Great school. I have 2 children who attend this amazing program and can't say enough about wonderful the teachers and parents are.

an outstanding school. parents and teachers partner to develop the whole child, with emphasis on good citizenship and character while still achieving the 2nd highest test scores in the district. it's run more like a village than a school, and families are involved and care about each other. it's a private school experience with a public education price tag.

I homeschooled my oldest child and when that did not work out for us I carefully sought out a school to foster both academic and character skills. I have been very blessed by having all three of my children there and we have had excellent teachers, activities, and community within the school setting. The overwhelming parent support is seen in the standing-room-only attendance of Back to School Night and the generosity at fundraisers. My oldest daughter is now in Junior High and we are so happy with the electives, the facilities, and the education she is receiving.

We just started Kindergarten here and we love it so far. I love the family feel of the school where everyone belongs. I believe that parent involvement is very important and this school does a great job all around because of that.

I love this school! Amazing teachers, amazing Principal, amazing support staff! Kids are the number one priority and the academic program is rigorous and at the same time, engaging. I am impressed by the implementation of the new Middle School. There are great things going on!

We were at CCDS for 6 years and were disappointed with many of the teachers and greatly disappointed with the new principal. The school has funding problems, being a charter school there is little money for facilities and the facilities are lacking. The quality of teachers was the most disappointing to us. It seems to be hit or miss with teachers ability to design and implement their own curriculum. The families are committed to their children and it is a nice community, however academically it is less than what we hoped for, wanted or needed.

The atmosphere at this school is one of community. All of the teachers and staff know the children by name. Everyone seems happy, safe and learning is fun!

Posted August 25, 2003

Based upon the guidelines of respect, responsibility and compassion, this school offers children a structured and safe environment that uses a unique but well-researched method of instruction called 'Integrated Thematic Instruction' (ITI) developed by Susan Kovalik. This form of instruction teaches in a manner that is well received and retained by the student as it focuses upon how the brain receives, processes and retains information. A great deal of social activities and interaction is conducted on a daily basis along with organized field trips throughout the year that again, help the brain process the information it is receiving. The school has undergone some changes of late, all of which are for the better. While the teacher population may not have the years of experience found in normal public schools, their enthusiasm, dedication and desire to be at CCDS makes their ability to instruct and lead far superior to that anywhere else. SAT-9 scores are not something I personally refer to as they are jaded by the 'traditional' school system. A lot of time is wasted preparing kids to take tests that do not clearly and accurately gauge the child's retention and levels of learning. So while this information is made available, I caution prospective families to take it with a grain of salt. The more important element is how well the children behave, how eager they are to be in a safe and respectful environment and that such an environment is offered and how the staff/faculty interacts with the children. This is why we selected CCDS and will remain with them until it is no longer possible as our children graduate into high school.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
