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.

My best experience at Chapin High school is the community. We have such a strong community and support for our sports. We have "one heartbeat" as our principal says. I would like to change some of the teachers in the school as they do not seem to know what their job is.

Some hillbilly kids tattled because they were slightly uncomfortable and inconvenienced learning about racism. Not only are the cowards, their parents are also spineless.

As a caucasian parent, I support Mary Wood and her teachings. Students absolutely should be reading material such as Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “Between the World and Me".
