Privacy policies are not followed and the office gossip is horrible. Some parents have the headset that this school is exclusive,. its not. Charters are public schools and required to comply with the California Department of Education. All students and parents have rights. We teach our children to stand up for what is right and we are their example in life. You don t have to be a powerless bystander and you don t have to leave. Take a stand, make a call, you can make a positive difference. Be inspired, there are a few true hearted good people at this school. Be the change you want to see, in turn you will inspire others :)

This school is for the "mainstream" student. If the child has or needs an IEP, the school will not step up to support the special needs. We were told "we don't have the resorces to help your child". This was a very stressful experience for us as parents and our child. There is also a "gossip" problem at this school starting with the office. Since all parents are here on a regular basis, gossip is communicated openly to other parents. We heard from two other parents that were in our childs classroom. After we left this school, the teacher or school would not respond to our written letters and emails. The class sizes are not what we expected, the same size and larger in most instances.

Disappointed in the leadership of this school. The turnover of principals and teachers is appalling. This school was built on the concept of parental involvement, but that stops at the volunteer door. The school board is overrun with clique type relationships and does not listen to the parents suggestions at all. The students are behind in curriculum. Other local schools are seeing an influx of CCCS students and noting how behind they are. I agree that this ship is sinking fast. We are leaving just like many other families this year.

This school is a sinking ship that is soon to go under. Since they have gone independent of the school district they have been through 3 principals and multiple teachers. The commitment is just not there by teachers or parents and the test scores just keep dropping every year. The school board is made up of 4 parents, 1 teacher and the principal and they are in control of everything from finance to HR. There is a serious lack of professionalism in handling teacher discipline and parent issues. The financial state of the school is so bad they have overdue bills (facts from board meeting minutes) no money in savings and have began dipping into the fundraising account (also facts from board meeting minutes) which is money that was raised by parents and designated for field trips and other fun school activities. As great as this school once was it is no longer. The middle school electives are pathetic and the school often has difficulty even getting the classroom computers online although the charter is written as "21st Century Learners." Sadly, I believe the governance of this school will be its demise in the near future.

In our first year at CCCS last year both of my children increased their performance on the star testing by a full level. The best part for me is their increased self confidence and the joy they take in learning. I believe this is because CCCS teaches the whole person. We do have a family atmosphere. They teach the kids how and why along with the what so that the connections form a strong foundation for them to build on. I've had three other families, new to CCCS this year tell me their children experienced the same huge increase in learning. This school is awesome!

Disappointing mob-rule actions taken by the teachers and some parents have torn this school apart. It once had a highly regarded 'family atmosphere'. I am teaching my child to stand up to the bully. These adults are setting a poor example.

It has the best teachers who give 110% to their students and parents who care enough to put in the time


Posted November 23, 2009

I found the school taught towards the end of year testing for high scores. Staff members were not the friendliest people. The elective classes and field trips were great. Great small campus and very safe.

CCCS is a terrific school with wonderful parents and students. There is nothing else like it around here. Our children have been given a wonderful education that has taught them both academic and life skills. I think that there are a lot of school out there that could learn a lot from us. Parents being so involved is a plus because it allows teachers to teach and parents to make sure that all the other stuff is taken care of! We try to make sure that we offer all the arts and great opportunity for all students.

Our children have attended this school for many years. Each year more innovative programs are added, such as music, bringing live animals to campus, lap tops, hands on science instruction, drama class, alternative energy electives.... There is no lack of programs at this public school, especially important when other public schools are financially struggling to keep their extracurricular programs.

The amount of attention each and every child is given is top shelf. Parents are very envolved and you can tell the children there really love that. Its test scores are always in the high 90th percentile in the state. Its growth over the last ten years has been constant without the governing board overreaching or over extending itself. The feeling of joy around the campus is palpable....Great Schoo!

This school is motivated to serve all children, innovative with its required parental participation and has an established record of high test scores. With parental involvement, success is inevitable. The school is part of school district yet as a charter is allowed more flexibility and sensibility in how it chooses to spend its precious resources. The school has smaller class sizes and operates almost as a large extended family (with some issues as all families have). There is a waiting list to be admitted. Staff is exceptional. Highly recommended.

This school is run by parents, great concept--doesnt work. Staff is unwilling or unable to discipline certain children of board members or prominent parents. This school's reputation of snobbery is, unfortunately, not unfounded. Also, dont be fooled by the test scores. The school's strict requirements for parent volunteers only during normal word day hours, makes it impossible for most 'average' students to attend. Special Ed students are made to transport out to other schools for part of the day, putting the burden of transportation on, you guessed it, the parent. No special Ed child or child with only 1 parent or a child where both parents work during the day can easily attend this 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.
