I really enjoyed the academic program this school follows. After leaving my last school I found I excelled greatly in subjects I had previously struggled with. The teachers are very thorough and provide many outlets for help. Something I don't like though is our schools protection for targeted students. I see bullying occur almost everyday. Some people think bullying is just saying mean thing or hurting kids but sometimes it less obvious. Micro aggression's directed towards students who are POC happen regularly that are passed off or unnoticed.

As a current student at this school, I can say with confidence that Cheshire High School is a great place to be. I am finishing my sophomore year, and I have nothing but good things to say about the school community. The climate is very warm and welcoming. There is absolutely no racism or homophobia...
