GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

The center for Academic Success does not have any sports teams, but they are making an effort for students to get involved in sports by letting them play soccer and basketball in before and aftercare. They have a free lunch program for all students at the school, k-12. The students have a support system through the teachers and faculty so they are able to strive to do their best.

What I really enjoyed about CAS #1 was their independent study classes. I could do as many classes as I wanted and it was all on my pace. I didn't have to worry about getting behind in a class, it was all on my own and my pace. Another plus side to the independent study classes were that the teachers were right there if you ever needed assistance, and since few took the classes you could get a better one on one experience with the class and teacher with little disturbance.

There were very few class options. If you wanted to take any class outside of basic math, science, English, or history (i.e. any honours or A.P. class) you had to do so via Independent Studies/Online classes.

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THE LAST REVIEW. ESPECIALLY "Rather than deal with issues, the administration takes a posture of denial and counter accusations. They've used this tactic to skirt around teachers being physically violent with students, and unreasonable disciplining of students...essentially,...

This review is for the elem/middle school. The campus houses pre-k - 12th. My two boys attended this school from kindergarden through 7th and 5th grades respectively. At first, it was a great school with very caring and attentive staff. Once the new school was built, however, the quality of everythi...

My child is very happy at this school. The teachers and staff are great. The schedule is flexible allowing the students to take community college courses concurrently with high school courses. Unfortunately, the only branch of service that will accept the gradution diploma from this school is the Ar...
