Chaparral High School

Great High School located in Scottsdale! GO BIRDS
Teachers, staff and coaches are fabulous! Great experience for both my children!

I have interviewed students that currently go here. They have given me some colorful information. Such as the many drug dealers, sluts, and the other average group that attends. They have informed me to avoid this school as much as possible.
If you are looking at high schools in northern Scottsdale avoid this one. Please for the sake of your maturing children.

In the time since the last review the adminstration has changed. The once Vice-​Principal is now the Principal and the school is running smoothly.
My wife, and so far one daughter have graduated from Chaparral. One more will graduate this year, and next year we’ll have 2 in Chaparral.
We have been very happy with the school, teachers and adminstration. We just wish they would get the roof top pool fixed for the students.

It’s a pretty decent high school. The mascot is the Firebird. Size is about 2,000. Football team is consistently above average, and there are a decent number of AP courses. There are a wide spread of clubs, and it’s relatively easy to create a new one. Like all schools, some teachers are obviously much better than others. Recently the campus has been renovated. Looks brand new, but from the outside it’s pretty unfriendly.
This is a public school within the SUSD, and recently allowed open enrollment. At the time of this writing, the admistration is undergoing changes, so not much is known for the future of Chaparral. There are enough opportunities at Chaparral to create your future, with as much success as scholar or athlete as you desire.
