The Administration in this school is great. Every school has at least a bad apple and when it comes to teachers, this one is not an exception but overall, most teachers are great. Wish the district, in general, had a better plan of action for students with behavior challenges so that this would not affect all the other students.

I think if you are a ‘typical’ student you will do well here but if you are marginalized in any way whatsoever you will fall through the cracks and struggle. I have two students here and the amount of harassment verbal, sexual, physical, and even involving a gun is ridiculous. My girls were not believed by administrators and the one time action was taken it was short lived. Any time they have defended themselves however the school has been quick to threaten them with expulsion. I have brought up grievances against teachers that weren’t taken seriously and were blamed on ‘female histrionics’. I have been discouraged from attempting to get a 504 plan for one of my children who dearly needs it and she has been threatened in private by the vice principal even though I have been asked to be present numerous times. My younger children will not be attending here because I have no faith in the school to keep them safe or educate them properly.

Hands down the worst school in Rutherford country with the worst administration and staff. Adults name call children and deny it, the favoritism is out of control, the clique with the adults is like high school, they will punish children 3-4 times for one offense, they blanket punish without looking into cause or details, they punish students based solely on other students reports with no adult present, all staff do not follow 504 plans, I could go on for days. I watched my well behaved kids who made decent grades slowly digress into having low confidence, poor grades, and emotional turmoil at this school. The principal does not listen to parents concerns. There is no “community”, parents are not invited to any type of class participation, holiday parties etc. You can’t walk your child to class on the first day of school, overall the environment there definitely pushes parents out. I’d give less stars if I could. I’ve lived in Rutherford co my entire life and I’ve never had as poor of an experience as I have had at CHMS. Do not send your child here if you can avoid it, please do.
