Colonial Heights High School Reviews
Rating 3.59 out of 5 245 reviews
Colonial Heights Public Schools are great overall. The staff is very supportive and ready to help. The administration is always willing to direct you and help as needed. Our arts department is continuously expanding. Our academics are good but could use work; however, our administration is always looking for ways to improve by partnering with other schools and colleges.
There is a great education system and amazing teachers; however, there is not a lot of diversity among the staff or students.
everyone in colonial heights is so small minded, it's crazy. many teachers grew up in CHPS and their kids get all of the favoritism and glory for doing what everybody else is doing. such a weird place to grow up
I like that I go to a small school and it is easier to become close with the teachers. It is easier to be treated like an individual rather than just another student out of many others.
Great School, Wish Teachers were more involved and we had more clubs and activities to do throughout the year
Overall, I would say that academically Colonial Heights High school is a good school, however the people I've attended it with aren't the best. CHHS definitely has a "small town" mindset.
As a student of Colonial Heights High School and the daughter of Colonial Heights High School graduate I can not say enough good things about CHHS. Before moving to Colonial Heights I did not feel included and after moving to Colonial Heights I became part of a few clubs with other students and immediately felt included.
Most of the teachers there are great. However, the dress code is unreasonable and heavily applied to girls. Girls cannot wear yoga pants while the boys have gotten away with having inappropriate graphics on their shirts.
It also hard to fit in if you are an African American or Hispanic student, as teachers are more likely to assume you are a trouble maker.

Colonial Heights High School is a prestige school in how they encourage everyone, students and staff, to achieve and become the best they can be. The administration office is very engaged with the students and knowing their goals, seeing their progress, and encouraging them to push forward. On top of this, their academic goals for each student and the help they offer for one to maintain their grades and sense of readiness for upcoming challenges are remarkable. The teachers and staff can all be spoken kindly of for their involvement as well as their skill sets. Their extracurricular activities are all very welcoming and diverse, leaving one with many options and chances to get involved as well as engaged in a club that best suits them and their wants/needs. Overall, I truly enjoyed attending this high school and having the opportunity to take part in all that I did (clubs, sports, etc) as well as being able to take full advantage of their resources/ support offered.
Because we are in a smaller community we are more united as a school. There are endless opportunities to get involved and hang out with friends. The teachers try their best to make the school a friendly environment for all the students.
Colonial Heights High School is a loving school with teachers who care for each and every student´s success. The exhilirated acedemic courses provide me with chances to better myself everyday. This school provides a safe and an accepting enviornment for everyone, and positiviness all around. One thing I would like to see more of is diverse Clubs. In addition to the variety of Clubs that are offered here, I would like to see more Clubs dedicated to minorities and those who stray from the heard. Overall, Colonial Heights High School is an amazing shcool, and I will be forever proud to be a Colonial!
My experience at Colonial Heights High School is very average. It has about 1000 student. Everyone knows eachother.
My experience at colonial heights was amazing! The teachers were always really nice and helpful and actually took an interest in the students to make sure they were doing okay.
I like my school and I am very proud to be a colonial! However, the facilities are not the most updated, academics could be better, and our sports teams lose a lot. On the contrary, our science and technological oppourtunies are plentiful and our music and arts programs are amazing! Our band has been an honor band for more than 15 years in a row and our drama groups compete regionally.
The school itself is fine with the building being big enough and having some renovations been done. The teachers are fair and nice, but still are hardworking when wanting to help their students.
Overall, the experience at CHHS was an average high school experience. There is not anything special about my school. You for four years and you're there to get good grades and if you don't then you are considered not good enough. I tink the overall feel of the school needs some changes.
I enjoy the school and it’s many benefits to many and my fellow students with many resources being dedicated for our future and our impact on the economy and world
