Very little APs are offered, there are almost no advanced classes of any kind, and only ~20-30 out of the 550 students have averages above 90.

I am fortunate my son has the opportunity to be part of a such a wonderful school. The faculty is supportive and available to the students and parents at all times. They provide an amazing array of resources for students to improve and progress academically. I am confident that CSIHS has helped my child establish a strong foundation on which he will build on in college. As a parent, I am informed on the happenings at school as well as my childs progress. In fact, I am encouraged and welcome to take an active role in CSIHS. The student body is comprised of young men and women who work hard and enjoy participating in various school activities. I cannot wait for my youngest to attend and he's only 8! This school is definitely the best choice for any prospective high schooler.

This school is terrific. This school has helped me out so much with college, so far. This school has so many opportunities, and just as long as students can seize these opportunities when they arise, they will not regret it. Thank you CSIHSIS for giving me an amazing group of friends for life, and an amazing education!

As an alumni of the school, and a member of the first graduating class, I can honestly say this school is awesome.

I wish all my children could have gone to CSIHSIS. My youngest child attends CSIHSIS and I have to say this is one of the best schools I have had the pleasure to be a part of. The teachers and staff are always helpful and courteous. I am always informed about any events. The PTA keeps me constantly updated on all information pertaining to CSIHSIS as well as sponsorships, scholarships and volunteer services. CSIHSIS really want their children to succeed, not only do they offer tutoring during the school week, but also Saturday and Sunday prep for Regents. All I can say is thank you CSIHSIS.

My son is a CTT student and the xtra help he gets from advisory plus after sschool tutoring has helped. Wouldn't get this attention in bigger schools. He can't hide must be accounted for.
