Have had a great experience with CMS. Great communication, caring staff and administration, ample extra-curricular opportunity.

Majority of students here have a lack of drive and are not interested in learning. The staff and teachers do nothing to motivate students. There are a handful of really fantastic teachers but other than that it’s slim pickings. The counseling department as a whole Is utterly incompetent and overall horrible. As someone who came from a much nicer school district, this school is functioning behind grade level in all areas. The kids here are so behind developmentally and academically it’s actually quite baffling. There is really poor control over students. I see or hear of people fighting and doing substances on the daily. No serious actions are ever taken against students (expulsion) due to the lack of other schooling options. There is also a huge issue with favoritism in not only classroom environments but also in sports. If your family has money invested into the school or you and your family are “popular” staff show immediate favoritism. Favorite students also get away with virtually anything and negative actions taken by them are brushed under the rug constantly. I recommend quite literally any other school in the area.

My son has gone here for kindergarten and 1st grade and we have had nothing but great experiences. The principal, teachers, staff, etc. all care about the students so much. There's a lot of community involvement and opportunities to partake in school activities.

This is my daughters first year at this school and she loves it shes emproving alot since last year she even attends the after school program she will defiantly be attending here next year
