I have three children at CPA and while there are normal challenges, we are so thankful about the opportunity to attend. The teachers care, the bullying is at a minimum, and they meet children where they are at to help them grow even through periods of struggle.

My experience with this school has been a great one. The academics are challenging to the point where I know my child will be beyond prepared for college and career opportunities. Administration does an amazing job making sure families are always kept aware and up to date with what is happening in the building as well as what is happening in the district. I never feel like something is happening that Im not aware of and that makes me good as a parent. I highly commend the leadership and staff at the school and encourage anyone interested to really consider this school for their child (only if they are truly ready for the rigor and time it takes to focus on the level of work).
