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.

I've attended this school for 4yrs now. My high school experience through this school has been up and down. The teachers are great. The education I'm getting is good. However the food provided is disgusting and overpriced for terrible food.

It was a good school for the range of learning opportunities they provide, but it gets overshadowed by the racism between the students and parents of Carmel High School. There's a lot of ignorance that the school reinforces, but hey, you can take AP classes so your resume looks better for colleges. Just be mindful if your child is a person of color or part of the lgbtq community.

When I came to CHS in my junior year, I knew I was in a special place. The teachers are very supportive and everyone else was welcoming. My experiences were limited since I came during remote learning, but I've heard CHS has a great involvement in clubs and athletics.

Teachers and Staff were my absolute favorite but the kids in the school can be rough at times. It’s important to try to find you’re niche and peop...
