As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote Coming from a current student at this school, it’s absolutely awful. CHS does not care in the slightest about kids with mental illnesses, kids who are neurodivergent, kids who don't have money, LGBTQ+ kids, and kids who aren't in safe environments. At one point a counselor told my friend who’s diagnosed with major depressive disorder that he was too depressed to be at the school, that he was a distraction to other students, and that the world didn't revolve around him. That was one of the most inappropriate ways I have ever seen a person deal with mental illness, and the fact that they were allowed to say that is even more disgusting. “All of you are at an amazing school” They say as if there weren't five different fights in the very first week of school. The building is so overcrowded that all the students are just always irritated with each other which leads to more fights. This school saved lives when it housed people during Hurricane Katrina but quite frankly it seems like it's trying to take all those lives back with the amount of kids that want to kill themselves from how depressed they all are and the fact that this school doesn't care. Also the teachers are terrible, I can count on one hand the amount of good teachers I've had. My class was only just recently assigned a permanent history teacher, we didn't even have one at the beginning, for a while my friend didn't have a Spanish teacher, as a matter of fact, NO TEACHER EVER WENT TO THAT CLASS. They had a teacher assigned but failed to tell said teacher and so no teacher ever showed up for a couple of weeks. There are so many other situations I could recall but it would make it too long and I'm tired of typing so, in conclusion, this school sucks. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
