Chelsea high school will always be a place I will never forget. We may not be the richest school in the county but Chelsea is always having a good time and fun opportunities. I love how everyone gets involved and cheers each other on. One thing I might change would be some of the teachers chosen to work there. In previous years I have had some classes where I learned nothing due to the teacher not knowing anything as well.

Chelsea High School facilities are tired and overcrowded. The athletic facilities for non-football sports need to be updated. The advanced and AP teaching staff is good and I feel prepared to enter college. My non-advanced and AP classes were not rigorous enough and the teaching staff seemed to care less about student learning. The administration did not foster an environment for a high degree of school spirit with the students.

it is a very average school for Alabama there are better schools, they are big on their sports even though they are not that go the arts and music program are underfunded but the student is condiment and do their best with what they have. But it is in a really safe aria and has good credentials.

I am a student at Chelsea and I think this school is just average. Out of my 8 teachers I only like 2 of them. I am in mostly honors and ap classes and the teachers don't know how to teach. Whenever someone asks my ap history teacher a question, she doesn't know the answer and has to look it up. One...

Inflated test scores only due to location and sample of the populace, covers up what is really a failing school, at least, one that is failing its students. Alternatively draconian in policy, conservative in allowances, sparse in electives. Does little to prepare students for the rigors of college,...

This is our first year attending Shelby County schools and the experience has been good. The teachers communicate well via edmodo and email. The transition from one school system to Shelby County was a little tough at first but with the help of the Counselors, Teachers and Coaches my child adjusted...
