The teachers there make it very welcoming and opening to all kids. Lots of clubs and sports are offered creating lots of diversity within the school. I wish some of the kids were nicer, but high school tends to be rough during those ages.

I have had an unusual high school experience. My freshman year was spent online, and my junior and now senior years have been mostly spent taking classes from Eastern Washington University. As a result, I cannot speak on many aspects of the school. What I have experienced in Running Start and help from staff has been helpful.

Teachers take forever to grade and there is violence and drug use in the bathrooms. The same group of ppl have been doing drugs the whole year and it hasn’t been stopped. Most of the students are rude and disrespectful to everyone and there is low school spirit.

The learning and classes are good. But the over all “high school experience” honestly kind of sucks. We have no school spirit and our themes or dances are lame and it makes you not want to come to games or activities. I wish our administration and teachers would put more effort into our experience O...

Overall, positive. They provide the tools for children to learn. Three kids through CHS, two college grads and one (senior at Cheney) on the way!

Teachers don't teach with excitement, which make student bored and not wanting to learn anything. That's why so many fail. Look into other schools there's a higher chance of graduation that CHS.
