I was a student here a couple years ago and it was one of the worst experiences ever. the staff is incredibly messy, the counselors and the ladies at the front would constantly pick on students or even get involved in the “middle school drama” the principal at the time was also incredibly rude and almost ruined my reputation from false allegations. it seriously felt like i was fighting for my life every single day here. i couldn’t even be in the bathroom for a second without a teacher coming in there yelling at me and accusing me of skipping a class that i don’t even have with them? i seriously don’t like this school a lot of the teachers are so messy and weird pls save ur time and send ur kid somewhere else.

Great customer service...your told exactly what you would want to hear while you're in the building, but don't believe everything your told while your there will be what will happen in the classroom moving forward. Teachers have little time to communicate with parents. They have large class sizes and share assistant teachers between rooms, lunch, etc which doesn't make a 15:1 ratio during class room instruction as reported. It's closer to 25:1. There are many different special needs within a classroom of 25:1. English being a child's second language is not uncommon in this school, many different reading levels, math levels, etc., which are a challenge for a teacher and whether they have support to have such a diverse classroom is questionable. The school's PTA struggles to get parents involved. The school has a mix of very strong, experienced teachers vs. new, unexperienced teachers. You can only pray that your child gets one of the better ones, as it is not consistent from year to year.

Fantastic, caring teachers and staff. Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools tend to be extremely competitive, and this high school is no exception.
