The schools standards are very good. I am happy with the school.

I have 2 daughters in the school - 1 in 1st and 1 in 3rd. Both have said wonderful things about their main teachers as well as secondary (Library, Art, Music, Gym and Computers). The school is large which is great because it offers a lot of opportunity - but it is also small enough that kids feel comfortable. Great school!

The five star rating that this school is getting is from the small amount of reviews (12 reviews) but if more people took the time to write I highly doubt it would get the same rating. My children's experience here was very negative. Notice I said children which means they all had a bad time. The teachers refused to take the time to work with the children and it felt like they were more of just a number than a person. Our concerns were never addressed or considered. One of my children was having a hard time because she learned differently and we asked the teacher (and principal) to give her more challenging work because she was obviously bored. The response we got was NO SHE IS NOT READY AND WE WILL NOT ACCOMODATE. They made us feel like our child was the problem. She is now in all advanced classes and honor rolls in her new school. This is the second school she has attended since leaving CMS and she has performed exactly the same in the previous school as well after CMS. It is very clear what and who was the problem.

CMS has been an amazing environment for my children to be learning in. They have and are learning so much! The teachers are always caring and go well out of their way to help the kids develope a love for learning. My kids take school very seriously and always strive to do their best because it is noticed!

My daughter is very successful in CMS! They have the greatest teachers! We could not be happier with CMS! We can't wait for our son to start kindergarden at CMS next year!

My two kids go to CMS as we have been involved with the school for 4 years. All the teachers have been excellent and parent group is very active. Nice and safe facility. I couldn't be happier about the education my kids are receiving!
