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.

My overall experience at Cochrane Collegiate Academy has been great . I have been attending this school since i was in middle school since my 7th grade year i would have been there during my 6th grade year also . But unfortunately under circumstances i was forced to move to Roanoke Va during my 6th grade year at the last minute . Everything happens for a reason but i feel my experience would have been better if i hadn't moved to VA but ofc everything has it's ups and downs . But i love cochrane from the students to the teachers down to the admin and i also know they feel the same about me the admin has always helped and had my back through all my ups and downs they are also always there when i need them even the teachers . Honestly i feel my experience at other schools wouldn't have been the same i love the small setting @ Imeck ( HS @ Cochrane ) i notice that i learn to the best of my abilities giving the fact that i have smaller classes and i think my classmates also feel the same .

This school gave me a fresh start from leaving my old school. My old school have left me very broken and tore up. This new school has made me feel welcomed and showed me what my other school didn't. It may be small but it surely helped me and taught me more about college than my old school and the people there were not even close to as rude snd harmful as the people at my old school.

As a former student who is now off to college, my year at this school had taught me many things. I used to despise school and I went to some really great schools, but I learned to value the schools I went to and ended up going to. Almost everyday there was a kid, or various students who started a di...

The school has some great faculty but the students are ruthless, undisciplined and already off to a bad future. I have never had any discipline problems from my daughter until she started going to this school. Students are picking at her, telling her who she can be friends with and what to say to pe...

If you can help it, DO NOT have your child enrolled in this school. As a new resident to the Charlotte area, the office staff assured me my son would continue hisEngineering studies but he was NOT assigned to any such thing. I was informed to contact CMS but wasn't given any details regarding how to...
