I graduated from this high school just after the Covid epidemic. The school enviroment provided a lot of opportunity and an diverse set of classes. Ideally, the school was meant to set you up for college. However, the biggest downside was the counseling, which was always hard to work with or even get an appointment to. They should have also encouraged more hands on experience for how to apply to colleges or financial aide in the futute. Otherwise, the teachers were all quite supportive, and student engagement with clubs were incredibly high.

Excellent school with caring, passionate, and experienced staff/administration. The schools location is in a beautiful setting in a forested area. So happy to have my children attend school here. Best school on the Ridge!

The scenery is the best value of the premise. That's the good news but another reason why you're reading this is to hear my criticism about this school. There are two issues, one as being of social status. The school barely had any clubs for the students to attend. I know what you're thinking, its a small community and school it's supposed to not be much. But don't the small ones get to have many clubs and activities as well? Another being of the students itself. I know, you don't need a lot of friends to have an enjoyable experience in school and I enjoyed and appreciated the friends I had but since I'm lack of social skills due to my high-functioning autism, keeping it cool with others wasn't easy. I got a lot of unwanted attention from my other little known peers due to my ticks. If any of you people who have been living under a rock, let me tell you a little about autism. The Autism spectrum disorder(different ability as I like to call it) is a "disorder" of not communicating well to others or performing actions that are not socially acceptable. Now that autism thing is out of the way, I shall proceed. I wasn't the guy that people found interesting to communicate to, in fact I was pretty much the opposite by being pushed aside out of big opportunities that could of been vital, or maybe I'm exaggerating. I wish I could tell you more about my experience but I gotta rest my cranium for the day, signing off.

I am an educator at CCCS and have been their for ten years now. It is my favorite place in the world to be each day.
