It was okay, not great but certainly not awful. I am really grateful for the friends I made and lost and the teachers who shaped who I am. There is a lot that I learned in classes and outside of classes within the walls of this school. So much of who I am was shaped by my time and experiences in this school.

This school needs some real changes. It is very closed minded, sports-centered, and hardly has a music program. There's no drama program. The band and choir rooms are falling apart, as is the auditorium. Yet the sports teams get new equipment nearly every year. Still, the teachers work hard and are kind and understanding. There have been real strides in the past 5 years to foster an inclusive environment. However, I felt totally unprepared for college when I got there.

I loved the very friendly and helpful staff throughout the entire school district. The many options in athletics, arts, and other extracurricular events makes going to this school even better. I would highly recommend this school to anyone as it feels like a second home and is very supportive of everyone in the district.

My children have done very well at C-I. Alot of it depends on your attitude going in. My son will graduate with 30 college credits and he strives to be successful. Every school has its ups and downs. I am personally satisfied and am proud of our academics and athletics and music programs.
