[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CCPCS lower school only had a 65% proficiency rate this year on the CAS, correct? That is pretty horrible and not related to test prep. The CAS is a standards based assessment so good teaching should propel kids beyond 65% regardless of test prep. That score leaves a lot of kids basic and below basic, which is unacceptable - especially in a  charter with so many resources. High school was around 45% proficient. Sad.[/quote]

Remember though, you still have many many ESL kids which definitely affects the scores.  To the person who said that CC is awful after 3rd grade, get a life and go away.  I had 2 kids at CC last year.  One who is staying for 5th grade and the other who is moving on to high school.  I actually really liked CC's middle school, but we were in the upper school.  My son is extremely bright and the teachers were amazing!  I asked them to challenge him and they did.  My son spent 6th through 8th grade at CC.  He had a wonderful group of friends.

Bullying was pretty much nonexistent in the upper school.  The school just really does not tolerate it.  The kids tend to be very excepting and caring toward one another.  While I did not think that it was rigorous enough for high school (a lot of 8th grade parents stayed this year for high school), I thought it was a perfect environment for middle school.  The required portfolio at the end of 8th grade was VERY challenging though.  I didn't need him to do Calculus in 6th grade and be fluent in 5 languages.  I needed him to be happy and thoughtful.[/quote]
