I have been a student at CCS for 8 years, and over that 8 years i have watched the student body, administration, and educational standard drop to what you would expect from a mapleton district school. The harbinger of what was to come was the departure of administrator Scott Bruns in 2005. Since then,
... Read more the school has mutated from an honest Christ-centered environment to a mediocre school with chapel on Fridays. Student funding is poor, science and art labs have practically no budget whatsoever, and teachers are very bias as to who they truely help in the classroom. I am strongly disappointed in the school, and am very pessimistic about the future prospects this school has in store for itself Read less

I am a parent who highly recommends Community Christian. The teachers care for their students, and want their students to do well not only in their academics. But also in their personal lives, especially in their reationship with Christ. The students enjoy school and learning because of the teachers

CCS is a wonderful place to have your children educated in a loving Christ-centered environment. It has good academics and the children have an excellent opportunity to compete in the sports program. The spring drama presentations are excellent as well as the fall and spring music programs. I don't think

Terrible. This school is terrible. The education is way below par. Why do I say this? Most of the teachers do not actually teach. Rather, they read the directions for the assignment a loud and then proceed to go sit at their desks for the remainder of the period. They spend too much time getting distracted

No matter what they do. It has been shown through many students SAT or ACT scores that there a certain areas that the majority struggle in. There have been many complaints from parents and students about this particular issue and nothing is done. Save your money. Go somewhere else. Get a real education. Read less

We have had children in CCS for 9 years. We've loved it from the start because of the caring teachers, the family atmosphere and the good families we have made friends with. We feel that the school has improved with each year, especially at the high school level which was so new when we first came.
... Read more A couple of our childrem have graduated, gone on to college and have done very well. One of the best things about the school is that it reinforces and encourages daily the moral and character that we teach our children in the home. Read less

We had 3 children graduate from CCS. I would recommend it for its Christ-centered curriculum, teachers who love God and care about the students, and smaller class sizes.

Decent school for the *average* student. Nothing outstanding in either cirriculum or activities (clubs, etc. ) aside from multiple sport options. No science lab and most classes are quite large. Not much in terms of college-prep (researching colleges/scholarships) or classes for the advanced student.

I have been involved with this school for close to 20 years now. I attended CCS from Kindergarten to 12th grade and was the second graduating class ever. After reading some of these other reviews I was disappointed to see so many negative comments. This school has come a long way since I was attending.
... Read more These teachers AND our new administrator have worked hard to see that happen. John has taken on a huge roll and has great visions for the growth and well being of the students, faculty, and school in general. Even after teaching here for 3 yrs and attending the school for 13yrs, I would highly reccomend this school to anyone. I will not be back next year, but this school has and always will hold a special place in my heart and I will say nothing but positive words towards it. Thanks CCS for all you've done! Read less

After almost a decade of having children attend CCS, our very involved family is now looking for an alternative. Two years ago, a new principal was hired, and much to our dismay, he is not an effective leader. Under his leadership, class size has grown to unacceptable levels (30+ children) , curriculum
... Read more changes have been made without review, ineffective newly-hired teachers have had their contracts renewed, and elective-type classes, like art, are not offered as often because of increased class sizes. Although it is the goal of the principal to grow the school, the quality of education is severely suffering. Most importantly, however, is the fact that the new principal is unapproachable, lacks people skills, and often will not give straight-forward answers. Two years ago, our family would have recommended the school to everyone! We loved it! Now, however, we find ourselves leaving at the end of this school year. Sad. Read less

We transferred here less than a year ago because we heard such great things about the curriculum. The school is one of the few Christian schools that offers AP classes, but it lacks in leadership and effective moral guidance for the elementary levels. Our son, is now no farther ahead this year than he
... Read more was in the previous grade at a different school. Both kids complain of the chaos at recess. And forget any type of communication - we couldn't tell you how many times we found out about school events and opportunities at the 11th hour. The only way we knew our daughter was in a special competition was because the school billed us for it. We have tried to discuss the issues with the principal and while there is an open door policy there are no ears on the other side. A school board is much needed. Hugely disappointing. Read less
