I am a senior. I am really happy with all my teachers and the current Upper School director, Ms. Benson is the best. The food could use a bit of help and the homework load is a lot, but overall it's been a solid experience. They will make sure you do well no matter what and even though it gets stupid hard at some points, it's still a great place to be. Teachers really care about you and put the time in to make sure you are supported.

Much has changed at CWA. What used to be a top school is now one of the worst. There is a revolving door for teachers, families and coaches. Athletics are weak and academics are declining. I had hoped to switch schools but have stuck it out to graduation. I hope things turn around soon here but I'm not holding my breath.

As an alum, parent of two alums, and parent of a current student, Charles Wright has been a great fit for myself and my kids. Teachers who genuinely care, small class sizes, tight friend groups, loads of experiential and place based learning opportunities are just a few of the many aspects that make CWA a great school.

They created a sensory table in the classroom and thoughtfully filled one area with sharks with him in mind. When Robbie walked in and saw it...

This schools has a culture problem. The culture problem is not from the current or recent Heads of School who left in frustration, but because of the history of the school, the money that talks louder than ethical treatment of children and employees, and the way they look to blame someone instead of...
