1. Less structured teaching/classroom environment;
2. No high school cafeteria/lunch program;
3. CCO restricts the number of college applications to 12; 
4. No AP courses offered, and the AP exam is NOT administered on campus; and
5. Founded as a racially integrated school in 1945 (on the right side of history).

1. More structured/traditional teaching and classroom environment;
2. High school cafeteria (lunch included in tuition cost);
3. CCO does NOT restrict students’ college applications; 
4. No AP courses offered, however, the AP exam is administered on campus; and
5. Founded in 1883 and racially segregated until 1956 (NOT on the right side of history). [/quote]
