I have two students at CHS and it’s a great high school with seniors continuing on to an impressive list of colleges. They have a solid AP and honors offering, as well as career training for both college and non-college bound kids. Athletics are robust and the AD is fantastic- very involved and encourages character development as much as performance. Tons of clubs with something for everyone.

I think that this school is pretty good overall if you live in the area. Although classes and teachers can be difficult sometimes, it’s easy if you are ok top of your grades and doing well. PE can be unfair at times to certain students, not giving you a pass if you can’t run or if you don’t have a doctors note. (So if you have a broken leg w/out a doctor’s note, you still gotta run) The people there can be nice if you find ones with similar interests as you. Some of the teachers can be really nice, but also really mean, depending on your personality or attitude in the class. Advanced classes are difficult as well, so make sure to ask for help. The counselors will do anything in their power to help, however, they might not always say or give you the advice you want to hear. In general, no, this isn’t the best middle school out there. But, it’s pretty good, even though it can be unfair sometimes.

I’m not sure why we are still talking about these issues in 2023 but this schools is not only overrated but mistreated my kids were in fact bi racial with Latino and African American but absolutely not ok and wanted everyone to know what really goes on in this school.. first of all my daughter has GI issues with constant to the restroom and nurses office for her stomach issues, but my daughter came home one day, last year and said her teacher would not send my daughter to the nurse anymore because the “nurse was busy with other kids not for her .. no time for her, which tells you something.. I know also in previous years my oldest son was also mis- accused for an expulsion, while another child who was guilty got a slap on the wrist and let go because his dad was a cop… but I am a mother and will not stand or sit in silence especially after my kids are continually mistreated by these schools.. j letting u know..
