Excellent principal who respects students and prepares them for high school. Many caring teachers who go the extra mile to help students of all levels.
CKMS is definitely the most quality middle school in the SVSD. Principal is responsive and tough but kind. My biggest issue has to do with the fact that they have little to no opportunities for students who excel. The "hi-c" program has been abandoned in the humanities with teachers insisting that they are capable of managing blended classrooms. The reality is that students who should have more expected of them are zoning out. The math there is not up to par with neighboring districts where students leave 8th grade prepared to take geometry in 9th. At ckms (and the svsd in general) taking algebra 1 in 8th is considered "highly capable" while in neighboring districts students on a "highly capable" track are taking geometry in 8th grade. The district needs to respond better to children who are excelling and have more to offer them otherwise they will continue to seek better education out of district. Of course when they get done with middle school they are stuck with Mt. Si....
CKMS is an inclusive, welcoming community that nurtures and inspires kids to be inquisitive and creative - and strive to do their best!! Three sons have attended - and I am grateful they had this opportunity!!
My teacher recommendations go to : Mrs. Vanderwood - 8th grade Humanities and Language Arts. Mrs. Treadwell - 7th grade Language Arts, Drama, and Humanities. Mr.Fowler - 6th grade Math, Science, Humanities and Reading.
