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.

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.

Chantilly is a good school because it has many opportunities for your future career. i got the chance to take and academy class in fairfax which has now started my path towards the future. the fashion careers class I am taking might not be a Chantilly academy class, but that does not mean that the academy classes there aren't as good. I know that there is a firefighter and cosmetology academy class that if you take it for 2-1 year and do enough hours you can immediately start working. (required state exam/quiz)

Chantilly is a great school for students striving for academic excellence. While the social life is not as exciting as other Northern Virginia schools, you can find ways to make your time fun as the people there are great.

I have mainly had a good experience at Chantilly High School. Overall it is a very good learning environment here and most teachers will bend over backwards to help you succeed. I would like to see some of the facilities change tho. Most of the bathrooms are messy, run down, and always have at least one broken toilet or sink.

Very good course offering, a nice diverse mix of races. Many students are very motivated and move onto top colleges in state and out of state. The school has a big population and needs to be expanded.

This school often is a toxic community. Student many times do not get the essential help they need in crisis. Teachers here do the bare minimum and do not put in much effort. The school does have a bullying problem as well. Would not recommend...
