GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

To be honest, I had a very rough start with CCSC but have grown to love it here. There is an excellent community, staff that really do care about you, and a ease in getting grades that your parents would be proud of if you just work hard. Even though it's a small school, you will find your community here. I also have to mention the teachers and support for college is phenomenal. Many kids here do head to prestigious institutions, and any hardworking student who cares about their work can achieve the same.

Overall, It has been a positive experience at CCSC. They truly are working to shape the next generation of youth into becoming ready for the next stages of their education in College.

My experience at CCSC was unique. During my first two years of high school, I had a normal student life that consisted of classes, sports, and outside activities. In my last two years of high school, COVID-19 emerged, and I witnessed a new world of online learning that was different.

There are frequent fights in the classrooms with no consequences. They say they have a zero tolerance for bu...

The teachers at CCSC are great, but the school's curriculum is very agenda driven. It is not a good school to send your child to if they are black or brown. They are a school intent on indoctrinating the youth and pushing ideals of privileged, white LGBTQ+ school leaders on the kids.

I am writing this as a former longtime employee and parent. I would not send my child here. The teaching staff and students are great, but the administrative team subject the community to a very skewed and politically driven agenda. White supremacy culture is in full force within the school walls. P...

I am an alumnus of CCSC. My time at CCSC was the best time of my life. I am currently attending a top university, and if you compare the work CCSC gives you with the work that students are doing at top high schools in the country, it's actually not as hard, even though students complain a lot. If yo...
