My child graduated Cordova HS and received scholarship offers to 6 leading Universities/Colleges. Cordova is as great school. Support from the community is what make our school a great place for our students. Let not be afraid to face the negitive forces that are stealing our student's future and lets save our community for the betterment of our child. Sincerely
memphis city schools needs to step it up. Look up Garland Independent School District thats how u run a school district. Memphis is way behind technically speaking, we have so few technical devices at our disposal, ESPECIALLY CORDOVA HIGH SCHOOL
I am a recent CHS graduate and I definitely think Cordova is one of the best available schools in the city. There has been a lot of bad press in the past, but there is honestly a great faculty of teachers who truly care about their students, and a large number of students who are active members of the CHS community.

I currently go to Cordova and it's an excellent school. Yes we have problems with overcrowding but that's not all our fault. Another high school needs to be built. Anyway, Cordova offers more AP and honors classes than any other Memphis city schools. We have tons of teachers who try their best to help the students. If you're child has a problem it's probably their own fault and you just can't accept that your child is not perfect. Don't bash my school.
Cordova High School has been a major dissappointment for my child. This school offers poor leadership and follow through, the administrators do not communicate and the school is over crowded. My child has exceptional needs and this school has done little if anything to accommodate.
I currently attend Cordova High and must say that my experience so far has been great. Many people try ans scrutinize Cordova besause of its being zoned and bussing in urbanized children. Its strictly racist and just shows the ignorance and hate that intolerable people condome today. If your so unsatisified with Cordova HIgh why don't you just transfer your child, instead of bashing Cordova's name. Cordova HIgh School has a great learning, and all schools are in some need for improvment. However, Cordova is still one of the highly ranked high schools in the city. So i tthink its doing pretty darn good!!
I went to this school last year and I think I could not have attended a better school. The teachers are there to help, they have SO many extracurricular activities to participate in, and our list of honors and AP goes on and on. I agree that the administration is not that great, in the sense that they are just more strict than previous years and our money is just not going to the right places, instead spent on identification badges for everyone. But I can assure you our standard of education is very high and I'm Rhodes student now so I couldn't ask for anything better.
The school is ok. The problem is only fire alarm that some students made.They should slove problem by focus group (gang) or group counseling.The another problem is world history class that teacher may make mind mapping for concept of any section.Some teachers only talk and not use board or paper.Or teacher may use media from History movie to help students.The exercises is very difficult too.
Although individual teachers at Cordova strive to help their students succeed, and the diversity among the student base is excellent, the administration of the school (and the Board of Ed) make the school environment horrible. Teachers, parents, and students alike have complained about the leadership of CHS
