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.

Chester high is a school full of potential , it isn't as horrid as the years back. As student ambassador , we are trying to change the culture and perspective of the school. Also increase diversity and making the school a warm , welcoming second home . With the new Principal at Chester high always being involved with students and staff , its granted a change will come .

My school has an amazing faculty, but unwillingly students. It's depressing to teach kids like that. Just very few of us are willingly to take our education to the next level. So because of that, I'm still yet to see teachers put in their all for us. Another major problem is no challenging lessons are given. Other than that, the teachers are knowledgeable in their fields and often available to talk to if needed.
