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.

What I liked about Chartertech High School for The Performing Arts was that it puts their arts first and it is a big part and being in musical theatre has really made me a better actor and being in that school in general has made me a better person and makes me feel validated.

Charter was a nice school for those interested in the performing arts. However, while it's nice they're accepting, many kids who get accepted to the school do not take it seriously and are very immature, hurting the representation of the school.

The fact that CharterTech was a Performing Arts school really did a lot for me. I got to experience new things and see new talents. There were multiple majors such as Animation, Dance, Instrumental and many more. The teachers there were very nice and respectful, the only downside would be the size of the school. There is a max of 400 students in the school

I am going into sophmore year at this school and for the most part I love it. The teachers are so nice and if you you don’t go into to drama you mostly stay out of it. The fights aren’t handled the best but idk lol. I overall really like this school and as a film major loooove the film programs.

Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT send your child to this school. They do not handle harassment and bullying in a proper way and will blame the victim.

Five stars - My daughter loves this school. This year she was in all regular courses because of the transition to public school from homeschooling and I wish I had enrolled her in honors courses because of how well she has done, even with a considerable amount of home life stressors this year.
