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.

I feel as my school supports their students and their needs here at Cherokee High School they make sure that your mental health and well-being is taken care of with the Atmos discretion and I feel as if every conversation I have a teacher is personal and private and I feel comfortable sharing anything with my peers and adults as my school is a safe environment.

A hard working creative learning environment to be in to advance my education.There is sometimes a lack of communication between the students and the staff at the school about certain things that are important.Made for a great senior year so far.

Cherokee is a small town but it is a tight-knit community! Students at Cherokee High School have an opportunity to get a great education from teachers who care about them and this community.
