Very rigorous academics. The teachers expected a lot from there students. I would agree that care isn't always taken when it comes to mental health, but then when/where in the world is mental health a high priority. I've enjoyed my time at CPS. It is heavy stem focus initially, but once your core courses are finished, it has a high level of liberal arts courses to enjoy.

It is an extremely supportive enviroment where my...

Pros (facts): -Three of my classes senior year had 5 or fewer students. The school is willing to hold classes for the sake of its students, ev...
