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.

Cave Spring is one of the best schools in the area. It's in a great neighborhood and is pretty safe. Great teachers for the most part and even if you get a not-so-great teacher there will be someone there to help you out. Cave has good AP and Dual options that really help get you ready for college.

I love my school. I do think they can be better in support for the clubs and fine arts because they are big on sports and that's about it. They barely give the fine arts and clubs anything

Cave Spring has a very nice building as it was recently renovated. The parking and traffic pattern could have been improved more with the renovation. The teachers care very much about their students and for the most part, the student body has less fights or bullying than other schools in the area.

Wouldn’t recommend anyone to enroll their child in the school. I went to the school as a student and raised a child in the school and if you’re not in the right click, wear the right clothes, drive the right car. You are looked down on.

this school sucks don't go here. most of the teachers refuse to help you. they don't care for the disabled or neurodivergent. they hate gay and trans students. the number of kids that do drugs and vape at this school is honestly impressive. if the school closed down the world would be way better

CSHS is a terrible school. The schools that flow into CSHS are great schools, but I highly advise parents to send their children elsewhere for high school. Some of the teachers are fabulous, but many do not teach. They play videos. They unfairly grade, and the school and school system do not care. T...

Top notch. The children are well prepared for college if that is the path they wish to take.
