"My son is a freshman. You have to apply like any other magnet school in CCSD. They do not take transfers after freshman year. There is a wait list and it's extensive. This year alone, 3000 8th graders applied, but only 500 were offered enrollment. They have selections of programs. Your child applies for 3 in the order of preference. They'll be selected for one along with the offer of enrollment. School is very clean and they do have stricter rules compared to other general CCSD schools. They offer honors courses based on your child's academic achievement or test scores. Definitely an academically challenging school. They only offer intramural sports as well as clubs for after school activities. If your child wants to play football, baseball, soccer, etc., they have to play at the school he or she is zoned based on where you live."

"Only bad thing about this school is that during covid they lowered Is there requirements to get into the school So there's lots of students who Really did not deserve to get into a Good school like this."

"Its great till you have a medical issuie that prevents you from going to school everyday and in top of that having mental disorders. But a lot 9f the teachers are great and the friends you make are even better. But still the accepted me in the school with knowledge of my health and attendance from middle school."

"08/10/19 Very poor parent communication. School starts in two days and we still don't have any information about where our students are supposed to go. At freshman orientation we were told we could pay fees and when it came time, they had stopped taking money because it was lunch time for them. We had to get pretty vocal before they decided to reopen the bank. I hope the it gets better, otherwise it will be a LONG 4 years! 10/08/19 Things have gotten better. Still not the best from admin, but at least the teachers are great with communication. 12/17/19 Still EXTREMELY POOR communication for admin. You know you have this thing called Parent Link for a reason!! You use it when you want money, surveys, or open house. Why can't you use it to notify us of schedule times for finals, to let us know there are make up times available, or when there are other important information? Teachers are OUTSTANDING!!!"
