We have had a wonderful experience at CWA over the past 6 years both in the Lower School and Beginning School divisions. Both divisions have leadership and teachers that amazing. Our children are prepared both socially and academically for their journeys ahead. This school has been a wonderful choic
Posted by a parent on 4/2/2026This schools has a culture problem. The culture problem is not from the current or recent Heads of School who left in frustration, but because of the history of the school, the money that talks louder than ethical treatment of children and employees, and the way they look to blame someone instead of
Posted by a community member on 1/17/2026After a tough four years under the previous Head of School, CWA is once again a caring and supportive community under Head of School Rachel Rippl. Students are challenged academically and achieve impressive college admissions. Faculty are extremely dynamic and dedicated, and seem to enjoy working at
Posted by a community member on 12/31/2025This school and their teachers are not equipped to handle children with disabilities, specifically ADHD. The school has made it very clear that they want a certain type of child that fits into their box of acceptable. Neodivevrgent children do not fit into this accepted group.
Posted by a parent on 12/3/2025There have been many changes this year which were unnecessary. All the leadership changes and different agendas they are pushing really makes it an unenjoyable experience. My child used to feel happy and accepted going to this school. This year is different. If things continue down this route I will

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSend your child here if you are ok with them being assaulted by another child and them doing the bare minimum to correct the situation and they won't call you either. Your child will come home and tell you about being stabbed in the arm by another child and all they did was send him to the nurse. Also they will just move the child from the table instead of having that child sent home for their behavior. I WILL BE REMOVING MY CHILD FROM THIS SCHOOL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.Parent Review6mo ago - Oakbrook Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a former student, it is a great school, just a few complaints.1. Many of the staff seem to have a condescending attitude towards students who did nothing2. The new counselor seems to halfheartedly address issues such as bullying, and has even laughed at bullying reports.Other than those two problems, this is a great school to go to.Other Review2y ago - Evergreen Primary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a fantastic school! The school is lead with kindness and respect, and it shows in all aspects! The entire staff, from the office to the pick up/drop off staff to teachers and librarians, everyone is warm and welcoming, and encouraging to all the students. They tell them how glad they are to have them there today. They encourage the students, kindness and respect! The PTA is very active, organizing amazing inclusive events. The community engagement is second to none. Evergreen truly does build a community around their school. From parents, to teachers and administrators. We are so glad our little one attends the school!Parent Review1y ago - Sunset Primary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI attended HCS as a student from Kindergarten to 5th grade. Let's just say when I entered Drum in 6th grade I was above and beyond in all areas of academics. If you want a real school that isn't the normal hum drum lamentations of public school and actually cares about a strong curriculum, small class sizes, and family engagement in a faith based setting raising strong, critically thinking little humans; there is no better option in the UP area than HCS.Other Review2y ago
