This school was a breath of fresh air for me. It is a middle college, so I enrolled in my junior year. Compared to the traditional high school setting, I believe this school really stands out in regard to the responsibility, independence, and advocacy that the students exhibit. Our teachers are devoted, innovative, and work with us because they are very invested in our success. It is a small high school, so it feels like a small family here. After taking my college classes, I always looked forward to my CMS class here and the environment that has been cultivated by a caring staff and engaged student body. It is not the right path for every student, but I believe it is worth consideration. I have nothing but positive things to say about this school, and I believe it is a sentiment shared by many fellow classmates. I'm very proud to be graduating for this school, and thankful for the opportunites found here. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
