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 daughter is a Freshman at this school, and everyone from day one has been welcoming to her, teachers and students alike. The school is excellent academically, and the teachers encourage the students to come to them for help when needed. I met many of her teachers on Back to School night and was impressed with the school and facilities. There are many clubs and activities for students to join too.

Constantly feel like the administration is AGAINST the kids instead of for them. Unfair new rules. Lots of bad and uncaring teachers, but lots of amazing ones too.

I do like CNHS, but I think there needs to be more teacher training and finding teachers who are truly passionate. I find that majority of my teachers are unfortunately not very helpful in preparing us for college. The school spirit is not great, and our sports advisors do not do a great job of getting more kids involved. Overall, I would like to see a change in academics and sports, for we all go to school to learn and I do not think we are making the most of the time we spend there.
