Challenge School

I am so blessed to have found this school for my children! We were paying private school tuition until we found out there was a public school doing better work for kids than our private school was - and without all of the silly politics you find at private schools. We are grateful to the outstanding principal and staff for such a wonderful school for our children.

I am an eighth grader at Challenge, and this is my ninth year. I have loved every second at this school! The atmosphere is great, the students are excellent, well-rounded people (contrary to some inaccurate allegations, incidents of self harm and bullying are almost nonexistent, even among the older kids), the teachers are intelligent and caring, and the academics are challenging and fun. The courseload and homework are manageable and simulating. The Challenge school environment is unforgettable, and i would recommend it for anyone who likes to learn.

I have three children at Challenge. My kids are well adjusted and LOVE school. The teachers are not too demanding and with my experiences they are more than willing to work with students and parents. All of my kids have attended other elementary schools in the district and all of them continually say that Challenge is the best school they have been to. I have watched Race to Nowhere and Waiting for Superman and I have not seen anything like that in my experience at this school. What I have seen is bright, kind and well adjusted kids that for the most part love school and learning. I can't say enough great things about this school!

An incredible learning environment for the academically motivated child! The faculty quickly learned each of my 3 children's learning styles and 'challenged' them to succeed. I love that they are graded on the whole child, and that their self esteem is bolstered in every way. The principal is amazing, as she began her Challenge School career as one of the first teachers. I sleep well at night knowing that my children are getting everything they need during the 7 hours they are away from home!!

We have an 8th grader at CS. We have loved it from day one. From the nurturing environment to the excellent curriuclum, we have but raves for this school. Yes, sports activities are sadly absent, but I would enroll my other children any day at CS.

I am a 7th grader and I have gone to this school since kindergarden, I must say that I love it. All of the teachers are incredible and my fellow students are kind courteous. Sadly, there are no extra-curricular sports activities.

This is a great school! I am a 7th grader and I've gone here since 2nd grade. I am ahead in all of my classes and this school has helped me so much throughout the years. Most students don't enjoy our school because it's not like a normal middle school but socially it's not bad. Going to high school will be a big change but it's worth it because the school is just wonderful.
