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've had a great time at Colonial Heights High School. For me I've had a good experiences at the school and great teachers as well. My teacher were very helpful with all of the parts of their class I struggled with which led me to having amazing grades.

Colonial Heights Public Schools are great overall. The staff is very supportive and ready to help. The administration is always willing to direct you and help as needed. Our arts department is continuously expanding. Our academics are good but could use work; however, our administration is always looking for ways to improve by partnering with other schools and colleges.
