I have had three children attend CMHS. Two were classic over achievers and they excelled. One of my children, however, has severe ADHD and needed a lot of assistance. I found both the administration and the teachers seriously lacking in understanding and the ability to handle a child with educational difficulties. I too found the parent portal to be of little assistance. Teachers only emailed if there was a behavioral difficulty and only identified grade issues at the end of the semester where little could be done to address the issue.
If you have a child that begins to struggle, you won't hear about it from a teacher or guidance counselor. You'll first learn of it from a progress report or a report card; even though emails and telephone numbers are readily available to the teachers. The administration advises you to monitor the portal page but most teachers are quite lax about keeping the portal current. Many are delinquent at responding to emails and telephone calls. Our daughter was an honor student and graduated from CMHS so we did not experience these challenges with her teachers. Our son who is four years behind her attended but has had difficulty in the math and sciences departments. The teachers we have worked with have been a disappointment, with rare exception.
Blue Ribbon School, yes, AP classes, yes! But leadership needs to be refreshed and the kids that are off track need more support. So, if you are a high achiever, you will excel. If you need help - this is a public school setting and you may need to look elsewhere. There is a LEAD program, but what happens if that 1 teacher is gone?
Excellent school in all respects. I have 3 children who graduated from CMHS, all doing well in their respective colleges. One has graduated from the University of Chicago with Honors and a higher grade point average than he was able to achieve in HS. Excellent teachers, staff facilites and coaches. I wish I could go bact to this HS!
