As the only high school in the Coronado Unified School District, Coronado High School (CHS) plays a pivotal role in educating local students.
CHS sits in the center of Coronado Island in close proximity to the local elementary and middle school. With just over 1,200 students across three grades, the school is decidedly mid-size but still feels intimate thanks to a tight-knight and generous community. In addition to state-of-the-art classrooms, the school offers a football field and aquatics complex and is positioned next to the Coronado Public Library, tennis courts and Spreckels Park.
With over 20 AP and 5 Honors courses offered, there’s no shortage of challenging coursework for students. For those more arts-minded, Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) is a school-within-a-school on the campus of CHS. Students who choose to enroll can choose to major in disciplines ranging from instrumental music to visual arts or digital media.
With rich offerings and an involved local community, CHS is a truly attractive pick for Coronado’s young learners.

The teacher are great and the community surrounding the school is amazing as everything is only a bike ride away.

CHS was a wonderful place to go to high school. Safe island, a beautiful campus, and fantastic academic opportunities as well as sports. I loved (almost) all of my teachers. Diversity and culture is something to be improved. They're getting there slowly but surely but it definitely needs attention. The 4x4 class schedule is also only beneficial to a certain selection of students and without proper resources for those it throws under the bus.

There is a win range of competent teachers, particularly in the sciences and English departments. This school does well at catering to its students needs.
