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.

One of the worst parts of my experience has been encountering other students that utilize drugs and alcohol. One of the best parts of my experience has been being involved with Sources of Strength. Something that I would change is the intense focus the school has on sports and would increase the focus on academics and student success.

Chestatee High School is part of a great community, students always have some place to belong and have a trusted adult located on the premises. Chestatee challenges students academically but not to the full extent of making them burn out because students are encouraged to take on extracurriculars like sports or clubs.

This particular school has quite a gap between grades given and national test scores- AP exams, ACT, SAT. Two of our children attended this school. One graduated with honors in the top of all classes and could not write to get into Georgia Tech. After much private tutoring in English during his firs...
