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.

I love going here. Like all schools there is good and bad things about school. There have been a few teachers I haven' t liked but I have had great relationships with my teachers. One thing I would probably change the amount of electives available.

I matriculated at CHS for 4 yrs and academically, I couldn't have gotten a better education. I was an athlete and played 2 sports and excelled in basketball. Girls basketball is finally getting the recognition it deserves, but the football and baseball teams are top tier. Many pathways are offered to assist students in figuring out where their passion lies. Moat teachers are well respected. The counselors are excellent also.

As a parent of three graduates, this school is an absolute blessing! Teachers are beyond AWESOME and this is an up-to-date school with old-fashioned standards! That's a thing of the past, but not here. We moved here in 1994 and have been so blessed by the City Schools and the people!
