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.

CCHS has a pretty good educational program. The faculty and staff were great. There was open and transparent communication. I wished there were college resources sent home or provided to parents to assist and make college more affordable to our children. We also as parents have to encourage our children with the drive to seek out resources and not be afraid to ask questions.

I finished out my high school career here and I'm so glad I did!! The teachers were amazing and so was the administration! Dustin Shoe was the principal when I attended and he was so kind! All of the administration and teachers were so good about letting me take my medicine on time and making sure I got what I needed on days that I had doctors appointments and stuff. I had Mrs. Harriman for chemistry and I loved her as a teacher! She was so kind and funny! I loved her method of teaching! Overall a great school!

I do like the Stem program in our school, but I think we should have more time and resources on our non stem program too!
