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.

Cherokee was a great school, with teachers that cared about the students. They made you feel like a family from day 1.

It hasn't been a terrible experience here at school, and I feel it has done a good enough job in prepping me for college. A decent school overall.

Cherokee has been a not bad school, but more of an average school than anything. I have enjoyed my time here, it is not a bad school but it has had some shortcomings. The biggest of this is the removal of the JROTC program within the school, and the removal of multiple language programs within the school, including the German language program.

Hi, I'm a junior about to finish this year. Cherokee is a truly awful environment for kids of all types. Bullying is not treated how it should be at all in this district, from the elementary schools and into the high schools. Most teachers will either ignore, or try to support students of diversity...

Administrators love to power-trip only when they want to, not when anything bad actually happens to a student.

Prom ticket is $110, food is barley edible, only decent at sports, no school field trips, bad administration, club fee is $200, penny pinching everywhere.
