The best part of Chesapeake is probably the diversity aspect. People from literally all over the world come there. The downside is in sports and school spirit. Our teams have low budgets and aren't properly trained at practice. This causes team performance to be poor and less people show up for games. This also decreases school spirit.

Very wonderful school. The school is very welcoming and helpful in many ways. The teachers are very supportive and understanding.

IMP is amazing, AP psych is amazing, and most other classes are very good too. Some of the teachers are okay, but some are a little mean and disconnected. The administration isn't very good, and tends to just dismiss you. There isn't any theatre anymore, and most of the clubs were closed a long time back. But overall its a safe choice, though if you can, I would look for a different school.

I've been to over 5 schools throughout my life, and this one was truly the harshest and worst experience I've had. Underqualified teachers. Over authoritative administrators.
