Children not allowed to have textbooks, there is little direction in assignments and no consistancy in the curriculum. Each teacher devises their own coursework.

Teachers play favorites and certain kids are left behind

Students are not disciplined and a double standard exists. Two of my children have been assaulted and threatened during their time here. One student threatened to sexually assault my daughter and we were never notified by the school even though they were aware of it.

We have been with CCS since its inception in July 2007. Academics are rigorous and the Arts are a part of their students' daily life (which is quickly fading in our area schools). As a parent, I am most impressed by the students' age-appropriate social knowledge and conversation. Children are growing up too quickly these days, and it's a relief to know that there are still some parents that don't expose their children to adult subject matter too early.
