I've been in this school district all my life and this was a great way to end off my childhood education. I've had great experiences with teachers and enjoyed the education I received.

My experience with Charlestown High school has been good ever since I was in freshman year. The students and teachers are nice and the teachers make learning fun. The only thing I would change would be the food because it isn't that good sometimes but other than that Charlestown High School is fantastic.

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.

Most of the students vape nicotine and thc in the school. Students sneak into bathrooms and some even do it in class. The school can’t get it under control and it seems like they are just turning a blind eye. Bullying is common.

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!!!
