First of all, CCHS NEEDS to update their equipment. For example, the fire alarms are either broken or it's only in certain classrooms to where other classes can't hear the alarm on a fire drill. It's not even just the equipment, but it's some of these counselors and teachers too. If there's one piece of advice I wish everyone can listen to, it's that do NOT trust the school counselor with your personal life. Some of the teachers just seem either rude or careless, but I've also found a few teachers that seem either mediocre or they just do their job naturally with no issues. Not to mention, the bullying in this school is absolutely insane. You'd get called emo if you had black hair, even if it was natural. You'd get called a furry if you are in a separate and isolated friend group from the rest. The furry jokes are literally dead. It's not funny. The fact that these teachers STILL let these kids get away with stuff is crazy. I saw a group of special needs kids get picked on because of their interests. There are these two girls who are dating but the "popular" kids make fun of them because they like different things from them; like Warrior Cats books so they assume they are furries. It's sicking. I'm surprised this school isn't even shut down yet, this school honestly sucks. Oh, you like to draw? Nope! You're weird and a target to bullying! Oh, you like to read fantasy books? Nope! You're weird and a target to bullying. Oh, you like a different interest from the "popular" and privileged kids? Nope! You're weird and A TARGET TO BULLYING! It's honestly upsetting seeing the "popular" kids get mad at the weird kids for not having what they have. I met this girl one time after she got bullied and barked at in the cafeteria, I asked her why they were doing that and you want to know the answer? She said it was because she wore a cat headband to match her cat shirt for dress up day. IT WAS A DRESS UP DAY FOR THE SCHOOL! These kids think they're so cool for trying out the newest trends and not participating in school activities to be cool. I am from a low-income family with a poor family name. Sometimes, I can't even afford certain things for school projects and sometimes my Internet cuts off and I can't get my schoolwork done at home. Some teachers don't care about those kinds of kids like me. You know what this treatment does? It brings us down and it doesn't make us want to try to work for the stupid paper that says we made it through 12 years of education.

CCHS is an absolute joke of a school. Terrible counselors, most of the teachers are sub-par, and the student body is filled with disgusting people. 90% of the funding is basically towards football and televisions. I do not recommend this school to anyone.

I went through the Coffee County School system from Preschool to the end of eleventh grade. I am now at my new school and feel as though I learned nothing. Here in Kentucky I have had to go back and learn stuff that they had learnt years before now. This school cares more about buying new TV's to put announcements on then paying for academic things. I was in Culinary and did not get to learn half of the things we needed to know because the school didn't have the funding. They did have funding to buy four flat screen TVs though. They really need to get priorities right at this school. There are teachers who would rather be your friend than discipline you. I honestly don't know how they became a reward school.

We are a TN "Reward School" for 2012 -2013 and the only HS in the immediate area to have earned this award based on student performance and growth in scores. The Tennessee Department of Education thinks CCHS is pretty awesome and I must agree. It all wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of some of the finest educators in the state of Tennessee, as well as the students! Way to go-- keep up the phenomenal work!

For those reviewing CCCHS, that think the number one emphasis is on football: Have you seen our record the last few years? Not much emphasis that I can see. Also, I can tell by the grammar of some of you that you surely are not getting an English education! Quit texting and pick up a grammar text. Teachers cannot learn for you, regardless of their skill set. I am a 65 year old graduate of CHS and I will stack my education up with anyone - certainly, today's graduates.

This school needs a serious organizational overhaul. This should begin with the new principal we got last year. Among the things he's accomplished are: changing the lunch schedule to three lunches, which, if you have second lunch like I do, splits your class in two, separated by lunch. Nobody seems to like the new system, even most of the teachers. He has also changed the way announcements are conveyed to students. The announcements are emailed to each student, which is ok if you have a phone, tablet, etc. that can connect to the internet. If you don't, then you're out of luck. Also, many of the teachers seem incapable of teaching their subjects. As a junior this year with a schedule full of honors and ap classes,the lack of teaching ability is not helping me get ready for college. Some teachers, such as the ones for ap english 3, ap us history, and hon. English 2 are exceptions to this, among others. Overall, this school is nowhere near the top as far as high schools go. The only reason I attend this school is because I live nowhere near any other high schol. If I lived close enough, I would surely have attended tullahoma high school.

I went to this school for my first semester of 9th grade. (I was in the Coffee County school system from Kindergarten until 9th grade) I hated it. Most of the teachers were horrible at their jobs, the education standards were very sub-par, and the building was terribly unsanitary and asbestos-riddled.The school is literally falling apart. I was bullied a bit, and when I went to the counselor for advice I was told to "get over it". Teachers and staff at this school constantly turn the other way in these situations. I was a straight A student, in honors classes, and I was terribly bored out of my mind. The classes were not challenging in the least. Not to mention with 30+ students per class there was no one on one interaction with the teacher. The overcrowding of the school is a problem, Manchester has 7 elementary schools, three Jr. high/Middle schools, but only ONE highschool? , The drug use, drop-out and pregnancy rate are terribly high, and the transfer rate (to homeschool and other schools in the area) is even higher. I only lasted one semester before I left and became a homeschooled student. I'm now a college student and I warn you that this school is absolutely horrible.
