This school's interpreter Gemma Gomez Pallares publicly threatens to call ICE on people for immigration status. She's an immigrant herself, and works with immigrant children. She's a safety threat to the students and families at this school.

We were highly disappointed with this school. To start, this school has no PTO and no parent-teacher conferences!! What kind of school has no way for parental involvement built into it?! My son was high performing and instead of building in ways for him to keep being challenged the only solution was to stick him in front of the iPad half the day. We need to do better than this. Scaffold education and provide higher performing students with activities OFF of the ipads. Other countless complaints were television during lunchtime, candy being given out almost every day, an extensive reward/discipline system that makes the children completely desire extrinsic motivators, crossing guards looking at their phones during dismissal, I could go on. Of course, there are really caring adults and educators in the school, but something is just not right and not working.

I was a student of CHS and the administration is absolutely horrible, I honestly wish florida wasn’t a 2 party consent state so i could have recorded the things admin as well as teachers were saying about not only each other but other students.And do not expect to get anything done with the counselors they are also extremely unprofessional and they do not care about you or your student they care about having the most relaxed day they can. I have also been told by multiple teachers and staff that the counselors like to talk a lot of trash about the students that actually like to make the counselors do there job instead of dragging a 5 minute conversation through 3 weeks of emails.WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IF YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
