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.

As a parent from out of state, CLC has been a breath of fresh air. We have found the people, staff, parents, students, and teachers to be amazing. We are impressed with the amount of opportunities for student and parent engagement throughout the school year to showcase the hard work our kids are doing during the day.
