In my opinion the education is good but the environment of the school isn't the best. Also the school isn't in the best condition so take that into thought. A change I wish I could see are the way teachers acted it is all over the place, some teacher don't even follow the school rules as they are supposed to.

The best part of cheltenham is definitely the teachers and them wanting u to succeed in whatever you dream of doing. The worst part is the climate and club scene. I would like to see administration helping those who want to start or run clubs better.

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.
