Completely neglectful of students with learning disabilities.

The benefit of this school is there aren't as many lax families so there is a certain safety to going to middle years in a college bound family crowd. However, the gifted program here is very poor, my student wasn't challenged once and got A's sleeping. The teachers stay confined to a well defined box so they have no creativity or personality in the classroom which doesn't make for spontaneous pathways in learning while still hitting your learning standards. Very little meaningful relationships between kids and teachers and one science teacher who flat our says inappropriate things to females in front of entire classes who I cannot believe hasn't been reported. Special areas are beyond pathetic, my kid was beat on in PE, art may as well be for nursery school, the music teacher is insane, walks out of the room and leaves kids unattended and kids in charge, and most of his kids are taught at Cuchetti and he throws one or two mad performances together and everyone thinks he is some great educator. We lasted a half day in his camp and my kid called and said come get me he is out of his mind. This is a fluff over stuff school academically, but not as degenerate as other VCS middle schools. We went to another in NSB for the first 2 kids and the education was FAR superior. But I knew my other 2 could rise above the crowd so you have to ask yourself that and decide if you want to attend CMS and supplement real education to compensate for the low standards and dull uninspired teaching (they sit back bc the kids come from good families, and take credit for what they get at home); or, if you want passion and challenge in a less polished environment. Lousy set of choices in my opinion! Glad I am graduating my last one in a month - waited a long time to say it all!

Best elementary school in Port Orange ! Teachers and staff are amazing as well as the parents! They truly care
