2/22/2023
I liked the teacher to student ratio and the bonds the students got to make with teachers. I liked how it was a slower pace and teachers took a lot of time to make sure everyone understood and was learning. I do however wish that the teachers/counselors/administrators were more helpful in assisting students with college.

Small school which affords all students a chance to do multiple sports, as well as excel academically in relatively small class sizes with teachers that care about their students.

I love it! Teachers are great. I am a part of sports as well which are very successful. Classes are hard but provide a good opportunity and help for learning.

Low performing students skate by without receiving the instruction needed to build stamina and interes...

Love the spirit, teachers and overall opportunity provided by CHS. I have had three kids go through this school, 2 continued onto major universities and the third is on their way (currently attends CHS). In addition to getting an IB education, they are able to participate in a variety of sports thro...
