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.

Chambers is a school that has endured transition over the years. It is up and coming with academics and sports. It will grow in time.

At Chambers it's a love hate relationship. I love the teachers but the atmosphere is very depressing. The school has cliques and not a lot of activities.The cleanliness is so bad and some of the classrooms are freezing or burning up

My school has a lot of budget issues, which makes the experience not as great as it could be. We don't get many fun events or activities like other schools, and it feels like there's nothing to look forward to. Fights happen pretty often, which makes the environment feel unsafe at times. I wish the school had more funding for better resources, events, and security to make it a better place for students.

Then, 2 hours later I received a recorded message from the principal that a student came to school with a loaded handgun and drugs. I’m g...
