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.

Absolutely sucks had a friend who got pushed by a teacher this year and start yelling at the rest of my class without a reason and they do not care about self defense here or mental health and this school favorites people for sure if you're at lunch and you give your full attention to the staff all the other tables including the ones talking get released

I love the staff at this school, they are so sweet and helpful. It is rare to walk into a school and find that everyone is so great, but this is certainly one of them! The only complaint I have about it (and the reason I did not give it 5 stars) it needs a better Special Education program. My son has a minor learning delay, has been classified as special ed his entire time in the education system but the only program they had for him was to stick him in a class of severely disabled children. He was basically forgotten in the midst of the day-to-day chaos that would ensue (although, I absolutely loved his teachers because they communicated with me on a daily basis) and was not taught anything. He would also get scared by the way some of the severely disabled kids behaved. Otherwise, everyone in that school was/is fantastic. It is a shame to see some of these schools who have a staff that is there for all the right reasons not have the funding to offer what a minority of the kids need.
