The communication between the administration and parents is poor, and many parents are very dissatisfied with the current situation but feel stuck until they apply for 5th or 6th grade. The dwindling enrollment in the upper grades (beginning in 4th grade) is of great concern, yet the school doesn't seem to focus on student nor teacher retention.

My daughter has thrived at CHA. The teachers there are committed and caring, while raising academic standards beyond my wildest dreams.
