My son transferred from a highly rated public school at the end of 1st semester freshman year. He fit in immediately. His home work load increased almost infinitely, however he never complained. The difference is the teachers and staff are legitimately invested in his success. His grades have improved despite the tougher grading scale (100-93 is an A opposed to 100- 90 and so on). His student experience has been awesome as well, he never would have participated in a musical or theatrical production at the public school, however being a smaller school there was a need for actors, so he tried it. He absolutely loved it and got to know a different group of kids. He also learned how much work goes into a production and has a new appreciation for theatrical productions. If you were to ask him why he loves CC is that the work he puts on his homework is valued by the teachers and that motivates him to do his best work. If you are even considering sending your child to private school, interview some students at CC, take a tour, get your child to shadow a student. Yes the building is old, student parking is limited, but the important stuff that really makes up the school is the best you can get.
