Hi, I'm a junior about to finish this year. Cherokee is a truly awful environment for kids of all types. Bullying is not treated how it should be at all in this district, from the elementary schools and into the high schools. Most teachers will either ignore, or try to support students of diversity but others (a very specific physics teacher) will instead choose to attack due to political ideologies. I find that the sheer size of this school makes it difficult to maintain friendships. Also, the education is sorely lacking, especially in the English department. I have not learned a single thing in English since Freshman year. Due to all of the above, my family is currently looking into alternative schools for my senior year.

Administrators love to power-trip only when they want to, not when anything bad actually happens to a student.

BEST HIGH SCHOOL AROUND! Best places for your student and kids to develop life skill and education. Cherokee really sets kids up for success!

Cherokee is falling short in making sure all students are protected from bullying. There is not enough expectation of tolerance for those who are good kids but live outside the norm. Even some staff are complacent about bullying as if it is to be expected. Support could also be given to those that are bullied in coping with a bad situation. So sad that the numerous bullies (that will look for anything to pick on) just plain enjoy the high they get from torturing others so that they feel strong when they are really not happy with themselves.

When I once brought this to coaches attention (who are also teachers) they not only made it known to the team that I did, but instigated it and now two years later still hold it against my child. I later found out this is a Cherokee wide issue.

Some teachers are not consistent with their standards. They also do not check for homework and then will put it in as a 0 a week later.

Depends on the teacher. Considering some of the teachers do not follow district policies and then have to be brought to the principals attention for not allowing lunch and learns etc.

This school offers so many electives, sports etc. but they have staff who are more concerned with keeping the right parents happy and not a safe, bully free, anti racial, and anti LGBTQ environment. It could and should be a safe environment for ALL students but they do not enforce the same consequences for all children.

Depends on what you would consider leadership. If you consider staff and coaches being bought off with local sports tickets, shows, and country club events to give advantages to their children then yes they are amazing leaders. For the average child who wants to work for their education and have a fair shot....no.

If I could go back and choose a different district to live in I WOULD. Now I am paying higher taxes for a school that doesnt care if these kids are happy or depressed. But they got their free Phillies tickets!

My three daughters attended Cherokee and my family comes from a long line of Lenape graduates. The school is large, but the staff is very attentive and individualized to students needs. Not all children are rich and spoiled in the school, it comes from the home. I highly recommend Cherokee and the district to anyone considering a quality education from a caring staff.

On top of things most of the time. Few teachers might want to retire or learn what thier "other" class is about or stick to what u know. Other wise most are excellent.

Cherokee High School provided me with opportunities to excel in band, theater, and voice as well as academic courses that were off the beaten path such as humanities, which awakened my interest in art, architecture and world history for the very first time. Also, I had the chance to study two modern languages, Spanish and Italian, both of which I went on to excel in during college. I now speak Spanish fluently. These courses and activities kept my day interesting, always challenging and always fun. Cherokee has quality teachers, quality facilities and classes that set the foundation for me to successfully continue learning through college and for the rest of my life. Thank you Cherokee!!!

Cherokee High School is a great place to learn and prepare for college. Cherokee is a large high school, but during my time there not once did I feel like "just another number." The teachers were very attentive to the needs of their students. Because of the teachers at Cherokee I am currently pursuing a degree in history. The teachers are so attentive that one teacher noticed that I was having a personal problem without me even saying anything. The administration is supportive and helpful. Cherokee High School is a great school and certainly helped me move on to a great college.

Cherokee High School offered my two children a MARVELOUS educational, technical, athletic, social, character building experience during their four years. They have developed into ambitious, dependable, happy, self- assured young adults as a result of the dedication of Linda Rohrer, Donna Charlesworth, Coach Mehigan, all of the Great teachers, counselors and coaches. The school facilities are second to none and the community and the parents are the Best anywhere! If I had to do over again, I would not change one thing!!
