Chilhowie High School

One of the best schools around in our area.

Listen. I think this school is great. idk people who ever complain about anything. Probably the classes being long but that is a great thing. Some people need to realize that they need to get over themselves and actually take a look at the school and not the people in it. The daughter probably had a bad experience with some students and she wanted to transfer. Some students are mean but that doesnt mean bash the school for the student. This school is great and it has everything it needs to be the best. It has plenty of programs and scholarships and nobody has to pay to take a test unless it is the SAT or ACT. They aren't even that bad. Overly dramatic!!

I have had 2 children in this school and they have always had a great selection of classes and many college credit classes to choose from. My oldest graduated last year and is enrolled in college at this time, as are most of her classmates. Maybe the other parents child just did not want to better herself by attending college so the parent just wants to trash the school.

It is strange how things can be different from one school to another. I teach in smyth County and have never asked a kid for money to take a test. The course offerings are available. Students can take courses from cooking through college level physicis. I think the parent below had a case with the administration, which is top-notch at CHS, and want to trash the school. I think a parent needs to visit and talk with school officials and not rely on a parent with a single bad experience.

My daughter went to this school, to say the least, it was horrible. The school has no programs and scholarships whatsoever. None of the kids even want to go to college. You have to pay for things like tests, which is ridiculous. The environment is not friendly. They do not offer enough classes. I had to transfer her out.
