City Honors College Preparatory Charter School

I agree with many of the students when they say that City Honors is overrated because it is. However, with the opportunity of college classes, I was able excel in college, which I am presently attending. Though what I would like to say is that even though not every teacher in City Honors is the best, there are some that are so wonderful, and by wonderful I mean some of greatest people who know so much about life and making decisions, if not academia. And honestly, I must say that the close relationships I developed with my teachers, at least the ones that I had, which are still there, is what really made me proud of attending City Honors. Being in college I see how unprepared I was, but in the end, I have learned to appreciate the high school I grew up in because of the awesome teachers that always had my back. So take advantage of developing relationships with teachers there because they are truly cool! So students currently attending City Honors, don't be so jaded. Just hang in there and enjoy your time while you can because when you start college, the real work will begin.

This school does have excellent teachers. However, some teachers don't have the ability to teach that makes all of the students understand. The majority of the staff does care about our future. Our school does need more support. More activities and courses are needed to give the school more diversity. In order for that to happen, our school needs a bigger campus. Plus, there has to be something that makes the students proud that they go to City Honors. There isn't a lot of school spirit. I wish there was a wider range of college classes to choose from and take on campus. The school needs more organization when it comes to all schoolwide events. I hope to see some changes within a few years.

I am a sophomore and I have attended City Honors since my freshman year. This school seems to spoken of very highly, but I was extremely disappointed when I began school there. They speak of all the classes and clubs they have,yet they dont have many. The environment is decent, but overall it is not at all what an 'honor' school should consist of. The staff is split 50/50. There are some extremely immature, neglegent teachers; while there are some EXCELLENT teachers. This school is okay, but I would not suggest it. It is very overrated. You can receive the same quality education at the surrounding high schools. The only advantage is the small campus.

i am freshman and city honors and was somewhat dissapointed with city honors at the begiining when they come to your school they say they have all these classes and clubs they dont have but city honors does offer a staff that does care including the principal and they are always trying to have their students accepted to college ............overall city honors is getting better as more well rounded school but the math program needs to be addresed the teacher for ninth grade is really nice but not qualified....as the school gets better i will be much happier..

I am a parent of a recent graduate of City Honors class of 2009. I am extremely happy to say that Ms. Brown and her staff are excellent. My son graduated 4.0 and was excepted into over 5 different Universities. The staff at City Honors work very hard in preparing their students. I rate this school the highest honors. The success of a student begins with the parent(s) and the students will to listen and learn.

City Honors High School is a very unique school. It is spectacular in educating children with multiple learning capabilities. The staff is like no other. The support they extend to our children in exploring their educational heights is superb. Thank you Mrs. Brown and staff of City Honors High. Mary's mom.

Well, I'm now a freshman at CHHS and I expected wayy more than what I'm receiving. The teachers are more so out of there classrooms, rather than in their classrooms teaching. It's quite sad, but I only have to finish out 9th grade and I'm out of there. Looking into King Drew Magnet High School and/or West Adams Preparatory High School. Trying to make the best out of my last year at CHHS, but it's impossible. I'm not happy there. :/

This school is simply outstanding the teachers trully care about the students and go out of their way to shape a age of possitive young adults City Honors gets negativity from some people simply because when you go the extra mile and someone doesn't ofcourse their going to hate because your making them look bad... And how muh their not doing becomes evident ! s.k

CHHS truely isn't what they make it out to be. I am currently attending the school and i can honestly say that i feel as though i am getting cheated out of an education at times. CHHS puts on a facade as though they are the ' Best in the ....Weeest' as one of the teacher's at CHHS woud say. CHHS tries to front as though they are better than everyone else, which I personally feel is the farthest thing from the truth!! There are a few dedicated teachers, who pride themselves on teaching their students and making sure that by the end of the year that they leave their class feeling as though they have actually learned something. A few teachers can't hold up an entire school though. I really wish that i had transferred to another high school. I wouldnt advise anyone to send their child to CHHS
