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.

Chilton County High School has been my school for majority of my life. I transferred due to parents working for other school systems. The best thing that this school has to offer would be its Extracurricular activities, chances to apply for college with little to no cost out of pocket, and being able to join the army. But I dislike how majority of the information needed to apply for scholarships and even a lot of clubs too require you to be an upper class man. I don't like how they give all these opportunities to mostly seniors and there are juniors, including myself, that want to prepare to go to college with that same opportunity without the wait. Us juniors have to find our own scholarships or score high enough on state or nationwide tests just to be able to have those opportunities. I would like for both juniors and seniors to have the same chances to earn scholarships and not have to wait until we're seniors trying to prepare for college.

I like that Chilton County High School is a smaller school compared to most. Even though it is smaller, we still have lots of diversity and I think that is what makes us who we are as a school.

The staff at Chilton County High School are very caring and do a great job of teaching information. My teachers have passed off an important quality that has lead to my success in high school: responsibility. Being able to be responsible and passionate in everything that I do drives me to be successful.
