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.

Throughout my 4 years of high school at Cesar Chavez there where many ups and downs. my freshmen year there were fights almost everyday and they were funny to watch because barley anyone could fight, i was always with the football team and we would just sit back and enjoy the show. and it continued to my sophomore year as well. but junior year we have a great new principle come through and he changed the program itself. he made the school more discipline and organized, the fights stopped and rarely happened. Although many students attitudes didnt change the school turned out to be a calm and great place

My experience has been good so far throughout my 4 years here, some ups, some downs, but in the end not the worst and also nothing is perfect.

The relationships I've built will surely last me a lifetime, and the AP teachers are some of the most insightful and helpful people. Whenever trouble seems to arise, security and administration are always on top of it to ensure our safety 100%. I feel as though the AP courses will have me prepared for whatever challenges I may encounter in college.

My daughter goes to CCHS and loves it. The teachers are communicative on expectations and have a thoughtful hands on curriculum. There are a lot of groups kids can join during and afterschool. They also have a college prep course which was really helpful.
