Surrounded by farms. Small county school. Limited parking for students. Seniors and athletes get parking. Over populated for the size of the school. A lot of old teachers that should retire...

Overall, the teachers and academics are very good (for the most part). However, school culture could definitely improve, as there isn't much school pride and students are quick to be judgmental of others.

I have had some great years at Chopticon High School. I recently went out for knee surgery. My teachers were very understanding and helpful during my healing process. The students are okay. The school doesn't have control over the drama that the students get into so it's not their fault (the school) The school is clean. The safety admin are friendly and helpful.
