This school is known for its large Latino population. The school accommodates its programs and teaching styling so that everyone can succeed if they put their mind to it. The one downside is the safety of the school neighborhood.

What I liked about Charlestown High School is the sports in the school, mainly Basketball because basketball is my favorite sport. What I would like to see change in Charlestown High School is the interactions with teachers and students I feel like both teachers and students should have a better relationship in order to develop and grow as a student and to develop as a better teacher.
