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.

The school is not the best, but there are hidden gems that help you make the most of each day. I wish fights were not as common in the building, and I wish more of the teachers being hired would be more helpful. Some actually want to further the students education while others would rather giggle and be a student.

I came her my Junior year and it was very welcoming , I became a student manager for varsity boys football and basketball and it overall was the best experience. I enjoy being apart of the team and the boys were always so nice as so the coaches.

My school creates a very college readiness environment for me and my fellow classmates. I've been attending St. Charles High School since 2022 and it has been the best change in my life. One change I would like to see is more clubs, my school doesn't have a lot of clubs to join which was the only down side to my college experience.
