My experience at Cherokee was like none other. I was involved in the various clubs and wanted to do sports, but a knee injury prevented this from happening. The greatest aspect of CHS was the fact that all groups of students were friends. For instance the captains of the Football, Soccer, and Wrestling

A very great mixture of very well rounded kids. Very challenging academically with a large percentage of students going on to college after High School. This school truly is a cut above the rest, and it made my adolescent years. I know someday I will move back to Marlton, so that my children may enjoy these hollowed halls of academia. GO CHIEFS!

Cherokee is an excellent high school. My children have lived in other areas and I myself have attended many school systems throughout the U.S., and I truly appreciate the excellence in this school. I've heard one person say that 'your children are just a number'. I find that to be untrue. If you

My child is in AP and honors classes and has worked for those. The school keeps the children well informed of opportunities throughout the year and really strive to push your child to their limits and abilities.

Cherokee may appear to be larger than it used to be but it is really less than it appears to be. The buildings are divided by grades so a child will only be using one building. If they are a music student in 9th or 10th then they will go to the other building but other than that they stay in their building.
... Read more I went to two High schools my music program in both were pretty strong but my one on long island was stronger. I found the academics at Cherokee to have more clarity and in general NJ standards are more practical for a student than NYs standards. Parents are active in the music program and sports tend to vary on the parent. There are various sports and music activities and courses. There are also other clubs outside of music and sports.

At Cherokee High School, your child is just another number. There is little to no individualized attention, and the teachers couldn't care less about your child as a person, only that they pass the exam at the end.
