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.

Cookeville is best suited for those who are wealthy or involved with sports. The art programs are fairly good, but the bus system is somewhat crazy.

It is a very nice school to go to. I do not feel like it is any different compared to other public high schools. The school is trying its best to serve their students. I think that it is a nice school. It could always be better but it could always be worse aswell.

It's not the best but it's not the worst. I enjoy and appreciate all the opportunities, experiences, and variety of classes my high school has to offer. I as well have met many lovely people there. However, some of my saddest moments came from this school for many reasons, such as the environment and other people there. A lot of the rules and regulations here are very unnecessary as well, and the admins have a tendency to be rather irate.

All the kids in my neighborhood love their high school. I've found the students at CHS to be very courteous and very well prepared for college. There's a ton of school spirit at CHS. The teachers are wonderful, and the administration is very caring. My teenager absolutely loves going to school!
