Chapel Hill High School

I visited this high school for an event two weeks ago and was rather impressed. While I didn’t get the opportunity to tour any of the classrooms, I did see the auditorium and surrounding area. Everything seemed up to date and very clean. In other words, it was nice to go to a high school and be fascinated by artwork and design, rather than by student graffiti and exchanging of phone numbers on the bathroom walls. From what I saw, this school looks to be more contemporary than most. The only downside was the awkwardness of the parking lots.

One of the main reasons we moved here. I have kids that have been in the elementary, middle and high schools and we’ve been pleased every year. I’ve found the kids to be challenged without being overwhelmed and faculty and staff were very helpful easing the kids in when they were new.

When my high school got the best SAT scores in the state they made bumper stickers that said «Chapel Hill High School: Best in the State». Should I mention it’s a state that ranked 48^th in the country? Naaaaah.
Anyway, we promptly got out scissors and rearranged the letters to make the stickers say funny stuff like Chapel Hill High School: BEAT UP THE STATE or Cheap as Hell School: TASTE THE STATE. Once I looked at the clock in history class and there was a bumper sticker above it that said Chapel Hill High School: TASTE THIN BEETS.
Extra star for cancelling school even for the least little bit of ice falling from the sky. Extra ½ star for cancelling school for a week after Hurricane Fran. Minus one star for not including my middle name on my high school diploma.
Oh, were you looking for a helpful review? Oops. Um, Chapel Hill-​Carrboro schools are renowned across the state for high quality and well-​qualified teachers. Much cheaper than shelling out for Durham Academy, and you get the same level of education without your kids turning into purveyors of mass snobbery!
