My children and grandchildren had/are attending this school and had received/are receiving a great education.
What can I say, if you are looking to move I strongly suggest you look else where. You will get nothing but a huge headach!! The teachers are more concerned about who they like, and not about what there job should be. The administrative building will never help SO DON'T ASK!! This school is the worse school my children have ever attended!! So, whatever you do, do not go to this school!!
As a parent of 2 students at this school, I am never surprised by the lack of support. It seems that the administration is so busy trying to enforce ridiculous rules that they have no time or motivation to be involved with students or parents who want to help their child succeed. One child is an athlete, and upper average student. His evaluation of the school is that it is a hard place to be. The second child, although intelligent struggles with everything. I was told by the principal that he is not a bad kid, just a free spirit, 'and we here at CDHS do not encourage free spirits.' When I requested assistance to try to help get him back on track, I was told there is nothing they can do to help. I have nothing good that I can say concerning this school.
As a parent of a graduated learning support student, I found the school staff unwilling to assist with providing options for post secondary education.It seems as though the guidance counselors were more willing to assist the upper classmen than those students in the middle or lower section of the class.I would think that the counselors would be more involved with these students, since many were told by the teachers there is nothing out there. It also seems as though the staff only completed paperwork as mandated by the state in order to receive their funding and had no real interest in encouraging the student to pursue a higher level of education.What a shame for the students who lacked the encouragement from parents and teachers to pursue a higher education.Many of these students would possibly 'blossom' in an environment that is encouraging and rewarding for them.
