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 experience at Chico High was amazing because I was very involved, on the other hand though I know many students did not get the opportunities I had. There is a large difference in the way students are given resources based on their engagement. The administration is more involved in keeping them out of trouble but isn't investing tangible resources.

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.
