The only thing I would change about the school environment is the education of the teachers in terms of neurodivergent students. As a parent, it is concerning to have a teacher say a child doesn't look like they have a medical condition.

Worked here part-time for a year. Great Admin, Great Staff, and the kids were respectful and when there were problems with behavior they addressed it ASAP. Other schools need to follow their own ways. I have friends who have kids there and they love it.

0/5I went to this school for a few years and went to Margeurite Christian for the other part of my elementary school experience. And may I just say, C.C. Wells is far from being my favorite of the two schools. While the administration at Wells is fine, most teachers are very lazy and do not work as...

Excellent! I had 3 kids there and the teachers recognized their potential and referred them to either advanced or gifted programs. The school involves community/parents. It also strongly encourages reading even with families. Overall very pleased with our experience there for the past several years.

This environment is one of the most fun loving, compassionate places a child could learn. While at CCWells my child has developed so much academically and emotionally. Although my child is quirky and independent, no one is trying to squash that out or make my child for a mold.
