GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Bethesda Chevy Chase High School is a good high school. They have so many clubs and resources they don't provide it openly so unless you know they have those resources you'll never know that you could use those resources. The administration and the security are nice. I have felt safe in the school and had amazing teachers who supported me. I wish I could change teachers if there's space in their class because sometimes I have a terrible teacher and I just have to cope with it for a whole year and the only choice I have is to take a higher-level class. I had a counselor and the counselor always tried to get me out of her office without asking if something was wrong. I had a terrible experience with my counselor she didn't provide any resources academically or emotionally. She wouldn't let me change and for anything I asked her answer was always no. She was the worst counselor I had and I know from experience because she was also my brother's experience and he had a hard time with her.

The school is great academically, with many kids who push themselves very hard. However there is somewhat of a stressful culture at school. In recent years many of the traditions the school has had have been stripped. Despite this, it's overall a pretty good school.

All of you guys saying that this school isn't good because you have been bullied is just a sob story, get over it. Still being stuck on the same topic because there is nothing else interesting going on with your lives isn't a reason to diminish a relatively okay school.

I am currently entering 10th grade this upcoming year, and this school isn't your average high school. There are so many clubs and activities here, the teachers are amazing, and the safety is well-maintained here. During lunch, you are able to do anything you want, like have lunch inside a classroom...

My three kids have attended this school. There are many clubs, sports and activities. BCC is a place where every kid can find their place and their people. The academics are challenging, most students and families care a lot about the school and the school community. The school prepares students ver...

Excellent school and administrators. They take discriminatory behavior very seriously and act upon it despite what one review stated. In fact, they take action on all reported misconduct. Unfortunately, if your child is accused of wrongdoing, they will look into it but that’s not such a bad thing.
