I like how CJCP focuses on getting you into the college environment with the challenging work and the adaptation to technology to make it more accessible for students; however, I would like to have more club activity/club empowerment to perform activities that can raise awareness of the club and allow to raise funds for further club activity into the school, especially increasing student morale so that they genuinely enjoy learning in the environment CJCP provides.

The interactions between the teachers/administration and the students need to improve. There are some teachers that are okay and all, but other times they will suspend you for the simplest things. Especially the administration; they need to fix up their interactions with the students as well. This school often changes and it is practically impossible to plan ahead because the administration can almost never make up their mind and they never tell students what they are planning on doing until they actually do it.
The academics at this school are very challenging, yet rewarding and students take an abundance of college level classes to help prepare for a university level education. However more social clubs and athletic programs could help this school grow to even more of a potential.
