The best part of Chesapeake high school are the counselors and the teachers, most are chill and willingly to help their students. The worst part is the racism and hate that circles around the school it's been happening for years.

My time in Chesapeake High School was a good experience. I met some of my best friends there, who i now attend college with, as well as some of the best teachers that provided an excellent role model for me and my future. They were always encouraging and supportive, and ensured that i was ready when it came time for me to leave for college. Our focus was equally divided between sports and the arts, and there was never an imbalance.

It's good except for all the resources you aren't really told about any of it, it's something you need to really seek out or hear about by word of mouth but once you do there's some cool scholarships clubs and internships you can get.

This school sucks. There’s only 1 way in and one way out. They let the teachers out before the students. Even if you’re there first. Mind you students have work at 4Pm. This is unfair and needs to be dealt with. Teachers stand and hold the students from going so the teachers can go.

CHS exceeded our expectations - both children were involved in CHS athletics, both took AP classes along with dual enrollment at AACC, and both were well prepared for 4-year university. First is now an engineer (graduated from University of Maryland) and second is a data analyst (graduated from Ohio...
