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 would like to see bathrooms that don't look like they are from prison and a math curriculum that doesn't rely solely on test scores. I think the food could stay even though it's not great and all of the students have learned to deal with their own problems because the staff don't care enough.

The best part of this school was the staff. Everyone who worked there was so inclusive and really cared about your wellbeing.

Chico High has been a place for me to mature alongside my peers and to make lifelong friends. I have had the opportunity to play competitive volleyball and was recruited to play NJCAA Division I in college. Teachers truly care about the well being of their students and encourage them to be involved in the school culture. Everyone is incorporated in some way whether it is a club, elective, spirit day, sport, or art.

I am a local business owner and have hired many students from Chico High over the summer. They have all been exemplary employees, polite, responsible, and trustworthy. Good job teachers, parents, and students.
