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.

At my time at Chippewa Valley High School, life had been...normal. Nothing too exciting happens nor anything too disappointing. As a student who wanted to participate in activities more, it was hard to do when none of the school clubs were what I wanted. I hope they expand their options for students in the near future.

There is a lack of diversity when it comes to the school it slef
