Read more the humanities classes (as compared to 5 levels in math, and 3 in science) but the teachers are all so consumed with being politically correct they don't actually spend any time on their subject. Also the school could definitely use some integration and outside influences--I moved from a city and the most noticeable thing upopn arriving here was the total absence of diversity and originality among the student body.

I'm a Junior at CC. I have to say that it's a good school academic wise- but we need a lot more integration here. There are too many sheltered kids and a lot of close-minded people.

The athletic programs and extracurricular activities are as exceptional as the academic programs. Our son is a cross country and track runner and plays in the concert band and orchestra.
