Chinle High School

I am currently attending Chinle High School, I have straight As and Bs currently. There are some great quality teachers at Chinle High School, however I feel like an overhaul of the teachers need to be done. Some of them don't care about the students at all, same with the office staff, I was tardy due to muddy roads and a no-show bus, but they couldn't have cared less, rolled their eyes at me, and nearly sent me to detention. Parents don't care either, the involvement sucks. This rubs off on the students, half of them don't care simply because of what they see from their parents and teachers. The principal is in denial about the drug and gang problems in his school and instead opts to crack down on cell phones and things of the like, but they're not the root of the problem. I am a student and can see that the way this school is run is completely out of order. PLEASE someone help this school before it crumbles!

Overall pretty good programs. Due to a high level of ELL students the academics are not as rigorous as they probably should be. My child really likes the school and feels safe there.

Im not a parent but Im a graduate of Chinle High. Its a good educational school, Ive learned alot from being on time to class, to disiplinary actions from the principal when I did wrong. I was involved with many class meetings and was involved with sports and clubs. Its a great school, I thank Chinle High for letting me the way to go, and its unlimited, I would want to strive more and gain as many knowledge from a lot of things. Chinle High has made me gain confidence in what I want to become in the future. So here I am expanding my options in going to school so I thank my schools and the whole district of Chinle.

Chinle High School is a great way to meet new people, especially if you'd like to meet more native americans.

My child has attended this school district from k-3 and went to another district. since his return he doesn't feel academically challenged. The high school has changed to provide a safer learning environment, but can do better to challenge it's students. Leadership has changed for the betterment of students but are the students themselves willing to go with the flow? Need to improve curriculm to better enhance the learning and teaching style of higher ranked students. These higher achieving students are being utilized to assist teachers with their knowledge and insights. It should be the other way around. The teachers should be better equip. to challenge all students.

Chinle High school lacks good leadership. While some excellent teachers have come and gone what has remained is lackluster at best. The curriculum is not unified and right now, school safety and a zero tolerance policy toward violators is avoided.
