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 high school experience at Chester was overall great, I just had to take a lot of online classes to get the education that I want. Class selection was rather limited.

The administration was new last year and is extremely strict which is what we have always needed.

Great fans and many involved in multiple sports. It is a smaller school so the sports teams are less intimidating and allow for less experienced people to join in and give it a try. They seem to do well at meets and games though.
