I love attending Cape Henry because everyone is so nice and welcoming. The facilities are great and safe. I think the academics are good and can challenge students.

There are 3 things that are important to my husband and I when it comes to choosing a school for our son: safety measures, academics, and student/teacher ratio; Cape Henry exceeds all of those. I highly encourage all my friends and anyone I encounter to tour the school and talk to Ms. Hummel.

I go to Cape and I am a rising senior. It is an amazing school and it provides the students with so many opportunities. The class sizes are small so the teachers pay attention to the very student individually. One thing to consider though is that there really is not a lot of diversity here. All though the community is very inclusive there are around 7 African-Americans in my class of 88 which is a very small percent of the class.

CHC is a beautiful school. The administration really cares for the students individually and will take any feedback to heart. We have had an incredibly positive experience at this school and we recommend it highly.

Great school! We have had wonderful experiences for the last 5 years for multiple kids. Great teachers and many opportunities for trying out new things. I'm so happy that we made this choice. We have friends who have moved to CHC after other local schools and are always very happy with CHC.

It's awful and most teachers are fake, its pretty much based off if your family works there. I have dredged my experience here and I'm leaving this comment so no one has to suffer any longer.

Very nice teachers. Cape Henry has a really strong support system for our growing LGBTQ+ community. My daughter feels very comfortable expressing her true identity and has been on same great trips with caring people.
