Have had a TERRIBLE experience at this school. Bullying behavior is truly out of control. Student culture is really sad.

I am the parent of an excellent student at CCHS. I recently reviewed the data on where this year’s graduating seniors will be attending college, and I noticed that only a couple of students are going to Top schools. For a high school of this size (more than 3700 students) , that is not acceptable. The data from previous years shows the same pattern.This has also been my experience with my own child. It seems that the school is not interested in investing in the success of its highest-performing students, nor is it truly partnering with their parents. Instead, the school appears to follow more of a “no student left behind” philosophy.My suggestion to the principal would be to personally ensure that the top students are paired with the strongest teachers. Teachers should also be evaluated, in part, based on their success in preparing students for admission to top colleges.My child is enrolled in all AP and honors classes, yet he still has some mediocre teachers—some who do not teach effectively and others who are frequently absent during the school year. This is not the level of instruction that high-achieving students deserve.The principal should also meet with the parents of these top students and involve us more in supporting their academic success.

My son was sent here as part of the 2e program. Now we struggle to get transportation, he knows less every day and spends all day drawing pictures and making crafts. Sure they can talk the talk and wowed us with the walk through and all that Jazz but when it came time to do school they fell flat on their face. I have never seen such a bumbling group of fools such as the ones who run our education system.
