Chapel Hill's administration is excellent. The principal and asst principal's truly care about the students, have high expectations of the students because they care, but also are relational with the students. Chapel Hill has a JROTC program that is excellent as well and I'd recommend any student going to the school be a part of this program as it encourages the students to be leaders in their schools, communities, etc. The only thing I don't like about Chapel Hill is that over the years we have gotten a lot of kids in the county who, along with their parents, just don't really care about education and my daughter has told me of some of the difficulties the teachers struggle with as far as disrespect from some of the students. The school is very diverse and the kids all seem to get along well with each other. There aren't any racial tensions here. Overall, I really like Chapel Hill, believe it has been an excellent school for my daughter, and it is my top choice of high schools in Douglas County. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
