CB School is "abundantly blessed" in many ways! With technology tools for every student and a variety of MOBILE LABS, smartboards,activeboards, ipads, netbooks, etc., My child was greeted daily by name, as we arrived in the car rider lane. Beautiful smiles from teachers that at one time, also attended and native to the island itself.Those most pleasant staff!

As a teacher of 20 years I can only say that I’ve never in my life seen a school run so poorly after Mr. Sutton left. Fights, non certified “educators”, drugs, sexual promiscuity, and no accountability.

After a recent meeting at the school, I was very impressed with the teacher's reports regarding my student. The teacher's comments about my student were written in a positive way and focused on strengths and areas where he needs more support. My student was present at the meeting and he was treated with the utmost respect. They were complimentary and this was encouraging. My impression is that each teacher/staff member at the table was interested in hearing his voice and in his well-being. I felt completely welcomed and respected. Without mentioning names, there were a few comments indicating that some students in attendance in his classses are disruptive and/or disrespectful. It was also noted how much good behavior exhibited by my student was appreciated and I like that positive reinforcement. My student has reported to me that students are vaping at school, sometimes in the classroom! This does concern me greatly, and another student has also told me that this is a fairly common occurrence. I am not understanding how this happens on the regular, but I am not a teacher there, so I have no idea what they deal with. I only say that I have had someone vape in my office and I immediately became aware of it due to the smell. The only other negative comment I could make would be that I am not understanding why there are test days where some students are not being tested and they have to sit in the cafeteria all day. This seems very difficult and unhealthy and I wish that there could be some planned activities provided for the students or to allow the students not testing to have excused absences. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience with the school and my student is doing better and better, and for me that is the most important thing. NOTE: My student does not get very excited about his classes/learning, but did show a little this year.
