Chatham High School is a good school. It has certain flaws (The building is dirty and dated, it's extremely homogeneous, and there isn't a lot of school spirit). However, Chatham makes up for its flaw in a few categories. Firstly, we have some terrific sports teams. I'd argue that the majority, if not all, of our sports teams are average to above average. We also have a terrific performing arts department. Secondly, Chatham has an incredibly college readiness program. You get a lot of support in regards to college counselling. Lastly, Chatham has a lot of parent involvement. The PTO is massive, and they always have some event going on. Chatham has a mixed bag in regards to teachers. There are some terrific teachers, but there are also some terrible ones. The food sucks. It's public school, so that was expected. Overall, I enjoyed my time at Chatham. It's far from a perfect school, though.
The school is very good, the teachers are great, all the students are very good, I’ve never heard of any cases of bullying or anything like that. Everyone generally gets along pretty well. The school itself is quite good too, no issues with the building. The only “issue” is that the school isn’t very diverse, but that’s not really the schools fault.
