Chattanooga High Center for Creative Arts

I attended CCA from 2002-2006, It was a great school, but during my senior year they would not cooperate with the senior body. but other than that it is a good school and would most likely send my daughter to that school.

CCA is a school of over acheivers. There, of course, are a few who find the work load a little to rigorous but for those who enjoy a challenge along with being further educated in the arts, CCA is the school for you. I am now a senior at CCA and although it is extremely stressful, it will be worth it. Due to the fact that CCA is one of the top school not only in our surrounding areas but also the state, having that name on my transcript will be an acheivment no one can overlook. The teachers are excellent. To tell the truth their a breath of fresh air. Every teacher you'll encounter at CCA has not only the willingness to help you suceed but the determination to see you through all your years at CCA. I love them all and will miss them greatly.

I attended CCA from 2004-2008, grade 9 to grade 12. I can honestly say they were four of the most amazing years of my life. Not only was it a school where it was safe to be open about every part of who I was, but also a place I could grow and be pushed to improve myself, not only by the strong arts programs but also by the equally strong academics. Some may say the academics are not where they need to be, but as someone who is one year from finishing college and has taken plenty of courses in natural science, math, foreign language and may other academic fields, I was very prepared and I have the grades to show it. The school has a strong identity of what it is. There is an excellent community of students who care for one another. Violence was an incredibly rare occurrence in my days there. The teachers are actively involved in students lives and since the school is so small, teachers are able to get to know their students individually. No school is perfect and CCA is no exception, but if you are a student who has a passion for the arts and wants a school with caring teachers and a student body who are much better at accepting differences than the average teens, CCA is the place.

CCA is a shcool of exceptance, where the students all look out for each other and treat each other like family. If someone needs help, others are sure to be their. I abslutly love CCA- it is the best school I've ever attended- any student their will tell you the smae exact thing!

This school is amazing. There are very few fights if any and both the academic and creative classes help you grow as a person and what ever your major is. It would recommend this school to anyone with the vigor to work hard and strive from the best.

Center for Creative arts is a school with both rigorous academic and artistic courses. I started attending late in my high school career, but that did not stop the other students from embracing me. As a junior, I was able to take 4 AP classes, all taught at national Advanced Placement standards. My other classes were almost just as difficult, if not on almost the same level. And, my arts classes... They provided the nurturing I needed in order to grow individually as an artist and as a person. To put it simply, CCA is an amazing place, full of caring teachers and accepting students.

This school is the best thing that ever happened to me. I have finally found a safe, accepting, and nurturing environment in which to perfect my art. It is true that there are no sports but are also no fights, gangs, or other various problems that hinder education elsewhere. This school is not for the close-minded

this school is ok but if you are someone who is not artistic it is a akward atmosphere. I have been there for 3 years and i want to move on to another school. I dont like that you dont get to change schools it kind of gets old. But dont get me wrong if you are artistic then this is a perfect school for you.

I attended cca this past school year as a ninth grader, and it was definitely the wrong place for me. I am and always have been a straight-a student, and the idea that cca's academics are rigorous is simply not true. Not only was i able to maintain straight as with little to no effort, in the second 9 weeks i earned straight 100s. The writing program was abysmal, but that could change because a new teacher will be taking over that department in the fall. My german class was absolutely excellent, but sadly german will no longer be offered at cca after next year. The school puts far too much emphasis on its arts and not nearly enough on academics. If you are an academic achiever, you will not be happy here!
