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.

Chaparral's education system is mediocre. They offer AP, dual enrollment, and honors classes, which is amazing for students who want to get ahead in their college careers or who love rigorous education. Some teachers are exceptional and prepare their students for further education, where some do not seem to care about their students education.
