The naysayers are unqualified judgemental people presenting no facts to support their allegations.I went to CHS and was accepted at MIT, RPI and Dartmouth with full tuition scholarships offered at each. I o0btained a degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT. I was given a job in Program Management at Aerojet General on the Minuteman ICBM during the cold - working 6 fday weeks for several years until we matched the USSR in the Cold War.I was also P.M. on numertous other missile motor programs for NASA, Navy and Air Force over a period of 38 years.

It is unfortunate to live in an area that offers exceptional educational experiences in both St. Johnsbury and Lyndonville to keep a poorly run school like CHS around. Buildings are below standard quality, course offerings are rudimentary at best, teacher and principal turn-over is high and school board possesses little management and leadership ability.

This is a flat out lie. Of course the administration is fully cerified, if not the VT DOE would step right in. This school is not in trouble. The Middle School and Elementary teachers are excellent.The administration is totally dedicated to these kids. There are a coupleof high school teachers who are stirring up a mess, as well as a couple of out of control parents.

This school is in real trouble. Very unhappy students and parents. School board and other administration are out of control. Principal and v. principal are not even certified. Being pushed through by the superintendant

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Vermont used the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading and math, grades 5, 8 and 11 in writing and grades 4, 8 and 11 in science. The NECAP reading, math, and writing tests are given in the fall and test students on content taught in the previous year. The science portion of the NECAP is administered in the spring each year. The NECAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Vermont. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the test.
