Very bad experience here. My son, one of only a few colored kids at the school, would complain of teachers being rude. Only one teacher he really liked. She gave us hope. But we constantly faced challenges with the community as well. At one point, my son did not eat his lunch for a couple days for he said they told him there was no more silverware in the cafeteria. No one was welcoming, only cold shoulders and stares. Would not recommend going here if you are person of color. They do not treat you right. Actions speak LOUDER than words.

Coming from a large school, CSHS is a small school, big heart! IB, AP and dual enrollment, EVIT is a hidden gem. The teachers are incredible, the academics are top-notch, and the tight-knit community makes all the difference. The students are kind and motivated, largely thanks to the supportive environment. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

Moving into middle school can be intimidating, but STMS makes the transition seamless. The smaller environment is perfect for 6th–8th graders who are still finding their footing. The teachers here really understand this age group, they provide the right balance of academic challenge and emotional support.Because it’s a tight-knit community, the students actually look out for one another. My child feels safe, seen, and encouraged to try new things, whether in the classroom or through extracurriculars. It’s been a fantastic experience for our family
