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.

i would have to say my best experience with cchs would have to be my moments in the vocational school in the welding program and passing my certifications and the worst I have experienced is the teachers pick favorite students a lot and the thing I would like to see changed is for them to add more clubs or fun actives.

The small class sizes paired with the extremely involved teachers was definitely a recipe for success.

Food options are usually some type of processed chicken product, and healthy options are extremely limited.
