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 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.

Cherryville High School is a very safe campus and I feel safe going to school there every day. The school is in desperate need of some updates. I am already sick after a few days of school because of mold growing in all the classrooms. Tests have been done that prove there is mold in the building but nothing is being done about it. Everything else is pretty average about this school. Nothing really good or bad sticks out to me.

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...
