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 think Chicopee Comp is a great school. I think the staff care about us and making everyone feel included and safe. I wouldn't change my experience for anything.

Chicopee Comp hired an English teacher this school year who is functionally illiterate. This should scare everyone. My stepson came home with an essay he had written with numerous grammatical issues and was given a grade of an A. I am now working overtime to subsidize this school's careless lack of oversight in hiring. This generation will have no career prospects if public schools do not raise their standards off the floor. Thank you Mr. Rooney

As a parent, I appreciate the school's effort to inform students not only about college readiness but they offer assistance with the entire process from completing financial aid to applying to schools.

The students graduating from...

Used to be good. now there is yondr pouches and metal detectors just like chicopee high. When entering it now feels like a prison with an immense amount of pressure. no freedom at all now. Choose private/charter schools for high school in Chicopee not this penitentiary.
