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.

Overall CSAS is a great school that will definitely help me to excel in college. I have been able to thrive by building relationships with my teachers and classmates. We have our own community and are encouraged to do our very best. The courses are all honors and will definitely challenge and prepare me for college.

The school has a fairly tough curriculum. It thoroughly prepares students for college. I've been here since kindergarten and I've loved it. There's been some changes with the administration, but the curriculum is pretty much the same. There's diversity in the school and that improved my social skills over the years. The teachers are great and they genuinely challenge you to be the best you can be. Overall, CSAS is a great school and I've loved it here.

I use to go to this school. I do miss the students and most of my teachers. Those teachers really care about the children. I was just extremely stupid to not make any effort to improve during the whole year.
