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.

Even though have not been in challenge charter high school for so long because we have student that have spent almost ten years in my school some five years and but i have only spent one and half years in my school. and my experience is so far good i wish i could spend more time in my school but time does not permit me because I am graduating next year in God's grace. my school even though it does not really have much, they make sure we students are not educational starve, they provide us with chrome-book, well ventilated class and also good teachers. our teachers are well trained and skilled, they help us in anything either physical, emotional or spiritual problems they are always there. my set is the first senior in my school and so far so good has been good and fun, we have lots of help from our teachers like wise our guidance counselors they have been helping us in choosing our desired college, help us in looking for different scholarships and all even our principal did not relent.
