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 was really great. All of my teachers were great and loved what they were doing. The small community was great and but the biggest issue I had with the school was how the elevators wouldn't be accessible all the time.

What I like about CHAMPS Charter High School is how there is a community of the arts and how diverse it is. Also, some academies will relate to multiple types of arts that help you improve and have great people to be around. But, one thing that CHAMPS does have a problem with is coming up with activities for the seniors in a short amount of time instead of planning them out. Other than that it's a great school to go to.

Champs has been a great school for my son and his development- academically and personally. It may not be the most conventional looking school but it has worked for him.
