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.

I have had a pretty good time attending CIMS for these six years. I enjoyed most of my teachers over the years. The corona virus messed up my freshman year a lot, I think it did for almost everybody. However, all of my teachers still found a way to make online school work for us. Although the counselors could have done a bit of a better job, as we all can, I still think that my years have been good here.

The best parts about my existence is that everyone is treated equally and with respect as well as everyone being able to engage in all activities. There is no bad parts since administration takes care of every inconvenience.

My brothers used to go here, and now I go here and we all agree this school may not be the worst, it's still bad.

Horrible. My niece and son no longer wanted to even go to school due to their need to fail all their students three first year they opened so they could say they raised then up the next year.
