It is a great school with many opportunities for the students. Everybody is well connected. So, it makes it easier to make friends. The only thing I would change is making more restroom for the students because they get too full during the school hours.

My overall experience at Cesar Chavez High School has been really good. The teachers are helpful and always try to make learning fun and interesting. They explain things well and help students when they're confused. The school is also safer than other places. There are security officers walking around campus to make sure everyone is okay and that no one is doing anything there no supposed to be doing. We also have metal detectors and other safety rules to help protect students and staff. One thing I would like to see changed is how the school shares information about events and upcoming activities. I think they could put up more flyers or posters around the school and do a better job of spreading the word so more students know what's happening and can join in.

There is a lot of diversity in interests and people at Chavez. Everyone has a place here. There is a lot of school spirit and focus on academics. The best part of Chavez is the teachers, they really make the community.

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.

The ARCH program helps students prepare for college and offer Advanced Placement programs to offer the students to earn college credit in certain areas. There are tons of clubs & groups for the students to join from JROTC, Software & App Design to Culinary. The teachers are amazing and the community...

This school has unfortunately gone down hill. The education here is far below any other district in our state. The principal looks more like biker with all his tattoos and long beard( really professional). Keep your children away from not only this school but the entire Phx union district.
