my step-son was there for four years. and we toke him out for the fact he couldn't even read. they did nothing to help him except ignore his learning issues. how could he have been getting As & Bs on his report card if he cant read.

As the other reviews stated: this school is wonderful! My son was a C & D student who didn't feel like he fit in at school and started to really act out. We enrolled him at CBA for the 08-09 school year and it has been a MAJOR turn around. His grades and self esteem have sky rocketed. He didn't even want summer to come!

CBA has transformed our student and the qualify of our homelife. If you have been hearing that your child just doesn't care, if your evenings are filled with worrying and fighting about homework getting done, and if the school battle has taken over the home relationship, we highly recommend this school. It has given our student what they wanted so badly,academic success with minimal oversight on our part. A truly great place for students with learning differences. We are so fortunate to have found CBA.

This school promotes itself as a school for students with learning differences. The teachers are superior. Each student has an advocate assigned. All students are encourage to participate in after school sports programs. Student involvement and sportmanship is outstanding. Very few discipline issues. Teacher to student ratio is advertised at 5:1. Very expensive but worth every penny. My student attended for three years and has moved on to another larger HS. I don't think this would have been possible 3 years ago.

this school is great for brilliant children with differences such as ADD, ADHD, digraphia, or dysexia. the teachers actually care about the students, and the students actually enjoy learning.

This is an excellent school grades k-12 actually, for bright children with learning differences. Great 5/1 student ratio with licensed teachers who want to see the kids excel. Finding this school was a lifesaver. My son now loves to go to school.

About these ratings

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.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
