Social-wise, CJCPCS is a very close community of students and faculty, so everyone usually knows everyone. It's a close group, making it easier to get to know your peers and make friends easily. Small class sizes also allow students to have one-on-one communication with their teachers, allowing them to receive help in a more relaxing setting than if placed among a large class. However, I would like to see change in administration and the way they view the student body. Even as a senior, it still becomes difficult to bring up certain topics or to discuss our own opinions without being ridiculed and ignored. We should be able to sit down with administration and be able to have a reasonable conversation where all of our opinions and views are respected without being shut down. Also, there needs to be more communication with the school and the student body and teachers, as major changes are performed that directly affect staff and the students, yet we are uninformed until days later.
The school helps involve students to gain a better education. The school has gotten students to take part in college credit courses. Central Jersey College Prep Charter School helps voice their opinions on the students' improvement and how can the student take a step further than what he or she has been doing. Currently, the school has taken part in helping students to take part in clubs and activities. By aiding the students to take a step higher than what the student is used to, the staffs work nonstop to get us closer to a higher goal. One thing that could help the school progress is if the staffs do not force the load upon the students. Instead, the staffs should aid the students to believe that they should accomplish the work themselves.
Teachers are good but current administration is bad, they only care about the money and overspending. They do not use the money where it is needed, they keep having studies done about expansion. The administration needs to focus in getting all issues hammered out before trying to expand enrollment or campuses. Administration was better a few years ago. School is getting worse instead of getting better. Blue Ribbon status was obtained by previous administration and for grades 6-12.
