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.

Went there my whole high school career and im glad i did. I heard that other schools would struggle with air conditioning and and my school i would struggle to stay warm in our a/c. The teachers and staff were amazing and supportive.

I have been attending Cesar Chavez since I was around the age of 9. This school has been very good to me and my family and understanding. Understanding because it is a billiangual school and my mother only speaks Spanish so it is hard for her to communicate in English. I am always there to help her but when she goes to my school to ask for information about anything, they are always there to attend her. Another thing I like is not having to be that cautious of any dangers since our security consists of a metal detector and them requiring ID'S. The staff there are very helpful as well and the councilor is always ready to help us which makes me happy.

As a student at Cesar Chavez Academy High School, a main priority for students and staff is to make sure everyone feels included and welcomed. The atmosphere itself has always felt very inclusive. Personally just because of the environment I have always found it easy to join in clubs or athletics.

There's a few point i'd like to make. School isn't a daycare center. If girls are getting pregnant young it isn't because their school sucks, therefore the school shouldn't get the blame for it. Teachers are there for support, but they aren't the parents, the first teachers in a kids life. This does...

CCAHS has systemic problems that make it a failing school! The profit minded corporate management and administration created a school more concerned with profits than education. Overcrowded classrooms with inadequate resources puts profits over students. The lack of qualified educational leadership...
