I personally loved Common Ground. I met the best people in my life there! All I'd like to change about it is it's lack of Performing Arts.

Common ground is not a good school if you want to get into good schools like Harvard. They act like they are preparing us for college when really the school is really bad; most kids are really behind. Teachers move around a lot some of them don't even stay long enough to teach the students something. A lot of the students here are depressed or suffering from mental illness that the school doesnt help with. Many of the students here hate the school and wish to be somewhere else. There are some good teacher that make it better. The administration bad and the students and teachers don't feel safe with them.

While the teachers are wonderful, the culture of community has slowly faded away since my freshman year. Granted there wasn't a super strong sense of community, the school was once much more connected. Because community is a selling point for Common Ground, something needs to change.

My son just graduated from CG and my daughter is a current Sophmore. My son was well prepared for college when he graduated due to the excellent teaching staff who really go above and beyond to ensure that students succeed. Not only are the classes and teaching of good quality but the extra-curricul...

The hands down worst school my daughter has ever been too. The staff is horrible and make no attempt to help a student when failing. My daughter missed a handful of days and immediately called a truency officer, despite her having a 504 plan and doctor notes. They didn't even try to help her when sh...
