My son is struggling and the quality of the teachers and instruction is not as good as public schools. A lot of testing and not teaching the standards in depth.

Definitely left a very positive first impression and it was a pleasure to speak to her. You could immediately tell that Principal Anderson is someone who deeply cares about her school's reputation but also satisfaction from the parents and her leadership skills definitely shined through when she spoke about her wonderful staff. We are very excited to be on campus soon.

This school district is amazing and we had nothing but positive experiences until entering RHS. Could not be more elated to be done with graduation.

Thank you to the teachers who did truly make a difference with their caring hearts, communication, and student support.

To whoever is reading this, I beg of you to please start monitoring your parking area. It is highly…read moreunsafe and as well chaotic. I have been parking at the park just to avoid the chaotic mess of it, but because of the rain, I have started to come much early to wait in the drop-off and pick-up section. I have seen plenty skip the line and get in front of others including me when I go on the pick up drop off lane. As I recall, two lines are going in: one is for the drop off pick up section, and the other is to leave, yet people constantly cut the lines and block everyone from leaving. On top of that, I have a disability pass for parking, and I could never park there because people blocked me from leaving or block me from parking in. This is insane; you can't block disability parking lots and make people wait while you wait on your child. I work at a school and we always have teachers come out and switch days for monitoring the parking situation getting out of hand. The fact that nobody comes out and nobody is helping out with the situation goes to show that sooner or later there's going to be a car accident or a fight. If it's your first day here, do not park in the parking spots at all because you will not come out until school is well over 10 minutes ago.

The school was not as great for my kids, when we moved here my daughter came home complaining about…read morethe food not being cooked properly. She is specifically referring to the grilled cheese sandwiches. She also felt annoyed because she would get in trouble for talking even though the teacher said she could go and help other.

When looking for a school for our child, we had a list of necessities which included a safe and…read moresecured environment, loving staff and a great curriculum. Having toured several other schools, we were unable to find the right fit until we found CIS. Not only do they check off all of our boxes but they offer so much more than we could have ever asked for. In addition to providing a safe and secure environment, every staff member truly loves what they do and cares about each and every student. It is a home away from home and I know that each day that I leave my child in their hands, that she is more than well taken care of. They are extremely communicative and share classroom updates, school news and photos of my child each and every day. We love that it is project-based and a STEAM school as she has already learned so much! Additionally she is learning how to speak and write in Spanish and Mandarin! We absolutely LOVE her sweet teachers Mrs. Trujillo and Mrs. Alltop and couldn't be more grateful for this wonderful school and all the incredible people that work here!

The school is super clean and modern. They have cameras everywhere and the entry to the school is…read morelocked and each family is given their own keycard to allow them entry. There is a lot of modern technology, they even have robots. The staff is absolutely amazing! Everyone makes you feel at home. There is one class per grade which adds to the home like feeling since the school is small and more intimate. 1:8 ratio, each class has a total of 16 students and a teacher and educational assistant. So each child gets the attention they need. They also provide individual educational plans. The students learn BOTH Mandarin and Spanish. And they also offer global studies. It's project based learning so not a lot of homework and busy worksheet type work. I'm blown away with everything CIS has to offer my child! This school is everything I thought it would be! My child is thriving so much! And it feels like a real family here. I love how small and intimate it is. And I'm really looking forward to my child growing up with her classmates over the years. I highly recommend CIS to anyone that is looking for a unique school experience for their children. It's also a VERY safe environment. I never have to worry about my child which gives me so much peace of mind!
