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.

My overall experience hasn't been bad I'd say. The school is decent and the teachers work hard to educate us. I happen to like a good bit of my teachers and the school is genuinely a very chill and relaxed place. I'm in band as well and I enjoy all of our games, pep rally's and other activities as such.

My overall experience was decent. The teachers and staff were friendly and made my years there enjoyable. The principle pays close attention to the needs of the students and has their best interest and care at heart. However, the school, like many others, is in need of more funding to be able to provide the best quality of education to students. Clubs and organizations would be able to do much more for their students if they had the funds.

I absolutely loved Cherryville High School. All of the students and teachers were nice to each other and I never heard a thing about a fight breaking out. The staff truly cared about the success of the students and pushed us to be the best version of ourselves. The counselors helped me with so many college matters as well as personal issues. The principal always made sure to check in with us when it came to grades and there was plenty of one-to-one contact between the students and staff.

May God Bless them. I suggest to whoever comes to this school to get involved, get to know who works in he...

My children and I had just recently moved in from out of state. The school building itself is not quite impressive. Teacher to student ratio varies, depending on the class but mainly it's high student number to only one teacher. Expectations that the school requires of the students are very high. Sp...

We moved from out of state. Our child is now going into high school here. We were given wrong information on the accurate time for freshmen orientation. When we arrived already on his folder was written LATE. Already putting a negative label on a child. And there was NO name tags saying who the teac...
