I love my school environment personally but honestly there is a lot of issues like in my sophomore year I was trying to switch teachers because of issues with how I was being treated and I talked to my school counselor and got no help, no explanation as to why switching my teacher wasn't an option or anything and nobody else in any office was willing to help me.

I spent 2 of the 4 years online due to Covid. I was a freshman when we went out and came back to campus as a junior. It was a little strange, but have eventually found my rhythm.
11/13/2022
What I like about Chatsworth Charter High School is the involvement that the students have with their teachers to make sure that are understanding and thriving in their learning environments.

The schools scores are below the nations average. There is not more you need to see then that. If you want your child to get below average scores then this school is for you. Otherwise find a better school. There are several in the area with better results.
3/21/2022
The leadership at the school is lacking. They were unable to adapt like other schools during covid. There are dangerous situations happening just arriving to school. They shift school drop off hours causing problems for parents. When I went to school, I got little education in the classroom, I had t...
