GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
I didn't know it was possible for a school to have such low standards for education. We lived in this backwards town for a year and when we moved my son was very behind where he should have been grade level wise. The school is very large with grades k-8 attending in one building. There is a HORRIBLE lice problem that the principal thinks is normal for a school to have. The only positive aspect was the amazing art teacher, but I'm pretty sure she moved out of this town. I looked into attending one of the private religious schools but their curriculum was just as behind. If you have any choice, don't live in chester and of you do homeschool!

"Roads are horrible. Very rough and full of holes. Ruined by overwhelming semi truck traffic. No traffic lights to create positive traffic flow. "
