Sophomore here,
I honestly thought throughout my Freshman year things will be great. I felt welcomed here due to that there kids in the school that are just like me in a way unlike my middle-school.
HOWEVER
The students in this school has complained that the admin hardly even care about their mental health which results in the students not speaking of it-as a sophomore,my mental health is terrible now as the admin like stated and not already said:
-Hardly care for the students and only see the kids as money signs
-Visible favoritism towards students
-Lack of caring for mental health
-Only caring for ONE major-that major being performing arts as they only give funding to that major
-Once your grades drop= Threatens to kick you out
-Only focuses on being the TOP school
-They paint the school as perfect despite the issues that I've said here as there are many more issues that they don't show to anyone (or tell)
-The teaching is terrible as students dont really understand anything that's being taught
-Lack of perfesonalism=admin
-Bullying of students=admin
This school,and it's admin is something,it has potential to be a great place but the more I stay here,the more I learn here,the more I walk here-Is making me want to leave slowly.

My Grandson told me that one of the school administrators was bullying him. His Name is Mr. Smith. This is a horrible school and please don't let your kids go here. They really don't care about the kids here. Mr Smith, SHAME ON YOU. SO DISGUSTING!! TRULY DISGUSTING AND NO ONE DOES ANYTHING. BUT THE DEVIL IS A LIAR AND YOU SHALL REAP WHAT YOU SOW. God sees you. Truly Horrible staff and Administration ON a scale from 1 to 10 a Minus 10. As educators of our children they need to DO BETTER!! NO ONE WOULD PUT THEIR CHILDREN IN THE HANDS OF BULLIES!! SO Disappointed and Truly Ashamed of this school. CMSD DO BETTER. OUR CHILDREN DEPEND ON ADULTS TO KNOW BETTER! And have their Best Interests at heart. Really...And as for B. Smith YOU ARE A COWARD AND A MAN CHILD. SMH.. And should be FIRED.

Honestly, you'd expect so much from a school that seems to be so open-minded and helpful towards their students, but it's quite the opposite. My brother, a senior, is in his last 3 months of school and is having massive issues THAT NO ONE will listen and help him with. He's constantly talking to the administrators, addressing the fact that other students are harassing him! For reference, my brother has been attending CSA for four years now and has had no previous issues up until recently.
They say they need proof, they say they need more than "he-say, she-say" but when he's coming to you, OVER and OVER during his LAST MONTHS asking for a solution, a work around, anyway he can continue to work and do his stuff in peace, you do NOTHING. He's a SENIOR, he has EVERYTHING to lose! What sense does it make that he would be lying? Let's be reasonable here. And from what I've seen from previous reviews, he isn't the only child dealing with bullying and harassment. Faculty call parents, talk a big game, but when someone shows up it's time to sweat and make things up!
My brother deserves better. These students as a whole deserve better and something NEEDS to be done because the entirety of this is ridiculous. Mr. Smith, specifically needs to lose his job, because he obviously doesn't care about the students. He's there to pick up a paycheck and sit in his office and do nothing. They have cameras for a reason, yet they act like pulling them up to view the authenticity on a student's claims is too much. When will proper action be taken? When will the education of our children mean ANYTHING to these institutions we drive our hard earned money into? CSA is no place for your child. Unless you want them to be ignored and ostracize for voicing their problems unless their a teacher/faculty members favorite.
The board of education needs to investigate this school, run through and fire who needs to be fired! Give us real teachers, counselors, and administrators who care about our students! I wouldn't blame anyone who withdraws their child from here because it's filled with nothing but corrupt and heartless individuals who could couldn't care less if a child dropped dead as long as they get paid.
