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.

The best part of Charlestown for me has been the teachers. I have a lot of teachers who have taught me things that I will remember forever, some school-related and some not. The worst part for me has been social. I have a lot of friends but have also had many experiences with people because of the size of our school. Since it's so small, rumors get around easily which sucks especially when they aren't true. Overall, I would say my experience has been pretty good and if I could go back and change schools I don't think I would.

The best parts of my experience at Charlestown Senior High School were in the engineering academy classes. I learned how to use AutoCAD software, about different engineering fields, and about architecture. I also like the robotics club here. The robots I helped build with my group did not look pretty, but they were really good at what they did.

The worst part about my school is the food. People tell me the school food has gotten better but I don't know if I believe them. Our facilities are amazing, especially our gym and football field. I also feel safe at this school. There is also an officer in the school at all times.

i'm in the 10th grade right now at CHS, and I love it. They deal with kids being bullied really well. My math teacher is the best and I feel like I'm actually learning!!!
