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.

My experience at Chartertech was a complex one. I did not realize at the time how the four years in my major really did prepare me for college. I find myself already knowing a lot of what is said in my film classes. Another thing worth noting is that a lot of the teachers here really do care. They will take the time and effort to help you in tons of ways.

What I liked about Chartertech High School for The Performing Arts was that it puts their arts first and it is a big part and being in musical theatre has really made me a better actor and being in that school in general has made me a better person and makes me feel validated.

Charter Tech could be a great school but it has a long way to go. Certain majors are favored while the rest are ignored. Students run many of the teachers. However, there are a handful of teachers that are excellent. Discipline is almost nonexistent, unless you get in a fight. I think the school should require tryouts. This would pull in a more serious group of students who really want to continue their educations in the arts.

I am going into sophmore year at this school and for the most part I love it. The teachers are so nice and if you you don’t go into to drama you mostly stay out of it. The fights aren’t handled the best but idk lol. I overall really like this school and as a film major loooove the film programs.

Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT send your child to this school. They do not handle harassment and bullying in a proper way and will blame the victim.

Five stars - My daughter loves this school. This year she was in all regular courses because of the transition to public school from homeschooling and I wish I had enrolled her in honors courses because of how well she has done, even with a considerable amount of home life stressors this year.
