I am a longtime parent, I have 3 children that have and attend Charlotte Secondary since 6th grade. 2 have since graduated and have gone on to College. We were looking for a smaller school than CMS, where my student wasn't just a number and that they were not being taught for a test. CSS offers small class sizes, an amazing eclectic, diverse group of students, where everyone is welcomed and the culture is inclusive to all.

A bit lacking, but a very good school otherwise. The teachers are usually pretty easygoing, from my experience.

The administration at the school doesn't follow protocol and very unprofessional. It's a code of ethics that most be followed and what I've personally witnessed from this secondary school is below satisfactory. Teachers aren't helping kids develop in areas that they're showing weakness in. Which lea...
