I am in the magnet program and I can't say much about the resident. The magnet program is a good learning environment although in some classes, you don't learn as much as you think your suppose to. I think parents should be more involved and the teachers should encourage students more if they get bad grades. The school is somewhat safe and has a nice campus. We need to improve our test scores though.

We are not thrilled with the leadership in this school. They are reactionary at best.

Hi! i am an honor magnet student at CMS. there are several good teachers, all of which teach in the magnet. the biology class lets the students experience disection (worms, starfish, etc.) my eigth grade science teacher is very experienced and lets us participate in many lab experiments. she also helps us with the science fair and 90% of the winners came from her class. and my english teacher makes english fun while teaching us at a high school level. the residence class are ok but not as hands on and advanced as the magnet or SAS. There are very few extracurricular activities and the only time when parents are involved is during mandatory student led conferences. Our school had had many issues like fights and ill-behaving students.
