I somewhat agree with the previous posting. Of the areas that need to be improved it would be the Enrichment Classes. Considering this is the focus for fundraising it is becoming increasingly difficult for parents to justify donating to programs that do not seem to be yielding results. As far as sports,

Here is what my impression of school is: 1) Excellent, studious kids that make the school special. It makes kids very competitive. 2) Accelerated Math program in middle school 3) Small class size 4) A lot of parents involvement Now some suggestions: 1) Enrichment classes are very average.
... Read more Kids cannot speak Chinese or Spanish, comfortably, after learning it for 8 years which is a shame. Too much of teacher turnover and no tangible goals set on what this program will achieve. 3) Curriculum is set randomly. For middle school science, there are no textbooks which is shocking. It is solely upto the teacher on what to teach. It makes program too much teacher dependent. No independent body oversees curriculum guidelines. 4) School has very average music/art and very little sports. 5) No science labs in middle school due to lack of funds. I still give the school a 5 ratings because overall the school is much better than CMS. Read less

This is the third year our children have been at this school and I cannot imagine a better place for them. I am forever amazed with what they can pull off with the limited funding available for charter schools. I credit Dr. Peine, the staff, and parents for working together to make this incredible
