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 had a decent experience at chapel hill high school. I thought the facilities and certain resource-related things could definitely have been improved, but overall my experience was pretty good. Most of my teachers were well-trained for what they were teaching, but some were not in my opinion.

The principal runs the school as though it were a prison. Her response to my complaint about the mishandling of an issue was to have an assistant principal follow my son from class to class and sit in on the classes in an effort to intimidate him.
