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.

Charlottesville High school is a place that makes you feel like you fit in regardless of your ethnicity, background, financial circumstances, etc. There are people there that care about you and your education.

I didn't get to experience all of high school since I was online almost all of my freshman year. Then sophomore year was kind of annoying because of the masks. My junior year went fine and my senior year is going alright. This school definitely isn't the best to attend but it gets the job done.

CHS sends more students to the Ivy Leagues than any school in the area. It is an outstanding school for the highly academic, college-bound and grade-driven student.
