Some teachers are great, but others are not very helpful or enthsiastic about teaching. The performing arts groups are great, such as drama and Platinum FX. I want to see a generally more positive and considerate environment where people care about more than just themselves.

Overall, Chaparral High School is a pretty good school. The facilities are modern, but not particularly hi-tech or anything like that. They did recently just build a multi-million dollar sports facility though, which is definitely in line with the more sports focused culture of the school.

There’s no safety in this school for your kids . DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE . This school does not care about kids safety at all!! We had to pull my nephew out due to bullying . The staff and principle are not helpful at all.

This is the worst school in the district. Mainly because the admin has no clue what they are doing. I have emailed the AD several times and have never received a call back. The school does not care about the students. The principal is so far removed from everything she has no idea what is going on....

My daughter is about to finish her senior year, so I have know the school for a while. She had many AMAZING teachers, others just ok. But never bad teachers.Thi...
