Chesapeake High School

The school offers alot of oppurtunity. If you want your child to go to a four year university do not send them here. Send them to Broadneck, South River, or Severna Park. Chesapeake is infamous for sending too many students to Anne Arundel Community College, alot of students don't even shoot for four year programs becasue community college is so accepted in the area. Alot of the students that go away to four year leave after a year or a semester since Pasadena gives them the cushion to not be judged and it be okay. Their is No diversity at all, if you want a well rounded student send them to Arundel High School. The only sport you should send your child to school for is Cheerleading, Softball, or Golf. The principal is new, and has new rules where some are positive and some are not. The graduation is at the school, it has always been and every year it is miserable. You sit in a gym and burn up because every year it happens to rain. I don't know when they learn. The graduation is also really tacky where people wear gym clothes to the ceremony. The administration staff is great and they'll look out for you if you give them respect. Hard work pays off in this school.

I am currently a student at CHS. You make many relationships with friends and teachers that will last. Anyone can complain about a certain teacher but overall I have no complaints. Lunches are alright (could be better) but that's my own personal opinion. I now bring my own lunch based upon what I prefer to eat. I'm going to be a sophomore next year and you are greatly encouraged by teachers and administrators to take AP and honors classes. They want you to work to your full potential. Mr. Drazen (principal) is a fair guy and wants what we all want, a school to run smoothly. Yes, there are some negatives such as some of the troublemakers that attend there. I don't like the i5 program... Those students get away with almost everything in terms of what they can say and when they can leave class. This is just a statewide program though and we can only alter it so much. Overall, Chesapeake is a great school.

Let us remember the apple does not fall from the tree. The teachers are there to teach not to raise your children. The education is wonderful and the staff is a great team.

The Principal and teachers are great! They are very involved in the future of our children. Mr. Gimon is a excellent Special Ed. Teacher.

The AP teachers are fabulous at CHS - I've had great experiences in every department. The teachers of advanced courses are by and large very available, understanding, and passionate about what they do. Over the past few years, there have been issues with the new principal, who tends to make decisions without consulting the teachers and students first. But I'm going to graduate this year, and I feel that I've gotten a great, well-rounded education at this school.

I Believe the leadership is the best in this county. As a paerent I see just what the teachers and administration has to deal with. Maybe some parents need to come and see for themselves how their children act during the day.
