Love this school since day 1 because it provides challenge. Every teacher i had were very helpful.
Chippewa is a very good school for athletics and sports. You will receive about 4-5 hours of homework a night including studying for tests. I currently have a 3.0 gpa
CVHS is Actually not anywhere close to being one of the best schools in the state, it is actually ranked at 168 in the state, just so the facts are known, and are correct.
Terrible school with a huge drug problem and principal could care less about student safety!
Chippewa (9th grade center) is terrible! Straight-up. Most of the teachers DO NOT teach you. They give you an assignment and expect YOU to figure out everything for yourself. Finals and mid-terms count for too much of your overall grade. There is an OVERWHELMING amount of homework in every class (every day!). I have personally stayed up until 3am many-a-night, and I know other students who have done the same. This is an UNWELCOMING, unfriendly school. The students are overly preoccupied with sex. I was a victim of CONSTANT sexual harassment, and the administration did NOTHING about it. The male students definitely objectify certain females. If this sounds good to you, then CVHS/Chippewa Valley is your school.
I'm a former CVHS student and I'm happy with the education I received. I never realized how ahead of the game Chippewa put us until I got to college, and I was so grateful for that. I always excelled at CVHS, but it can be a hard school for students who are doing poorly because they are always dismissed because all that matters at CVHS is being the best. However, some of the teachers at CVHS are great to all students and truly make the experience worthwhile. I am now in college with people from other schools in the area and they talk about CVHS and how they were constantly told how amazing it was by the teachers in their home schools. This place is just doing a lot of things right.
I'm a former student. I had some fantastic teachers that I still keep up with, but also some terrible ones. Overall though, it was a decent place.
Nothing spectacular here, I felt lost in the crowd. I was a former honor role student who dropped off the radar when attending CVHS. I did have a few teachers who made a difference, but the rest were just there to collect paychecks.
As others have said, the school is pretty 'clicky'. But, however, it is easy to make friends because the students are very nice. As with every school, we have our share of bad teachers but about 95% of our teachers are very helpful and will also help if you are having troubles. Its unfair to say that the school is too 'clicky' because personally, I have found that if you at least TRY to make friends, you are almost guaranteed to. Our sports and outside activities are great, and about everybody can find some activity that they are interested in
Students at CVHS are just like any other high-school kids- they're clicky, they're abusive, and many of them are just not good people. It is safer, and less fights have broken out, than in Sakota, but it is stuill just a high school. I'd like to also invite all CVHS students to participate in the Day of Silence.
