Champagnat Catholic School Of Hialeah

This school is the worst school I have ever seen. The principal is rude and selfish. She doesn't care about the students' education, only about how much money she can make from them. All the owners are money hungry and don't care about education at all. The staff is horrible and not helpful whatsoever. Grades are rigged and teachers play favorites. To get any type of paperwork from the office, you need to show up several times because the office is not efficient and extremely rude. Everything about this school is unfair, if you would even want to call it a "school". Never send your child here, it will be the worst decision you will ever make. It's a total nightmare! I rated this school 1 star because it was the lowest value it would let me give, but it really deserves 0.

I had my children in CCS for 6 years until we moved to Broward. Both did great in the new school (public) they were in the same or better level. On their first year FCAT they scored 4. So I do highly recommend this school and love discipline!!

We have had a very positive experience at this school. My child is receiving an excellent education, far exceeding the state standards for language, math and science. The teachers are knowledgeable, committed, and most importantly - aware of the spiritual dimension that a child needs in order to learn and grow. The office staff knows every child by name and is very supportive and caring. I believe in the philosophy of education at this school and in the atmospher that has been created by the very dynamic, creative and spriritually aware principal.

This school is by far the worse school when it comes to education. I went there for many years, middle school through some high school years. It is more focused on discipline, and not even because they demand respect and give none. There is a lot of playing around. When I moved to a different school I realized on how many academic opportunities I had missed out on all 5 years. I would never put my daughter there.

Their is no way, that i can discribe this school, because its awsome and its like your own family, if you have a problem, everyone will always help you out, not only that the teachers teach, and you learn a lot of things you wouldn't have the opportunity to learn elsewhere.I have been in Champagnat ever since 3rd grade and i wouldn't live it for anything even after i graduate i'll make sure to come visit often.

Do not send your child here.... they are on the voucher system and will not provide your child with the education that the boast. In fact, it will be worse than a public school....

i am a former student at ccs. i attended ccs from kinder up until i graduated from highschool. now i wasnt the best student, didnt even try really, but the opportunities are there for the students to learn and grow as individuals but in order to do that one must assume responsibility for oneself.

this school is a joke. it in no way prepares kids for the real world. it just shelters them and trys to work religion into things like math and reading, this ofcourse makes no sense. save your money.

This school is affordable and exceedingly effective on focusing on each students individual needs. I couldnt be happier.
