I transferred in during the middle of my sophomore year of high school, kind of as a last resort due to other schools not being good options for me personally. It ended up being better than both schools I attended previously. The best part of my experience is definitely the music program, it is a fun and personal experience, and we are an award winning band. I would like the campus to be redone sometime soon, not for me because I am graduating, but to make it a better experience for others in the future.

I personally cannot wait to graduate from this school. I feel like if you aren't in Magnet your not really given as many opportunities as they are. They consider themselves like upper class and everyone else beneath them. I would like for them to allow us to leave if we have finished all our requirements instead of making everyone have six periods.

Throughout my time in Chatsworth Charter High School I would say my best experience is all the friends I made while here. If I had to pick a worst experience while here it would be the long lines for lunch.

Teachers are frequently absent for meetings, conventions, etc. The main thrust of the program seems to be the aggrandizement of the school, not the best education of th...

The schools scores are below the nations average. There is not more you need to see then that. If you want your child to get below average scores then this school is for you. Otherwise find a better school. There are several in the area with better results.

The leadership at the school is lacking. They were unable to adapt like other schools during covid. There are dangerous situations happening just arriving to school. They shift school drop off hours causing problems for parents. When I went to school, I got little education in the classroom, I had t...
