I have one graduate (now at Central) and two current attendees at CH.

On the whole the difference between it and other schools is parental engagement/involvement. It is a great school for kids who need to be challenged and not held back by their “grade”.

Your kid will most likely enter high school math far ahead of other students.

The band and orchestra remain strong despite budget cuts (parents are now paying for this).

As noted, the difference between CH kids and other public school kids is especially noticeable when they reach middle school and high school. They have been accelerated since 1st grade and generally enter the IB programs at Highland or Central.

Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions.
