Chaffey High School

We live in an area that has one of the highest rated high schools in this district but we chose to interzone transfer our youngest son here because he loves Chaffey High School, their JROTC program and the staff and administration. I was concerned being new to the area and it not being as “prestigious” as the other high school that we were zoned for but we are so thankful for this great high school and very happy our son chose Chaffey. It’s a hidden gem with mature, seasoned teaching staff and administration that care!

The principal, Dr George Matamala is literally the best principal I have ever met. Our older sons attended high school at top ranked (and overpriced) private schools in Florida and I still feel that Dr Matamala is the best administrator I have ever seen do this job. He is an amazing leader, the staff is inspired to actually care and the kids in general love their school and him.

The campus is beautiful, it used to be a college and is historic. Yes the area served in its zoning is not as new and shiny as some of the surrounding areas in the district but if a child wants to be successful, this staff is going to rally behind that child to give them every opportunity and support to make it there. You don’t get that in public school these days anymore. Heck you don’t get that at high priced private schools either!

And if your child wants to get into mischief, the wrong crowd or throw away their opportunities, just like any other high school, there’s plenty of ways to do that here too. But hands down, I can’t say enough good things about this school and administration. Don’t believe any negative hype - this school and staff are amazing! If you’re child wants to succeed and you want a high school staff that goes above and beyond the call of duty.... Chaffey High School is the place. Go Tigers!

Wonderful school and amazing teachers graduated in 2011 with the help of Mrs. Oliva (R.I.P.) my counselor, who made everything possible to keep me on track!...

To all of you rating chaffey dont look at the superficial things make sure you sit down and think and truly appreciate what these people do or have done for you remember you cant blame others for you lazyness, ignorance, and immaturity; it will get you nowhere in this world.

Great job Chaffey high school on the expansion of the school I have graduated from
