GreatSchools Rating
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.

Some teachers don't care and others care a lot. The teachers who don't care, don't process your grades and therefore you never know where you are within the class. The teachers who care process your grades quickly.

Overall Chaparral is a great school. The worst part is the girl drama and typical teenage antics. The best part of my experience was Student Government. It kept me involved an busy. The one major thing that I would change is the food options. There's only a couple of options and it is hard to eat the same thing everyday for several years.

The teachers were supportive and really knew what they were doing. The school itself had a great school spirit and I enjoyed my time there. They had a whole array of sports and clubs.

A terrible experience with the AP English Language teacher who does nothing but make excuses for not grading ANY work. Do your job or move aside!! Totally unacceptable to give ZERO feedback on writing and leave kids hanging for months. Like the summer essay hasn't been graded....from three months ag...
