I am a previous parent of two at CCS. My children thrived in the early grades, and we loved the school. As we got into the higher grades, the teachers were unwilling to help with bullying problems, and strong cilques began to form. Too bad for those that do not quite fit in. We had multiple meetings

The school really needs to look at adopting some strong anti-bullying programs, and the teachers need to take a look at how they contribute to the problems. The early grades are wonderful in this school, but I would not recommend this school unless they take a look at the problems and make some serious changes. We are heartbroken over what happened to our family at this school. Read less

Had multiple meetings that did little to curb the problems. I feel that both my children have rec'd a good education but I think they have done so at a price. Better supervision and follow thru and communication would make this a better school. Read less

Corpus Christi is a great school! I ve known this for a very long time. From the moment that I stepped foot in the building for a Kindergarten open house and was asked to pray for my child and for guidance in helping me decide what school would be best for her and for our family, I knew that I was

Students consistently score well above average on annual standardized tests; the teachers are amazing and the curriculum challenging. Equally important to me, however, is the spiritual development of my children. I am thrilled that they can attend a school that reinforces the beliefs/values that we teach at home, where the Pledge of Allegiance is celebrated and that is rich in Catholic tradition. I can t imagine my children anywhere else. Read less
