The CMS teachersand staff whom we've encountered are enthusiastic, knowledgeable, genuinely care about the students and seem to enjoy what they do. The level of communication between school and home is so helpful, emails when there have been issues or missed assignments. I have nothing but good things to say about this school.
My child transitioned easily to this school. Would have liked to see more project based learning and more integration of technology. Staff needs to have more training in this area.
Poor quality school system. A considerable portion of the teachers there can't teach. They view physical education as a priority and consider actual education to be a secondary goal. Their recent extension, costing thousands of tax payer dollars, solely housed the new gymnasium(as if devoting 1/4 of the school day to P.E. prior wasn't enough.) The students are horribly mean spirited, and in some growing cases consistantly mock those who wish to learn. The teachers hardly every intervien to stop this bullying(even when they are allowed to do so). A significant number of teachers actually discriminate on those who wish to learn, and instead focus their attentions on students who clearly have no interest in education. The only reason they boast their A+ grade averages on their website is because they radically inflate the grades from C's to A's. It is horrible school where only a modicum can prosper.
...this is one of the most incredible public schools i've had the pleasure of sending my son to. The teachers are truly on top of their game. They keep me posted of my son's status every step of the way...good, bad or indifferent. I love them!!
