Our experience at CCS has been overall very good. They are extremely family oriented with lots of involvement and events to engage the community. The majority of the teachers are great, with a few who may not be assigned to the correct age group for their liking, which comes across in the way they interact with the students. Positive experiences far outweigh the negatives we have come across. I do think they could handle bullying, negative physical and social interactions better. Things seem to be handled better/more seriously at the middle school level.

Alumni with several friends kids in attendance- WHS can be a great school if you are an engaged student - lots of extracurriculars and AP programs. At the same time, they can absolutely let kids slip through the cracks who need academic counseling and study skill development. My experience was that the faculty cares most about safety and ensuring kids graduate. They put emphasis on top performers but as many other commenters have said, parents of average to below average students should not expect a lot assistance.

We've had a really good experience at MMS so far. They have an electronic monitoring system for passes, which helped in a safety/bullying situation we experienced. They handled things promptly and with care. The teachers have been amazing and supportive with a 504 plan as well.
