I am impressed with this school. My daughter is new to the school and the country and the Vice Principal, Miss Keaton and her staff have made the transition reaaly smooth. She is excelling as the teachers make an extra effort to ensure that she along with other students leave the building each day with new knowledge. Discipline is good and there is obvious care and concern for each student. I just love this school.
I consider Cesar Chavez one of the best schools in Washington DC. For me, what makes the school special is the public policy program that allows students to learn about issues of public concern and come up with solutions to them. This is important for me as student because I feel that it gives me thinking and leadership skills. At the same time we help our community. I think Chavez is a very good school and should make the school admissions stricter in order to have a better environment where all students give their best.
great teaching, needs more arts options and sports. more parents should get involved. excellent public policy program and internships.
Cesar Chavez Public charter High school is one of the best schools I have ever attended. I learn so much from this school. This school is preparing me for my future. Not just college, but my everyday life. Chavez teacheers are so wonderful, they don't hold any information from you, if they fill that you should know something then, trust me you will know by the end of the school year. This school is just so wonderful. That was for the parents. For the childern, don't think that you will come to Chavez with any type of attitude problems, because they will nip it in the bud so fast. But you'll still have fun!
I value Cesar Chavez school because it has taught my daughter the importance of getting a good education and it pushes her to do her best. The teachers keep her motivated and challenged. The teachers are so involved in her learning and mastering the necessary skills to succeed I will always be in debt to them. When you have a strong leader it trickles down. This is so evident at Cesar Chavez.
