Overall this is a good school. I have been able to participate in many clubs and organizations, including being dual enrolled in the Career & Technical Center as well as the regular High School classes. Most teachers are nice but the administration is focused on all of the wrong things. I'd like to see more diversity but the demographics of the school match the area.

Chariho is a pretty good school but there are many things that administration will not address or simply ignores. They are more worried about student's wearing facepaint during spirit week than the students smoking in the bathroom. Instead of buying smoke detectors for the bathrooms, administration has closed all but one or two bathrooms.

The teachers look for the best in the students, and overall they prepare you not just for college but for life. Don't listen to these bias "oh they don't care about you" reviews because they are false.

My oldest son had a terrible experience and my youngest son felt like a robot in middle school. They don't do anything for special needs and mental health issues. They just pass the kids along until they push them out
