all my children have attended cces and i love the school except for the school year of 2011-2012. The changes the new principal made has made the school very differrent and not as friendly. But i do love the rest of the staff and teacher at cces. They are amazing.

The teachers at the school are great. They are ready to answer any questions and ready to help. The academic level is pretty high. There is a variety of afterschool programs - arts, sports, etc. They also provide after school daycare. The parents of teh kids are very much involved in a daily life of teh school in different ways.
