Chaffey High is a large school: 3,223 students. Size usually brings more course choices and activities than a smaller school can staff, but kids can also blend into the crowd. Ask how the school keeps students known and supported.

Chaffey High runs 23.9:1 students to teachers, above the national average. That often means bigger classes. Ask how the school supports kids who need extra help, and whether there are teaching assistants or small-group time.

37% of students at Chaffey High were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
