This School’s Reviews

2.0 Junior

1/14/2026

SO as a student at this school as of (JAN/14/26) I think its pretty mid some things are great like student diversity but other than that its like in the middle/slightly below on most things... IT could be better

2.0 Senior

9/25/2025

I have had many great faculty members, but an overall lack of support from the administrators has resulted in a less-than-enthusiastic experience.

3.0 Senior

5/14/2025

The teachers were definitely a highlight of my time at Chrisman. If it weren't for the teachers I don't think I would have made it through the year. The worst part was the sports, we lost most of our coaches through the years which didn't allow the athletes to grow proper connections to the coaches which led to friction and ultimately ruined the experience.

The staff is cold towards outsiders. In the 10 or so times I've subbed here, I've never felt at home. In all the hundreds of classrooms I've worked in, I've only encountered two that left me completely without sub plans. Both were at Chrisman.
