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.

I love all of the teachers and the classes that I can take. I do very well and hold leadership positions in almost every club I am part of. Ultimately, I enjoy going to school at Cumberland High School. I would, however, like to see the school lunch food changed and the cell phone policy to be relaxed.

Cumberland High School helped me gain friends and long lasting relationships with overwhelmingly accepting communities. There is so many class choices to choose from with some wonderful teachers and staff. I learned how to be perseverant and i always achieved my goals due to the adamant teachers who push their students to succeed. I would like to see an improvement of handling bigger situations such as racism and transphobia that can occur within the school by students. There is majority control of these issues but sometimes they went ignored or not properly handled.

My experience at Cumberland High school was very different than I thought it would be. About half way through my freshman year we were impacted with COVID which created a very different high school experience for me. My school created a very good virtual learning experience and has made it the learning environment we all needed.

I'm a freshman and I am pretty content with this school. Of course, as a kid, it's my duty to dislike school, but this one is better than the one I'm coming up from by a long shot (a Cumberland middle school, I hated it there and will leave a review there as well). The freedom here is astounding. I...

Im a freshman at Cumberland High school and I was hoping to have a good experience this year. I have a different style from other students at the school and that lead to me experiencing bullying from students in class and in the hallways. I have been tortured since my first day of school there. I to...

CHS deserves an "unsung hero" award.It contributes so much to the families in this town, yet for some reason is still widely undervalued.The teachers are dedicated to the students in and out of the classrooms.They coach teams, organize and chaperone international field trips and other events in and...
