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 started Carrboro high in 2021. We had a good principal that was participatory and an excellent communicator with teachers, students and parents. In 2023 our principal changed and the school environment and culture plummeted. It's very unfortunate. The PTSA quit, many teachers left. And it doesn't seem that any of the higher administrators in the district care.

This used to be such a good school. But alas... the great teachers have left and the good ones are hanging on by a thread. What's left are those who don't or can't teach. Mediocrity is the best way to describe CHS now. My child is counting the days until graduation. It's been an awful 4 years.

As a parent of a first-year student, senior, and one who has graduated and gone on to a strong university, I can say Carrboro High School is an excellent high school. Students are empowered, teachers are engaged, and communication from school is proactive. There is a good combination of access, diversity, facilities and engagement.

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

Less than optimal. As a transfer student, I was quite disappointed with the student body and and rigor/strength of teaching. There was a significant over-inflation of the egos of both faculty and students alike, in terms of both the academics and athletics of the school. While generous resources wer...

This school is amazing in many ways and fosters an environment of learning and openmindedness unlike I have seen anywhere else in my life. Unlike the other, technically better performing, high schools in the area Carrboro benefits from being significantly newer and having the physical benefits of th...
