budget on our kids not chairs, new breakrooms & sound systems. They have so many clubs & support teams. If your child cannot succeed here then you need to look at other issues because they work hard for every child. Parents need to take more responsibility in their children's education. The school can provide all the resources & support in the world but cannot force our children to use them. It takes a village to raise a child & I'm honored Chestnut Log is part of mine. Read less

Let's look at the glass half full instead of half empty. My son has been in this school for one year, and I have not had any complaints about unruly students' behavior that might affect his learning. Kids will be kids, and this is the world we live in, but this school is alot better off than most.

My daughter went to this school in the 6th grade then we pulled her out. This school does not have enough control over the students. If ur student is in PC it is a little bit better because they are around other advanced students. Just think twice about putting your child in this failing school.
