Solid school. Incredibly focused on sports so if that's not your cup of tea, maybe not for you. Otherwise, great!

Very excellent school. I am a student currently in the fifth grade during the covid 19 epidemic. Right now my experience is very nice. The lunch is good, there are not really any bullies. And the teachers are also very nice. Overall, this is a very good school.

This is a school of beautiful people. The community is outstanding and the resources have provided me with a solid social, academic, and creative foundation. The competitive environment can chip away over the years, but the majority of people are kind and supportive.

Very disappointed in the overly conservative way that Mike Davis and the Board have approached COVID. My kids currently attend CA and the school is already stating that masks will be required full time in August, 2021. They are putting the well being of high risk folks ahead of the students at the s...
