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.

Diverse and lots to offer. The best is the families that have stayed in the district that we've been connected to since the beginning. It fell short when trying to retain students, staff & teachers during the pandemic but quickly did pivot to on-line learning and did the best they could. The athletic department could use better accountability and training - and holding coaches to a higher standard.

I appreciated almost everything cheltenham high school did for me. The teachers wanted to see me succeed and the principal made an effort to get to know every student. The people were nice and I never felt left out or shunned. The Parts I didn't like were how bad the food was. Some days I would go without eating anything. That is my only complaint.

I was ready for college in some aspects, but not all. I still have a close connection with many teachers there and overall, I enjoyed my time there. I was able to interact with STEM resources and clubs there and pursued those interests in college because of that.

Cheltenham School District is NOT safe for students let alone teachers … they are slow to respond to students safety where there are violent fights going on between students practically every day … student disrespect teachers and each other … there is NO order or direction for anyone.

Phenomenal school. Majority of negative reviews are from individuals with implicit bias, and who are uncomfortable with diversity.
