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.

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.

Being associated with Cumberland High School for 4 years now, I have seen the good and the bad. When I first joined, the administration was definitely a struggle, but now with the new admin it is a whole lot better. They include so much resources to help their students.

Cumberland is a good school altogether. It offers honors classes, but no AP which is a shame. There is a Governors School program that preparess you for college.

Cumberland County High School is a really well built and put together of a school. I really love that Freshman's, Sophomore's, Juniors, and Seniors have their own halls. The gym is really easy to find and it is a well kept cleaned and neat gym. The cafeteria is a really good size for each class to have lunch. I would love for CHS to sweep the floors daily. Overall CHS is a really nice school!!
