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.

My experience at CCAA has been pretty good. I have met most of my friends there and I have a lot of fun these days. I can join a sport if I want too, I have been part of the soccer team and the basketball team. Boys soccer and girls volleyball have been really popular.

This school is really great for students who have always felt like the underdog because it has a way of welcoming each and every student. I do not think that minorities are welcomed at this school though and that is why I would not recommend this school for African American students. The really small amount of students and faculty help to ensure that each student is individualized, unlike at a big high school.

Confidence is shattered in the kids that are attacked! There is a huge issue when a Principal allows...
