This school is for those who are part of the elite. One student's parent told me to come there because I'd be given extra tutoring and extra classes to help me on the standerized tests and AP Exams. This school is great for those who are part of the elite. Those elite students are the ones that boost the school's high standerized test scores. The rest of the school don't receive much attention at all. Not only that, but the extra curriculars are lacking. There has to be something related to service and not just academic activities. CPSA also fails to give a realistic environment of the real world. They emphasize math and science, and becoming a doctor like that is the only profession that one can go in. If you are more interested in English and History, get out of there. CPSA doesn't care about the average student much.
The golden years of CPSA have passed. The original staff Dr. Nafe PhD, Dr Parvez PhD, and Mr. Iftikhar MS that built the school under the founder Dr. Saleem are nearing the end of their tenure at CPSA. These individuals dedicated their lives to provide quality education to our teenage youth. The new staff that are coming in are far less productive, but it's not their fault. The problem is that CPSA has been increasing the class sizes to 35+ for the last several years (in the elementary grades). But now those elementary children have reached middle and early high-school. Can you imagine having 37 students in a single classroom with one teacher??? How can they teach that many kids in one class? The answer: They Can't! The teachers are frustrated and the quality of education has dropped considerably. The problem has now reached middle school as well as 9th grade.
CPSA was a great experience. Socially, the friends I made there are the best friends I've ever had. Cpsa gives the opportunity to develop relationships with your peers that public schools (which I also attended) could never offer. Although there are no music and art programs available, there is some focus on sports and and academia after class. Most students are involved in the Debate Team, Decathlon Team, WISE Team, peer tutoring, SAT classes, ACT classes, and long after school study sessions with the teachers themselves. I have never met more dedicated teachers in my life. The teachers stay extra hours to help the students. The results are astounding; show me one school that offers higher testscore averages, percentage of students in tops schools, and high moral values all in one. CPSA is a winner.
CPSA has the best educational program in its area and is totally cool and fun, having gone there myself! CPSA is the best!
