She went to the front office to the nurses station with a nurse who had Red hair who still works there she went with STROKE LIKE SYMPTOMS, uncoordinated, couldn't answer basic questions, couldn't raise her arms or use her legs and she had her wheeled to the car instead of calling 911 with no explanation to us of what was going on. We ended up going to the fire station where they were able to call an ambulance and get her taken care of. Teachers n nursing staff are incompetent when it comes to kids with medical issues all in all. Even if a kid didnt have prior medical issues, but was exhibiting symptoms of a medical emergency? They should know what that looks like. As a nurse this is unacceptable with no sense of care or urgency. We get it everyone's overworked but, have some compassion and pay attention. If your kid is ever in need be prepared to have argue with staff over keeping your kid safe.

Personalized tutoring available. The Head of the school Mr. Jim Zwers, Dean Sikica Feldman, Elly Lago and the rest of the Staff go beyond the ordinary to make sure all students are happy, learning and having the best school experience ever. The school is very supportive of the personal goals of each student, guiding them in that direction so they can accomplish their goals. My granddaughters have learned not only academics but social skills and athletic training with the Knights cheerleading team. The holistic approach to education of CAI is brilliant preparing these students for life becoming the best version of themselves, ready to be successful in our society and contributing as a member of a group. I highly recommend this school.

My daughter runs on a pretty intense schedule and to me that is a very high plus point. In the adult world where you have big dreams and goals, you need to be set up with education, discipline and persistence. You need to know how to be part of a group and a team member. I truly believe that this school will set her up in life. And I have to give a shout out to Julie the cheer coach. She has a huge job. I see that. But what she's providing to these girls is a a wonderful activity where they are winning. My daughter is so proud to show me her routine as she learns, she's so proud to have her cheer uniform and is sooooo excited to perform. As a mother it fills me with utter joy to dress her up and watch her perform. I'm so thankful that the school and its staff are all there creating this environment. And as far as the previous negative review. It is old and nothing like what I experience. Moving here from California, I needed fast response and assistance in getting my kids enrolled. The school staff were there for me. I needed something addressed, I waiting less than 5 minutes to speak with the Dean directly. My daughter takes flowers from home to her teacher and that to me is a great indicator she's happy.

I HIGHLY recommend having a lawyer on speed dial if your child attends this school!…read more Especially to ensure accurate and unbiased records are being kept. Accountability is elusive and paper trials are carefully curated with precision to shield the administration from scrutiny. Expect a tightly controlled narrative that (conveniently) omits key context, concerns, and evidence provided from the student/parent. Don't believe me? Ask to review official records. Unfortunately, you cannot assume good faith. Decisions affecting student outcomes can be made without transparency, communication, or compassion. Critical meetings are rushed, imbalanced and tightly controlled - leaving families outnumbered, and little to no room for true advocacy or protection. In my experience, they have documented exaggerated or false claims in official records, denied parents access to Zoom recordings of key meetings, and more. If you believe the school district will act as an unbiased party, don't be fooled. They rely solely on the school's internal narrative- ignoring concerns brought by parents or students altogether. In my case, legal safeguards were sidestepped entirely to reach a predetermined outcome. Transparency and fairness? Nowhere to be found. Unless your child has a very strong adult advocate, they may have no real shot at justice within these walls. I urge any parent (especially those with an IEP, 504, or any emotional/behavioral challenges) to bring third-party advocates and legal counsel to any meetings. Record all communications and request everything in writing. At this school, documentation is weaponized, not used as a safeguard. And without legal eyes on every detail, children easily become the scapegoat for the school and system's failures.

Teachers are kind, but the uniform and dress code is absurd. Every five seconds, there is a teacher…read morecommenting on your hair, uniform, or even face. Sometimes, it seems they care more about dress code than the students' education. You shouldn't feel insecure every time you wear the uniforms. No fake nails, no mascara unless you're in 8th grade, maximum of 3 braclets (including hair ties), and you are not allowed to have more than 1 ear piercing. Let girls be girls. It feels like there are rules just to have rules and to seem strict. They also banned perfume and strong cologne. You are only allowed to go to your locker 4 times a day (including before and after school). They don't allow bringing food into school for lunch or breakfast ( including drinks). Kids shouldn't feel sexualized every time they put on a school uniform. Kids are starting to stop dressing out because of how strict the dress code is. The only things you can wear are a 6 inch shorts, sweatpants, and baggy jeans. Another thing is that they have useless classes. Technology shouldn't be a comp class and a normal class as well. Kids shouldn't feel stressed out because of a class that won't matter to them in 5 years. The bathroom rules are also strict, 1 student at a time. The teachers force you to use a planner, and they have to sign it every time you use the restroom, and you have to sign out on a sheet by the door as well. I feel like that is kind of extra giving that the bathroom is down the hall. The bathrooms don't have feminine products in the lady's room, which I feel is necessary. They don't have dividers in between the urinals in the boys' restroom, which is an invasion of privacy. You are not allowed to change for PE. Your shirt has to be tightly tucked in, and if it is not, you get a referral. If a boys hair touches their eyebrows, they have to get it cut within a week after the warning, or it leads with a demerit. Do you want every boy to have a buzzcut?! Overall, the education isn't bad. Just please let kids be kids. Not everyone is going to want to dress and look to your standards. Sorry to break it to you. I want students to feel comfortable in their school, if that means feminine products in the lady's room, or dividers between the urinals in the boys' room. Please take this into account and change some of the strict rules.
