The school is adjacent to North Dekalb Stadium, which is used by many sports teams and local schools. It was last renovated in 2014, using $58 million in federal stimulus bonds as well as $11 million already set aside by the [[special-purpose local-option sales tax]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Love|first=Gloria|title=Dunwoody Neighbor|url=http://dunwoody-neighbor.com/stories/New-building-in-works-for-Chamblee-High-School,165996|accessdate=7 December 2010}}</ref>
Chamblee High School's main building was last renovated in 1971 and is being pushed fifty percent beyond maximum capacity. In the 2010-2011 school year, an additional 108 students were added to the school under the [[No Child Left Behind Act|NCLB]], but due to insufficient space, DeKalb diverted these students to an annex of the school, as allowed by the NCLB. These transferred students were in direct violation of Chamblee's charter, as not all of them met its requirements. This was ignored by the [[DeKalb County School District|DCSD]].<ref>{{cite web|title=A bungle to Chamblee's charter?|date=13 September 2010|url=http://dekalbschoolwatch.blogspot.com/2010/09/could-moseley-have-caused-bungle-to.html|accessdate=7 December 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=200 Students Forced To School 15 Miles Away |url=http://www.wsbtv.com/news/24704690/detail.html |publisher=wsbtv |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100824105340/http://www.wsbtv.com/news/24704690/detail.html |archivedate=2010-08-24 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Chamblee pushed over capacity by NCLB transfers |url=http://www.thecrier.net/articles/2010/08/18/front/chamblee.txt|publisher=Dunwoody Crier|accessdate=7 December 2010}}</ref>

The school is adjacent to North Dekalb Stadium, which is used by many sports teams and local schools.

The DCSD board has approved construction of a new facility due to the poor conditions of CHS's current facility, such as vermin and insect infestations, mold, and inability to renovate. This new facility will use $58 million in federal stimulus bonds as well as $11 million already set aside by the [[special-purpose local-option sales tax]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Love|first=Gloria|title=Dunwoody Neighbor|url=http://dunwoody-neighbor.com/stories/New-building-in-works-for-Chamblee-High-School,165996|accessdate=7 December 2010}}</ref> Construction of the new {{convert|250000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} facility began in June 2011 and was to be completed by May 2013.<ref>{{cite web|title=Construction of new Chamblee High to begin in June|date=10 March 2011|url=http://www.reporternewspapers.net/2011/03/10/construction-chamblee-high-june/|publisher=Reporter Newspapers}}</ref> The new completion date is August, 2014.

Chamblee High School, formerly known as Chamblee Charter High School, is a public secondary school located in Chamblee, Georgia, United States. As of 2010, it serves 1512 students in grades 9–12. It is the second oldest high school of the DeKalb County School District, having opened in 1917.[2]

Chamblee was a charter school until 2021 and accepts students from all of Dekalb County as well as from its local district. Chamblee was named a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence in 1996[3] and is one of 27% of schools in Dekalb to make the AYP of the No Child Left Behind Act.[4] In 2010, Chamblee was ranked #215 of the 1500 best public high schools by Newsweek magazine.[5] Its students' SAT scores are ranked first in Dekalb County and sixth in the state.[6]

When adjusted for differences in demographics, Chamblee High School has the highest SAT scores of all Atlanta-metro schools (including Cobb, Gwinnett, and Forsyth). Its 84th percentile ranking is superior to Walton (73rd percentile) and other suburban counterparts. The student body also has one of the highest acceptance rates to tier 1 colleges and universities in the state of Georgia.[7]

The school offers a variety of extracurricular activities, courses, and sports. There are elective performing art classes which are bolstered by performances. CCHS offers 32 AP courses, the most of any high school in Dekalb County, and was named an AP Honor School in 2011 for every category in which it was eligible.[8][9]
