How are the high schools in Chandler? Public and Private Schools? (relocating, rental)

[Poncho]

My family and I are relocating to Chandler sometime in the summer. My daughter will be starting high school next school year and she has attended private school all her life. We are contemplating whether to put her in a private or public school. I believe the public high school in the area is Chandler High and Hamilton High. The private schools we are looking into are Seton Catholic High School and Valley Christian High School. Any input (good or bad) will be most appreciated.

chandler high is one of the top high schools in az, my son started there this year, I like it, they have a college type set up. they are a full yr school and are on a block scheduling. being full year is nice because they get 2 weeks off every 10 weeks, then summer they have almost 2 months off. it is nice with the time they have off because if you want to go somewhere it wont be crowded like it is during the spring break time...

That is nice to hear. We will visit several schools once we get there. Thanks for your reply.

I've read up on information on the official websites, school reviews and several other websites of the schools mentioned. Overall, the information I've read up have been good. I've read that Chandler High has an 80-year track record as one of the top academic schools in Arizona and Hamilton High is one of the most technologically advanced high schools in the country. I have family who reside in Chandler and they talk highly of Seton Catholic High School. However, I will make my informed decision when I arrive in Chandler and personally visit the schools. I think in any school, parental involvement is the key to the success of your child's education.
