The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.
I really enjoyed this school socially speaking, because of the large student body, there was a group of friends for every student to join and eat with during lunch or break. The education quality was also not too shabby, to say the least. My only gripe with this school was the bullying I experienced throughout.
CDM is a great school for high achievers but misses the mark when it comes to children with learning disabilities. Some of the very teachers (RSP) who specialize in helping the children actually create more disadvantaged students. There are some teachers that shouldn't be allowed to teach children with disabilities because they either don't know how or don't care. Also, when a child with learning issues is put into the general population the teachers seem to be unaware unless the parent contacts every teacher and is constantly reminding them of the situation. The social culture at CDM is also very cruel to teenagers who don't fit the mold. I think the school needs to address the bullying and harassment more. Too many rich and popular kids get away with heinous behavior at the expense of others and it needs to stop.
The social environment at CdM is frightening and this has been demonstrated by several different events over the last two years. Sex education is severely lacking, and the community there (including the PTA) does not support or even protect students.
Because the teachers, coaches and all staff are really into the students, their education and want to make it is fun as posible while still learning!
