I learned a lot here, some of the teachers were better than others. I learned many valuable life lessons from some of the less popular teachers but they impacted me the most. Safety was the least of my concerns at this school because of how secure it was. I feel prepared for college education wise and I was challenged to do better. Overall I'd say cornerstone did a good job at teaching its students, as long as the student was willing to learn.

The best part of Cornerstone Charter Academy was that the curriculum prepared me for college. The worst part of my experience was how this school was ran, and the poor administration faculty. I would like to see change in the school board, making decisions for the parents and students of this school, not just the administrators.

Cornerstone is a small, safe school which focuses heavily on academic success of the students. I have enjoyed the close bonds I've created with teachers and friends over the years. I wish there was more diversity in terms of race and demographic groups. I hope the school implements more of art and cultural aspects of learning in future.
