I have three students that have attended or are attending CHS. One in college, one is a junior, and a freshman. My children range in abilities, strengths, and needs from type A valedictorian, autism, and ADHD. One of my children is on a 504 for accommodations. Even with these range of needs, CHS has done a great job at reaching each one of my kids and helping them grow and learn and challenging them. The staff care about these kids and do everything they can do help them succeed. I am glad my students attendee CHS and am excited for my daughter to attend in a few years.

I moved to this district over 2 years ago from a very large one in Central Florida, my son was in 2nd grade and my other son was starting K. I have been very impressed with the quality of education my boys have had here at this school. My boys are now in 4th and 2nd grades, and I haven't had one complaint (other than parking issues). Maybe it's the small town vibe, but I love that my kids are known by their names by the office staff and even the principle. In Florida schools they are so many kids in one school unless your kids are the trouble makers none of the staff take the time to get to know the kids, it's all about the tests. Here it may be about the tests too, but I feel the kids get a better all-around quality education, with recess and field trips, things that our old district got rid of to be able to pass those FCAT's. Parents are very active and everyone takes pride in the fact that they are part of the Four Georgians Community!

This school works hard to allow all students an opportunity to learn. The teachers and staff are supportive of children and are welcoming to all parents. Education in today's world is demanding and the school faculty works together to provide a variety of learning opportunities to engage a variety of learners. CR is the largest Middle school in the state and with that comes challenges that the students and staff overcome every day. It is a good place to be.
