Rating 4 out of 5 7 reviews
Don't let the numbers fool you, because this district uses these skewed numbers to self-promote. The district is subsidized by wealthy parents who will do anything to get their child an A or get them on a varsity sport. The school is full of tutored and privately coached students. Sports teams are filled with athletes whose parents are int he same circle of friends. Ask anyone about the special education program and you will find it's filled with students who could do better with the proper support. The district recently built a large addition onto the high school for administrative offices, meanwhile the student body can't fit into the cafeteria or auditorium so they eat on the bleachers and folding tables in the gym with a tarp on the floor and have only grade level assemblies. It really leaves a lot to be desired if you look beyond the numbers.
Have 3 kids in the school system and couldn’t be happier with the education received. Kids are all flourishing and well prepared for higher education / life. Very happy with the approach used during covid and how rapidly the school responded to maintain an effective methodology to educate and keep everyone safe.
Chatham is the best. My kid got into an ivy league college all whilst attending public schools in the Chathams. Highly recommended.
