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.

Overall, I enjoyed my time at CHS, but I also know that with in this school your name matters. I was apart of "the most politically inclined" class mean that people had money and power within the town and used it to their benefit. For me I was an outsider and was put at a disadvantage because I couldn't pull string and convince teachers to boast my grade because of my last name. Also as an alum I am ashamed of how the school system has proceeded since my graduation. Removing coach Hollars was a horrible mistake and the way they have went out of their way to make him and his wife miserable is shameful. I don't even know how they could sleep with themselves at night. When I went there people care about the community and how as a whole we could provide and support one another and those values have seemed to now be lost.

I really enjoyed attending school here, and there is definitely a lot of opportunity that can come from this school. They try to make it feel family like, and I feel like that helps a lot of people feel like they are involved.

Small classes and great teachers , teachers can take more time with students in a small class. Wish we had more CTAE classes to help us to choose a field of study for life.

Typical backwoods school. Parents and coaches are really bad to be around at football and wrestling matches. They tell their kids to fight and try to injure students. Zero character and zero morals. The education is really poor and the kids worry more about bullying and sports. The moms actually wea...

Having attended this school for almost 4 years now, this school is quite amazing. Sure, there have been teachers that I couldn't stand, but this is expected in a public school. The experience I had attending CHS was better than expected. Thus, without hesitation, a 5 star rating seems only appropria...

I wouldn't allow my children to go to this school. There are a lot of lessons young people learn through sports, and what this school has to teach is that when the going gets tough, just quit and go home. As evidenced in their latest match up against Athens Academy. Losing in the 3rd quarter, the od...

I was very dismayed last night to see the coach of this football program throw in the towel in the third quarter. I understand that loosing a game can be hard. However, what is that coach teaching the kids? Is it ok to quit a game because you are loosing? Is it ok to quit school because your grades...
