I attended Chaparral High School my junior and senior year. It served me well; though the teachers were a 50/50 most of the time. It was a fun time. Made a bunch of friends. Lost a couple friends. Overall would recommend attending Chaparral High School.

I enjoyed my time at Chaparral. I feel that my teachers did a good job of preparing me for college. I enjoyed the culture and the activities. I would highly recommend this school. I achieved success while at this school. I like the duel enrollment options available as well. My only negative was the response to Covid. Not being able to attend school in person was very challenging. It was difficult to get caught up after that loss of in person school.

This school's administration is under qualified, overwhelmed, unable to adequatly deal with day to day management of student issues and incredibly punitive to make up for lack of leadership.
