My child has an IEP meaning special education, learning disability he was bullied, and the assistant principal, and the principal decided to believe the bullies over my child. I don’t feel my child was supported. I have talked to other parents who their children are not IEP or special ed and they’re pulling their children from the school due to lack of help for their child and their child was a straight day student, but was being bullied.

I loved my 4 years at CHS! The teachers are great, they really do care about the students! The principal and VP are amazing and care for the well being of not only the students but also the parents and teachers! The school is full of Warrior Spirit! My best memories at CHS were representing carp high on sports teams! Warrior Spirit Never Dies!!

This school is just beautiful. Its been over 10 years since I went here but it really shaped me as a person. Even after leaving for middle school, I came back and volunteered until all the teachers who had taught me had left. The teachers really care about the students. They accommodated the needs of students very well, and they formed connections with students that still have an impact on me until this day. I wish I could experience those days again. This school provided such a good stepping stone into academics, even when their resources were spread thin, they tried to help each student get what they needed. Afterschool programs were amazing too. I remember my favorite program was shut down due to funding issues, but they still provided afterschool care if it was needed. I have vivid memories of sitting in the library well after school was done, and the librarian (and lunch lady) cut me up an apple and sat down with me. The staff really care about their students. The community is great too. Friendships I made in elementary school are still going strong to this day. I believe I am the person I am today partly because of Summerland School. It was a godsend!!!!
