I loved CHS! The Engineering and science labs were amazing. Sports are lacking. Fine arts is incredible!! Some teachers could be nicer.

Charlottesville high school struggles with diversity. It boasts that there are dozens of languages spoken, but classes are full of students who look just like each other.
