School Reviews

I am a believer in what you put in, you get out. Middle school is a difficult time for our children and has been made more difficult with the current pandemic. A little rough at first but CMS tackled the virtual learning and ensured all students had access to learning. Sadly, many of those students didn't take advantage of it and missed out. It takes effort from all of us, parents, teachers, students to raise a successful generation. CMS is dedicated to doing just that. The principal somehow knows every one of the students by name, is in the hallway during transitions, and is really good with parents too. I was hesitant, admittedly, to send my kid to CMS. but found that she's thrived at CMS, personally and educationally.
