"CPMA is an okay school, if you are looking for a good school for your children to be safe and/or to feel safe when they go to school this is not the school for your kids/kid.I have been though some pretty horrible times at this school and i would NOT want any other child to go though the same things i did. Constant anxiety and the fear of stepping foot in this school half the time. BUT some of the electives are pretty neat such as the art classes. The choir is alright but if your kid needs attention on there voice they will not get it and most of the time they have to blend into with the other singers. A LOT of the teachers in CPMA are extremely lazy, here and there you will get a good egg but I don't think a lot of the teachers are qualified to even teach. Also in this school there are many kids that say they will jump you and that they will fight you but most of the time they never d, a lot of the counselors do nothing to fix it as well ( excepted for Mr.Fuller and Mr. Morris he is amazing and knows exactly what to do. he has such an amazing personalty about everything and i can tell he really cares about the kids at CPMA) The reason I didn't give this school one star is because even though there are horrible people in the school its hard to just forget about the good people here at CPMA, anyway i hope this helped possibly just a little bit."

"CPMA is a good school if you want them to learn more about art, singing, video etc. but my suggestion is that you do not put your kids here if you care about there self confidence. You will get bullied for the dumbest things ever. Even though it’s a part of middle school the kids here will make your children seam like they are worthless to this world and they are no good"

"This school isn't THAT bad. I mean if you look at most the teachers, their nice caring, sweet, and they try to get your grade up. But if you look at the children, oooh boy. The children here, i have to admit, are rude. They curse like there's no tomorrow. I defiantly do it too, but sometimes it gets out of hand. And they have attitude, I'd give and example so, I say hi then they look at me and start giving me sass like im not supposed to be talking to them. But I'm a sixth grader, that's my point of view for CPMA. The first year is always scary, and 7th and 8th always have an advantage to mess around with 6th. Of course this is middle school, you get in a fight, draws attention. And the bad thing about it, is that the teachers barely do ANYTHING about it. It's not like "okay im separating you two, but stop fighting. The bus, I've got to say is the *worst*. Fighting, cursing, yelling, and the food. The thing that's a challenge is finding a seat. Everyone buts their bags or things next to them and say you can't sit here, or just make a face. I'd say CPMA is a okay school, but if you'd like to give your child a favor, don't send them on the bus."

"I would love to write a review explaining the joy and happiness that I had here at CPMA, but there is little to tell. The children here are massively undisciplined, and are very chaotic. All the classrooms were hectic, and very little education was actually learned. Most days consisted of being yelled at for other students wrong doings. I myself felt that this school was not challenging me enough, and switched into a more academic oriented school (Standley Middle School). It was a VERY unsafe environment, especially to those who did not indulge in the violent behavior, such as myself. The school is fantastic with all types of arts, and I was quite impressed with the variety given, such as 3-D printing and amazing theater program, but they absolutely lack disciplinary punishment and how to teach academic classes.Though all of these bad things at the school, I definitely will say that almost all the teachers were an absolute wonder to have, and a big shout out to Ms.Hickman and Mr.Fleck for being amazing. The teachers at this school are outright the best i'v ever had, and frankly, more fun to hang out with than the kids. I would not recommend this school to any student who is looking forward for a challenging classroom, or expecting a nice quiet classroom, which is quite rare to find. Hopefully, the next round of students coming in will have better attitude then my 6th and 7th year(2014-2016) at CPMA."
