My child has been in the school since kindergarten and unfortunately, I am not in a position to have him change schools due to custody issues. However if I could I would, yes the school is tuition free but it does not fail to ask for money every week and offer times to pay off your parent participation
... Read more hours with cash. I highly object to that and find it offensive. The school has too much going on all at once which makes it overwhelming to both parents and students, The staff has a high turnover rate both in the administration, before/after school program and teachers, every year there has been new teachers in both of the 6-9 classes. Now with the relocation of the school they are changing the format once again.What I find most concerning is that they do not operate, as a Montessori should, teaching to star testing. Read less

This is a charter school with a principal & staff who are truly passionate about teaching & children. The parents are also awesome in going beyond the required no. of parent hours.

My child started here as a Kindergartner and is now in 1st grade. I've given her the choice (something Montessori-trained children are very good at by this age) to switch schools and she's chosen to stay. I didn't like the school at first because I was new to the whole school thing and didn't feel
... Read more they were tending to her needs as well as I'd like. I then realized that no school is going to revolve around my child and this campus is a great compromise between home schooling and public education. The reason is that parent involvement is huge and the campus is so small that we all know each other. My biggest complaint would be all the whiny parents who think it is THEIR child who should be receiving more attention. This school has done a beautiful job of teaching us all to work together as a community. Read less

We are one of the original families to start with CMP when it first opened. My child has excelled academically, emotionally and psychologically from his experience there. He began as a kindergartener and will graduate from 6th grade this year. He has been allowed to keep achieving greater and greater
... Read more academic heights and not be held back to the pace of the rest of the class as in traditional schools. I credit the CMP teachers and philosophies for instilling a love of learning and a pride in achieving high standards to my child. It is not a school for every child or every parent. It is very small and even after 6 years, there are kinks to be worked out. The breadth of learning your child will receive is unsurpassed at any public or private school in Sacramento. Read less

For a Montessori school that is also a free public charter school, this one is excellent. They are fairly new and are still working out kinks in their system, but they are still providing an excellent education.
