[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]M [b]DS was in CCPCS from 1st-8th grade, from when the school was brand new. DD left after 6th grade.[/b]

I really like the elementary school (Pre-K through 4th or 5th), but didn't feel like the middle school and higher was very strong.

I think at that point, Cap City's dedication to not following the norm hurts the students more then it helps, their grading schemes become much more confusing, and some of the innovation is not beneficial to the students.

This is not to say I dislike CCPCS, I love their elementary school and I know many excelant teachers there, just that (as I told them when they were expanding into middle and high school grades) I don't think many of their methods translate well into upper grades where the goal is to prepare students for college and the workforce.[/quote]

OP specifically asked for parents of CURRENT middle school students.  Clearly that's not you. But go ahead because we all need to hear your opinion that references an experience from years ago, well before the move to Peabody.  :roll: [/quote]

I am the PP.

My daughter is a lower school student.
I also was able to see the school grow from the beginning, so I have seen their philosophy shift and grow. I might be 100% up to date, but I damn well know a lot about the school's basis and strengths.[/quote]
