This school was a pretty good school. Some of the teachers were really helpful and taught pretty well. I have learned a lot from this School and they have helped me prepare for college as much as they could. Honestly I don’t really think there’s much to change but many teachers left this year and especially the teachers that were kind of important to the upcoming seniors so I’m not completely sure how these next few years are going to go!
One of the things that I am most proud of is my school. I can say that it has truly transformed me into the person I am today. The teachers, curriculum, friends, and values have been crucial in the development of my social and thinking skills. CSAS is the most diverse school in Chattanooga. In my classes, I see nearly every color, ethnicity, and economic class being represented. Not only has the diversity exposed me to many different people, it has also given me a picture of the real world.
Although there are many good things about my school, there is still much to improve on-- the main issues being the facilities and the food. CSAS is a magnet school, but it is a public school. This means that the funding is coming from the government. In all transparency, the government has failed to do its job when it comes to allotting necessary funding for the upkeep of facilities, as well as quality food for students. In order to better our school environment, these problems must be addressed.

CSAS is a K-12 school so I've been there all my life. The teachers are great and the student that goes there are great aswell. Pretty much all the teachers that are there know what they are doing and they are willing to help you if you are having trouble. It's obvious that they care about every student. It's just all-around a fun school to go to. I'm not putting 5 stars on it just because of the food! The cafeteria food is very bad but once you get to your senior year of high school you won't have to worry about that because they'll you go out of the building to eat lunch. I'm happy I went to this school because it has definitely prepared me for my future.
