I love this school my daughter has been attending this school since she was in 4th grade and she now attends the high school for applied tech. My only problem with the school is that because it is so culturally diverse the school should be celebrating this by teaching the children about different cultures and there contributions to our country.

I feel that CSAT is a great school. The uniforms, the longer school year and school day is a plus. I also appreciate that this school has a diverse student population which I don't see at a lot of schools in the Buffalo area. My children are in grade 1 and 5 and are excelling academically. I have access to the principaI, teachers and other staff at any time by email or telephone; and I receive a quick response. I am very satisfied with the choice I made to move my children from a public school to a charter school.

This is the largest and one of the most respected charter school in NYS. It consistenly outscores Buffalo Public Schools in state assessments and has had 100 percent graduation rate for the past two years. CSAT has defied expectations by taking inner-city students and proving they can be successful with the right guidance and education. No school is perfect, but should be defined by the standards they create for themselves and how they reach beyond those standards to create a safe, encouraging environment. Look at the overall picture of an educational institution, not the small insignificant aspects, and you will see that CSAT is a wonderful, positive asset to the community.

I think this school is very good. Although many things need to change.For an example, the gym floor, it should be hard wood like the high school.I know that there is budget cuts but still.And also I don't like the school clothes getting all sweaty, I think that the other kids, and me should be able to change.(well at least the older kids.)

this school has been so wonderful to all four of my children since they opened their doors.I made the mistake of taking my eldest out of this school and sending him to St. Joes last year. Though the school was a great academic school it can not touch csat constant smile and love for their students. You feel very welcome at all times.The school is there to educate them in a bright warm environment! They make great citizens for our community and help get them ready for the life ahead of them.

I am a proud parent and will recomend the school to anyone, so far 4 of my nephew's and neice's are currently attending the school and another starting in the fall. I beleive my husband and I made a great choice 7 years ago. Thanks

I have two children that attend CSAT - one in elementary school and one in the high school. I am so pleased with my children progress and the teacher's participation is great!

I find the last comment to be not true. if you are so unhappy with the school remove your child. No one is making your child stay. I find CSAT is a fantastic school, yes they care about dress code, rules & regulations, most of the kids needs some structure in their lives. I am so please with this school, it is the best decision we made for our child!

I am a student at CHSAT and i love every second that I attended there! I really enjoy all the teachers support that was offered to me at CHSAT. At first I didnt like the the new program of {Eligibility,and Eneligibily} list but...it helped me to raise my grade and also attain a greater prospect of the term 'responsibility'. Unfotunately my parents are moving to a differnt state and I will not be attending this school next year. But I will truly miss CHSAT for it's fun experiences and association! Thanks to all those who helped me get through the first two years of my high school experience.

I have been a student at this charter school sense my 6th grade year. I am now a senior, part of the schools first graduating class. I truly enjoyed being a student at CHSAT and don't really have any complaints about the school. I love the atmosphere the school provides as well as the enthusiasm of the teachers. Attending CSAT has truly helped me grow as a student and as person. It has given me many opportunities I don't believe I would have had other wise. To see what I mean and all the school stands for/ has to offer, vist it's website at csat-k12.org

My three fantastic kids have been in this charter school since it opened, back in the year 2001. They are all in high school now, and are all turning out to be interested students and interesting young adults. I love the dress code, and they don't seem to mind it. They get up early- at 6am to get the 7am bus to get there, and I never hear them complain. I know I made the right choice.

I have seen my son go from miserable 6th grader not wanting to go to school to a maturing 7th grader that enjoys getting up every morning to attend classes at CMSAT. He attended a private school since Kindergarten and has paid attention because he is not lagging behind at all at CMSAT. In fact he was tutoring another student in Math at the beginning of his new year here. His report card grades are great but most of all the comments are spectacular. He is well behaved and yet contributes to his teachers classes. These teachers are doing a wonderful job and deserve great comments also! Thank you for giving my child a chance to enjoy his Middle School years and beyond!

My son started Kindergarten this year and we are very happy with the high level of discipline. The color system works great. He is reading and has made many friends. The afterschool program by the Boys & Girls Club is wonderful, also! Thanks, CSAT!
