Chaboya Middle School

I am a ninth grader and graduated from Chaboya last year. Even though the school is easy, there is so much competition between students. I hear parents interviewing kids on what grades they get and what classes they take. People care more about getting into some private high school than enjoying the middle school experience. The school is high achieving because of students, not the teachers. Most teachers don't teach enough or well, except teachers like Mr. Atkins and Mr. Grassi who are awesome. Mr. Trent is cool too. The staff is rude. When you go and ask them a question, they look at you like you're an alien. Overall, Chaboya is a bad school. Unfortunately, with schools like Quimby in the district, it might be the best option.

I LOVE CHABOYA!!!! I am currently an 8th grader. When I came in 7th grade, I was a nervous little 6th grader but Chaboya has made we more confident. I took all of the honors classes this year and last year... 7th Grade: Honors/GATE Science and Algebra 1 8th Grade: Honors/GATE Science, Geometry, Honors English The honors classes are much more challenging. ALL of the teachers at Chaboya are wonderful...They motivate you and inspire you to do your best. HOWEVER, the office staff is a little rude. I have made plenty of friends (the kids are friendly) and I know these friendships will last for life. Half of the school is in the Honors Society so we are REALLY smart people. I am graduating this June and I don't want to leave!!! If you attend CMS, you will have the best middle school experience GUARANTEED... However, the school is full of cliques and a competition to be "cool" and "fashionable." Sometimes it can be overwhelming to try to fit in.... BUT nevertheless, you will never regret attending Chaboya!

This School Is The Best School There Is Because Of The Great Teachers And The Great Staff

I just graduated from Chaboya, and while the school was DECENT, it was far from excellent or being significantly above average. First off, the school is very EASY. API scores are high, but the credit should be given to the higher achieving students. Don't get me wrong, some of the teachers I had were wonderful, but it was balanced by others who taught little and even lacked knowledge in the subject. More honors classes are needed, along with improving current ones as they are too easy, sometimes easier than regular classes. (I took all of them but geometry.) Homework is almost always minimal, even in honors (good for me, bad if you're a parent who cares or you like homework.) Elective choice is weak and classes lacks difficulty. Foreign language is NOT offered and should be(i.e. intro first year and the first high school course second year.) Sports program, run by teachers, is GREAT. Office is VERY rude, impatient, and unkind. Response to punishment can be understood if rude, but as reactions to simple questions, more should be expected. School is safe, and I was able to make excellent friends there, but many people try to hard to fit in and be "cool" and it gets annoying.

Great school admin, has website with daily homework scheduling for students (& hence info for parents) is 1st rate. My son was getting B's in elementary school & now getting A's primarily due to this tool(minimize miscommunication on homework, projects and assignments) . Also help students/parents/teachers contacting with one another instantly

Chaboya is an absolutely awesome middle school. I just graduated from Chaboya and I'm really going to miss it. During my two years there, I believe I have grown strong to be more independent than I ever was before. Friends and staff are what keep the school in such great condition. Love you Chaboya!

My daughter transitioned beautifully from Silver Oak Elementary school to Chaboya. The school has done a great job of placing students into advanced math. The teachers and administrators have addressed all concerns I have had. Overall, very happy with this school.

At Chaboya, I am an 8th grader. Classes I take are Honors Language Arts, Leadership, Advanced Algebra, and GATE science. Teachers are very interactive and know each student well. Chaboya offers ample electives including band, choir, leadership, life skills, more and also provides advanced classes in math and language arts, and offers GATE science. Leadership is a program I am very fortunate to have participated in this year. Students who participate in this are able to work at their school in the student store, where drinks and food can be purchased by their peers and themselves, and along with other activities, they have the privilege to decorate and plan dances. People are friendly, and teachers prepare you for high school. Many people at Chaboya apply to private high school and former students have gone to schools such as Mitty, Notre Dame, Bellarmine, Presentation, St. Francis, and Valley Christian. Go Colts!
