About Community High School

Community High School is a regular public high school located in the heart of Roanoke, Virginia. Serving grades nine through twelve, this close-knit school has an enrollment of just 64 students, allowing for a student-teacher ratio of 4.6:1, which fosters a personalized learning environment where teachers can give individual attention to each student’s needs and growth. With fourteen full-time equivalent teachers, the school provides ample support and resources for its small community.

While Community High School currently ranks at #179 out of 457 schools in Virginia according to MySchoolScout, there is room for academic improvement as test score data isn't available to provide a complete picture.

Community High School is situated in the heart of Roanoke's mid-size city setting, surrounded by local businesses, parks, and cultural attractions that enrich the educational experience for its students.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 64 students, Community High School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 4.6:1, Community High School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

As a private school, Community High School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
