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.

I have been going to the school since 6th grade and have been through it all-- I recommend going to the school as it has many resources to help with college, however it does not have many sports and classes. Very limited on thatm

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.

Ive been attending community charter school of Cambridge for 4 years. The academics at the school are great. For my first two years at the school the behavioral system was quite harsh but it got better over time. The community is very close and loving and the teachers genuinely care about their students. The work load can't be a lot at times but it's nothing you can't handle. Although, I wish the school gave students direct access to their gpa.

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.

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...
