This is one of the most awesome schools. The teachers really strive to teach the children all that they need to know for the future grades and the grade that they are in as well. Could not ask for better parental involvement, and staff. It is like a family in side of the school, where everyone is really nice, and has good attitudes, and strive to get involved in activities and sports, and everyone pretty much knows everyone. I am so thankful the we have this school and the staff, could pass for a private type school in my opinion.

This is a wonderful school, they have some of the most awesome teachers. My child just started here this year, and is the happiest child and loves school. He cannot wait till the next day to go to school. The teacher's are concerned about his education and are willing to go the extra effort to help him. Just wanted to voice my opinion, for whatever it's worth. CMS keep up the great work. Submittted by Kelly Webb, a parent

This is a great school! The teachers are caring, and they are interested in every child's education. They provide many extracurricular activities. They also promote self-confidence. I have attended this school for three years now, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it.
