City High is Tuition FREE* and open to the public.
Our daughter graduated from City Charter June of 2022. We selected the City High for its smaller classes, overall kind environment, and a curriculum geared toward producing well prepared, marketable students upon graduation. By all accounts, City Charter exceeded all expectations. Over the past four years, she learned how to write essays, take good notes, became proficient in Microsoft Office, and perhaps most importantly, learned how to study. She is excited and prepared for college, and I firmly believe this is due to the City High educators. We are very grateful for the City High experience.
