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 CMIT SOUTH is pretty good. The best parts about CMIT is of course the basketball games and lunch when we all get to be on our phones freely. Speaking of phones... There is a really strict rule about cellphones. They have to be in your locker and if you get caught with your phones the administrators will take it. You won't get your phone back till your parent or guardian come get it. Things I would like to see change is teachers not being understanding. My reasoning is because some teachers don't be lenient about work. Some people have afternoon activities to do and teachers just don't care. Another thing I would like to see change is how we dress. Our uniform policy is really strict and some people like to express themselves through clothing and it's taken away from us. We can't even wear Crocs to school.

Chesapeake Math & IT South Public Charter School is wonderful school that focuses on STEM learning throughout middle and high school. As a person who went there since 6th grade and will be graduating as the class of 2025, I love the amazing opportunities I have had along with the memories I have made. If I had the chance to do it all over again I would do it a thousand times.

I've been at CMIT South since 8th grade, and over the years much has changed. Teachers have come and gone and their arrival as well as departures have heavily influenced my experience as a student. Some for better, and some for worse.

The leadership at this school takes zero accountability for anything that goes wrong. They won’t even hold their teachers accountable for gross misconduct. Most of the good teachers have left, however, they still have a handful remaining that actually care and teach the children. They have the kids...

This school teachers don't really want to help the students they just like yelling at them and the teachers mainly like the girls, not the boys. Also if you do something really bad you don't even get suspended I would not recommend this school for those who want a good life and a good education I wo...
