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.

Overall, academically, the school succeeds. The rate of students who end up in good colleges is amazing, but the school experience is terrible. We are an office building converted into a school, which means sports offerings are almost nonexistant. Admin is also consistently a bother and is extremely ineffective.

Its a very good charter school great academics and college readiness, not an ideal school for sports though, mostly a school revolving around science and all your academics.

I have enjoyed my time at CSP. I feel it has provided me with a solid foundation to attend college and be successful in the future. I was going to go to a terrible middle school and was lucky to be able to go to CSP. I have loved it ever since I got here. The teachers are compassionate and listen to the students.
